  • Captain-tucker, just a brief -- but HUGE -- thank you for your message and all the helpful links you posted here (as well as those posted for general consumption in the links section of your own talk page). This should be more than enough reference for me to get started! ;)

Shakespeare

edit

Hi Themis-Athena,

I saw your post on the WikiProject Elizabethan Theatre page and noticed you list you interests as mainly Shakespeare. You may be interested to know that there is a WikiProject Shakespeare too, whose focus is somewhat narrower than Elizabethan theatre. Do please feel free to join up! Right now we're working on improving The Tempest to Good Article quality, and will probably follow that with Macbeth. Hamlet was our first play-related Featured Article, so it's in fairly good shape already, but there are plenty of sub-articles of Hamlet that could use some work (Characters in Hamlet, Sources of Hamlet, Critical approaches to Hamlet, Literary influence of Hamlet, Hamlet in performance, Hamlet on screen, References to Hamlet) if that's your main area of interest. The project progresses a bit in fits and starts—often with a frenzy of activity when it's time for a Featured Article drive and then long lulls between them—so there's no shortage of articles to work on. Anyway, just wanted to let you know the project exists. Welcome to Wikipedia! --Xover (talk) 23:35, 15 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • Doug, just a brief message to let you know I moved this discussion to User:Doug/Mentorship/Themis-Athena -- I hope that is alright with you. That way, we can keep the discussion in one place from the start!

Welcome to WikiProject Germany

edit
 

Welcome, Themis-Athena, to the WikiProject Germany! Please direct any questions about the project to its talk page. If you create new articles on Germany-related topics, please list them at our announcement page and tag their talk page with our project template {{WikiProject Germany}}. A few features that you might find helpful:

  • The project's Navigation box points to most of the pages in the project that might be of use to you.
  • Most of the important discussions related to the project take place on the project's main talk page; you may find it useful to watchlist it.
  • We've developed a number of guidelines for names, titles, and other things to standardize our articles and make interlinking easier that you may find useful.

Here are some tasks you can do. Please remove completed tasks from the list.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of the more experienced members of the project, and we'll be very happy to help you. Again, welcome, and thank you for joining this project! Agathoclea (talk) 22:18, 26 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

edit

Hi Themis-Athena,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

  • Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
  • It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
  • Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.
  • I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.
2. If you're a law student,
(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)
3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
