User talk:Wyzer17

Joy, would it be possible for you in your role as a member of the Welcoming Committee to offer contributors some guidance about the use of Copyright site material; British History Online is a site claiming copyright which moderators have objected to. See Cromwell, Nottinghamshire for an example of a time consuming series of edits needed to restore image captions and remove copyright material. I have asked the contributor responsible if they can rework some of their edits and their user talk page contains some examples of Nottinghamshire pages which have been corrected for them to work on. The work involved in re-editing allows the Nottinghamshire team and others to add appropriate content but it does deflect us from planned work for the county. Thank you for your help in supporting the contributor concerned. Royalsarah

WELCOME!!!! to the    " WELCOMING  COMMITTEE "

Hi Joy,

Much thanks to you, each of you, who have spent time in the Wiki with our authors and editors and all else that you do. It has helped the Wiki to grow. The Research Wiki is in its first years but it is growing and becoming a wonderful tool that helps people find answers and costs only in effort to search on their part. We want to improve the process for Welcoming new authors and editors in the Wiki. I want to make each member of the committee aware of some improvements coming in June: • We will have one Welcome Message Template designed to be more individualized. We hope that you will use this new welcome message. Steve Cottrell will be helping us with this. • Please read more carefully what the contributor or editor has put on the page. The current steps listed for reviewing the contributions are good to follow. • Avoid adding the welcome message before following the steps outlined. • Additional items will be added in June to help the committee members know how to review the articles authored and edited by our wiki users. .• The "question template" will stay the same.

Dawne

Please put a welcome to the Wiki to Brennejb., Thank-you Sandralpond 15:57, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
