• Simple English Wikiquote has only a few pages so far, but Shakespeare is a good example.

Help put in interwikis: links between similar articles in different languages. One tool for doing this is: Flacus' Interwiki Link Checker . It's a fun and convenient way to quickly help add many interwikis. You choose two languages, and it shows you pairs of pages with the same name on two different language Wikipedias. You click "yes" or "no" to indicate whether they're about the same subject or not. You can go through many pages quickly. After a small number of people (3) agree that two pages are about the same subject, a bot puts an interwiki link between them.

Translation in progress: Safavid art fr:Art safavide

A userpage worth reading: User:Wetman

Pages I'm involved in editing or have been involved in editing include: AIDS | Shock wave | Talk:Birth control | Eicosanoid | Canada's Food Guide | Essential nutrient | Hellenistic art(translation) Derveni krater(translation) | Pain and nociception; Links among nutrition articles; disambiguation; some Statistics pages; some corporal punishment pages

My current talk page editing practice: I normally indent one space more than the previous comment, except that if that would lead to more than seven colons, I begin again at the margin. (How many indents do others normally do before outdenting?) I normally place comments at the bottom of the section rather than between paragraphs of others' comments, ever since user AKAF told me that the user prefers as a writer to intersperse but prefers as a reader to see new comments at the bottom.

Ik kan enkel een klein beetje Nederlands spreken, tussen 0 en 1. Ich kann mehr Deutsch sprechen als Nederlands, zwischen 1 und 2. I have access to TERMIUM, an extensive online French/English/Spanish phrase dictionary. More precise Babel might be en|fr-3|la-1.5|de-1.5|nl-0.5|grc-0.5.

Sorry if I forget to write an edit summary before clicking Save Changes. (I just discovered "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on user preferences -- didn't work though? Maybe it doesn't prompt when you're editing your user page?) I think Wikipedia is great. I'm just learning how it works. Coppertwig 17:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
