Help
edit{{Helpme}}
I'm a newby, and I have two immediate projects in mind:
- Filling out Ina Fried's bio page, as part of the rescue process.
- Creating a living person bio page for Pam Spaulding (of Pam's House Blend).
My particular interests at Wikipedia are with LGBT people and issues; transgender people and issues being of particular interest to me as I'm transgender. Directing me to apporpriate resources for page templates and guidelines (ones that haven't been linked to by Benjiboi in his message), as well as to other useful pages with content tips and such would be greatly appreciated.
- What exactly are you looking for? There's a LGBT WikiProject you can join if you're interested in helping out there. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- In addition you may want to see how other websites like Rotten Tomatoes are treated. All articles are subject to basic notability and verifiability guidelines. So independent sources that show they are notable are needed. -- Banjeboi 01:32, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
