User talk:Mendor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hello, Mendor. Welcome to Wikipedia.
A few tips for you to start going. (I'll send more if I see that I can help you :-)
- Just edit stuff off the cuff for a while. We like that fine!
- When you have time, check out Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers + the links in there.
- You can sign your stuff on talk pages with ~~~~ It will convert to your username + the time. "anon" is fine too.
- If puzzled, put a question on Wikipedia:Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's a very general question.
- Most of all, have fun but take our work seriously!

I thought you'd enjoy the Wikimedia Babel "template" on my talk page -- it was inspired by yours. OtherDave 17:20, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Came across your userpage while browsing wiki. I was amazed to see that we shared a few userboxes! (Saurabhb 20:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Pages listed on Categories for deletion
Discussion on CFD - proposal to merge all subcats of Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Scottish constituencies up into the main cat. Relevant categories which would be deleted are:
-
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Aberdeen constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Dundee constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Edinburgh constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Fife constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Glasgow constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Highland constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Orkney and Shetland
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Paisley constituencies
- Cat:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament from Stirling constituencies
I think that this is a rather important discussion for editors interested in Scotland-related articles, especially Scottish politics and Scottish biographical articles (particularly local history). Please have a read and ponder, and contribute to the debate if you like. Thanks. --Mais oui! 17:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- It would also be relevant in this context to consider the discussions in the parent category for the UK parliament: Category talk:British MPs. I find it regrettable that Mais oui! has engaged in a restructuring of that category without entering into the discussions there. --BrownHairedGirl 17:56, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

- Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_23#Category:Members_of_the_United_Kingdom_Parliament_from_Scottish_constituencies is just about to close. I would really appreciate your contribution, because this debate needs some serious input. --Mais oui! 09:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland
- Pre-script: we are currently undergoing peer review, see: Wikipedia:Peer review/Scotland.
I am beginning to think that the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board is not the best vehicle for pushing up the quality of the Scotland article (we ought to try to get it to WP:FA, in order to get into Wikipedia:Version 0.5, or, failing that, Wikipedia:Version 1.0), and the other key Scottish articles. It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that we really ought to start up the long-mooted WikiProject Scotland.
Most of the stuff at the notice board (at least on the bottom half) is actually WikiProject material anyway, and the Talk page is really being used as a WikiProject talk already! The notice board should be just that: for bunging up brief notices and signposts. I am thinking of launching a Wikiproject and correspondingly radically clearing out, and chopping down, the noticeboard (a re-launch if you like). The Scotland Portal concept is fine (but currently mediocre/undynamic content), but in stasis: it needs a good kick up the jacksie.
For comparison, have a look at:
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Norway
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia
- Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Peru
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Hong Kong
- etc.
And, if you are at a loose end, have a look at:
- Wikipedia:Version 0.5 Nominations
- Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Nominations
- Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/WPPlaces
- Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Medieval Scotland articles by quality
- Wikipedia:WikiProject
- Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices
Thoughts? Please express them here. --Mais oui! 18:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland
Following a successful period of consultation WikiProject Scotland has now been launched. As a participant in the Scottish Wikipedians' notice board I wonder if you may be interested in this new endeavour too? If so, please sign-up here. The WikiProject will be replacing some of the functions of the notice board, especially those in the lower half.
While I am here, please also have a look at the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Scotland and give it a "Watch". It was started up by User:Visviva a few days ago, after long being mooted at the notice board, and effectively replaces all the AfD listings at the notice board. Being a transclusion of all the on-going discussions it is a much more useful tool.
Even if you do not want to spend too much time on the WikiProject, please give it a "Watch" and feel free to contribute to Talk page discussions: the more contributors the merrier.
All the best. --Mais oui! 10:48, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
