Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, Cfeyrer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Spoken version of Dr. Who

I noticed your comment darn, Dr Who is taken :(. Sadly, it probably isn't taken because Throup seems to have gone missing after a misguided deletion of one of his recordings. -SCEhard T 01:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC) Thanks but now that I think of it a British person would be more appropriate. I'm going to start working on World War I instead. --Cfeyrer 18:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What ought to link here?

I don't quite get the concept, since if something is linked, it should just be linked...and if the link is deemed inappropriate it will either be removed or moved to discussion...how is what ought to link here different than a discussion page indicating such items? --Cfeyrer 05:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When you fix a links which is often to the wrong page, a redirect, or a disambiguation page you often face this situation where you would like to click on "what links here" then walk through each of those links and either fix it one way, or possibly another, or just leave it alone based on the context. I gave decades vs centuries as an example. Another one I personally have run across is foot the body part vs Foot (unit of length) the measurement. In any given article you might expect foot or feet to go to the right place, but it depends on which context you are in which seems more natural and many mistakes are made. So what I am asking for is some kind of bulk editing capability.

It has been a while since I wrote that. My first reaction was for something related that I would like. "What could link here". For this there are two cases.

You read a page and see something you would like to link. Then you realize there is no article yet for that topic. So you make an article. Then what is the next question? "Hmm. What ought to link here?" So you would like to search for pages with certain words and decide based on the context if it is appropriate to set up the link or not.
The next example is for a page that already exists but often is under-linked to. I think (and I realize there are those that disagree on this point) that many year pages are examples of this. But I suspect it is widespread as topic areas develop more maturaity, depth and breadth.

Audacity

You were listed as a volunteer to help with spoken articles. I've downloaded Audacity, but I'm having a little trouble. I want to record individual sections and save them as files, but I can't figure out how to name the files, and most importantly, how to merge into 1 file to upload to wikipedia. Any ideas?

Nomination of Ew-too for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ew-too is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ew-too until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EternalFlare (talk • contribs) 20:07, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Invite to Join WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia

Hi Cfeyrer! I am Galendalia (talk · contribs) and I am reviving the WikiProject for Spoken Wikipedia. I noticed that you signed up at some point to be a participant and as I am reviving this project, one of my tasks is to get the participant list in order. Would you please go to the Participants List and add your name and language(s) you speak? If you are already there and do not want to be, please remove yourself. If you want to remain, please put remain next to your name. If I do not see anything, I will move you to the inactive participant list. I am putting a timeline of 7 days on this action to help keep things moving along. It would also be great if you would be willing to join the task force for Pronunciation that would be awesome, as there are troublesome words we run into.

Thank you for considering joining us. If you decide to leave, I will be sad to see you leave as so many people have done a great job on the recordings and any work you have done makes a significant difference.
