[edit] Hamlet

Thanks, I'd personally like to have a Common critical subjects section rather than a theme section, but I don't know what others would think. I think it would easily cover whatever users wanted in a theme section, but have a better focus on scholars and what they think. I've taken a break from the article for awhile, though. I don't like fights. I use wikipedia for fun, and if it isn't fun, than why bother? Wrad 23:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, on your question of why the themes section disappeared. Somebody removed it, saying that it had poor refs. You can see what they said if you look at the page's edit history. I'm actually kind of inclined to agree with them. I may swamp it with a whole bunch of information and good refs in a little while. Wrad 23:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shakespeare project - New collaboration debate

The Shakespeare project's first collaboration has ended in success, with William Shakespeare reaching FA status! Congrats to all who chipped in! We also had success in our second collaboration Romeo and Juliet, which is now a GA. Our next step is deciding which article to collaborate on next. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shakespeare#Next Collaboration to help us choose. Thanks. Wrad 04:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hamlet

The Shakespeare Project's new collaboration is now to bring Hamlet to GA status. Wrad 00:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adopt offer

If you'd like I'll adopt you? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:46, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd made the change in your page. I'm so excited you decided to take my offer. You seem like a good editor. Before you decide let me just briefly introduce myself. I'm 17 years old and live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I've been with Wikipedia for about 10 months. Mostly what I do is work on wrestling articles or other articles; but mostly wrestling. I see that you like William Shakespeare (I hope). If its alright with you I'd like to know a little about yourself. Also tell me all you want to learn at my talk page and I will do the best I can. Happy Editing! Your friend, --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:48, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, it seems to me that you want to get the job done. And I admire that. If you'd like I would be glad to help you citing the sources. Why I'd pick you? Well, because I was cruising around and I came to your page and I saw that you were a very interested editor. If that helps. But again, if you need anything, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:12, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

I will. Just in case if I'm not in reach this would help you on how to Cite sources. Are there any other sources that you can find? Just asking. I'm so glad I know another Coldplay fan. What's your favorite song? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:14, 04 September 2007 (UTC)

Talking about a topic and replying your opinion. Here you can learn more about: Indenting and Bullets. Hope that answers your question. Forgot to ask you, is the Elizabeth Keckly article the way you wanted it to be? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

So are you having any problems? Or have you been finding your way through Wikipedia? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:57, 03 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you firing me? No, the only reason I asked is because I've seen your contributions and it seems that you're improving. I'm not making it seem that I don't care. I have been busy, I'll admit to that. But, if there's anything that you're finding hard to do, please don't hesitate to ask. If not, then I think it's time that I graduate you. But, before I do, I need to know if there's something your having problems with. Again, I don't want you to go on that I don't have an interest. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:07, 04 October 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations. You have now graduated from the adoption program.

This user has graduated from the adoption program by Zerorules677! Kudos!

<---(make sure to add this to your userpage). It was a pleasure of meeting you and hope you stick to Wikipedia. Would you be kind to sign my autograph book? Oh, I've been meaning to give you this:

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For taking the time and kindess of welcoming new users to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. And, Happy Editing. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:13, 04 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

Thanks for signing. I really appreciate it. Heads up, I fixed your Barnstar. I'll talk to you later and happy editing. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:02, 07 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup templates

Just to let you know that most cleanup templates, like "unreferenced", "fact", "cleanup"etc., are best not "subst"ed. See WP:SUBST for more details. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 16:18 23 October 2007 (GMT).

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for joining the Literature project. Hopefully we can do some real good in this area. Wrad 01:15, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Long time no see

I agree. Its been quite sometime. What have you been up to? And I hope your having an easy time here on Wikipedia. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

 ThinkBlue  has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

That's good. You're improving your skills here. Welcoming users is another form of way of helping others, keep up the good work. As for me, I've been active with the wrestling project, joined the Saw project (the film series) and have been warning users of their vandalism. Listen, if there's anything thing you need, don't hesitate to ask me or anyone. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tempest

I see you're editing The Tempest. Can we agree that I won't touch anything above the "Performance History" heading and you don't touch anything below it (except "sources", of course) for the next hour or so, to avoid edit conficts? AndyJones (talk) 15:35, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks. AndyJones (talk) 15:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Signature

Happy 2008. :) I copied this signature from a member of WikiProject Professional wrestling ---> Bardofcornish. Feel free to fix the signature anyway you'd like. For colors see Web colors, if you'd like to use it. Or you can go here and request the signature of your dreams. If you need any help, you know the deal. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Will you be using it? Or..... --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh. If you'd like, I can try to fix your userboxes or get help. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Writing for the Signpost

Hello. You expressed interest in writing for the Wikipedia Signpost (sorry for the delay in responding). I'm sending this message to everyone who commented, so if you have any questions I haven't answered, please feel free to ask me, and I'll try to respond to specific questions.

Essentially, what I'm looking for is writers who can step in and write on subjects that are newsworthy from week-to-week. The content of the stories obviously varies each week depending on what's happening; this is discussed below.

There are three major parts to writing an article:

1. Choosing a topic
2. Writing the article
3. Submitting the article

[edit] Part 1: Choosing a topic

As said above, topics will vary from week-to-week. For this week, these particular issues may be newsworthy:

• Bureaucratship candidacies — There are a lot of bureaucratship candidacies this week, for the first time in about six or seven months. I'm personally covering this one for next week, but this is a good example of what might be newsworthy.
• Encyclopedia of Life — This encyclopedia of species has been getting some press, and relates somewhat to Wikimedia project Wikispecies.
• Hidden categories — For those technically inclined, this is a new feature that has some interesting implications.

For more ideas, and for ideas in the future, check the tip-line -- there are usually some good ideas there.

Once you've decided on a topic, make sure to sign up for it in the newsroom, under "Special stories", so that users aren't duplicating each others' work (though multiple writers are certainly free to work together on a story).

[edit] Part 2: Writing the article

Now, you've decided on a topic and signed up for it. To write it, create a subpage in your userspace. For my story this week on the bureaucratship candidacies, for example, I'll create it at User:Ral315/Bureaucratship candidacies. The name isn't a big deal, of course -- I'll change it if necessary.

Formatting the story isn't important; for your first article, you should mainly focus on writing a good story, and I'll take care of the formatting when we publish. Try to write it in a newspaper-like tone, avoiding personal comments and opinions in favor of straight-forward facts. The size of an article varies based on what the story is, but a good minimum goal for most stories is two-to-three good paragraphs. Longer articles are even better, so long as they're well-written.

[edit] Part 3: Submitting the article

Now, all you have to do is post a link to the article in the newsroom, where you signed up for it earlier. That's it! You're done!

Again, if you have any questions at all, please contact me, and I'll try to respond as soon as possible.

Thanks for your interest in writing for the Signpost. Ral315 (talk) 03:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
