Stan's Introduction

Hi Stan! -- Your Introduction is up on a page! Go to the Main Page to find a link to it! Shollingsworth 13:17, 14 January 2011 (PST)

Hi Stan! Good to see you editing! I just finished (for now) my article on simple editing. Shollingsworth 15:13, 14 January 2011 (PST)

Something I'd like to start on immediately

I have a request I'd like to start with - a "data" one as opposed to anything at all controversial. I'd like to make a list of - literally - every NPO in Philadelphia (and later the surrounding areas) and then invite each one to contribute to a page on itself.

Is this something I have to ask the Content or Publicity sub-groups' permission to do? Maybe have Publicity send out the e-mails once I get the list built? Shollingsworth 11:56, 15 January 2011 (PST)

Ben's page

Ben G. is now at User talk:BenGreenberg. Shollingsworth 14:20, 15 January 2011 (PST)

Our first template

I made a template and tested it - test successful. Now putting {{help me}} in an article {preferably at the top) will cause that article to be listed in [[Category:Help me]] for administrators to respond to. I'll leave an article with a {{help me}} in it as an example. Shollingsworth 18:05, 15 January 2011 (PST)

Holding places

Hi Stan -- Let me show you a new trick.

You can make "holding places" for articles you're working on by typing in user:Stan/filename and choosing to Edit it.

I created User:Stan/holding for you. You can have any number of these "holding places" of any legitimate name.

By the way - it was pretty bright of you to pick up on my <nowiki> trick!

Another thing you can do is to leave "hidden" notes in an article by typing <!-- text --> as here Shollingsworth 00:08, 16 January 2011 (PST)

Another useful tool is the "Redirect". Make a new page of any name (try using Xyz) and on that page type in #REDIRECT [[Block captain]] and save it. Then type in Xyz in the Search box. You'll be jumped to Block captain. Now type in NTR into the Search box. Shollingsworth 00:13, 16 January 2011 (PST)

The new text editor

Hi Stan,

The new text editor is pretty cool!

By the way - there's a "wikitext" button in the upper left corner so that we can switch back and forth between WYSIWYG and Wikitext views -- all our old tricks still work.

In particular, I can still enter {{help me}} and get a message in Category:Help me  SteveH 18:18, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Two new articles are up today, third and possibly more to come

Hi Stan,

I put in the Help Me description under Help - good call!

I just added two pages that a friend sent in. Lisa is writing her page. I've asked two other people to see what they can do. I'm aiming to have a wide variety of things for the Content sub-group to look over and discuss.

This is work, but if we can get really launched next week it will all have been worth it. SteveH 12:12, 23 January 2011 (EST)

UWSEPA event

Hi Stan -- I saw your Help Me and am working on the page now. SteveH 21:37, 23 January 2011 (EST)

Thank you

Thanks so much for your comments, Stan!  I really appreciate that.  The site is looking really good these days; sending good vibes for your success!  Lisa H.

This meant a lot to Lisa, Stan. Thank you very much. SteveH 23:02, 24 January 2011 (EST)

Page deletion

I had to delete a page just now -- it contained only a very suspicious hyperlink, which was created by someone knowledgeable about wikis. The page had no connections inside Wikidelphia.

The reason I gave was that anyone who knew enough about wikis to create a page like that also knew enough not to create a page like that. SteveH 23:02, 24 January 2011 (EST)

I'm back, finally

Hi, Stan -- I know it's taken me awhile, but I'm finally getting things cleared up at my end. I'm facing long days Tuesday and Wednesday, but should be all caught up after them. I'll be seeing what I can do here tonight and starting Thursday. SteveH 22:21, 7 March 2011 (EST)
