Grandparent

I am curious as to why you deleted the Grandparent revision to the Human Resources article.

• Not only was the revision ill-formatted, but it cited no reliable sources. That would seem to indicate why it was reverted. —C.Fred (talk) 22:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Starting a new article

What's the subject for the article, and what info do you have on it so far?

Wikipedia:Your first article has full instructions for creating an article. If you aren't sure that the subject is sufficiently notable for an article, or you want to get the formatting down pat before you create the article in article space, you may want to create it in user space first. You may find it useful to have a page like User:Grandparent/Sandbox to experiment in; I have a similar page myself.

So, check out the instructions on creating an article, build it in user space if you don't have much, or if you think you have several sources that make a good claim of notability, go ahead and create the article. Any questions along the way, feel free to ask.

Happy editing! —C.Fred (talk) 16:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Senior Wikipedians

WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.

1. Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.
2. Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.
3. Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.

Suggested goals for this project:

1. To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
2. To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
3. To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
4. To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
5. To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
6. To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
7. To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
