User talk:Holly~enwikisource

Hello Holly, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.

You'll find an (incomplete) index of our works listed at Works, although for very broad categories like poetry you may wish to look at the categories like Category:Poems instead.

Please take a glance at our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). Most questions and discussions about the community are held at the Scriptorium.

The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page! John Vandenberg (chat) 01:29, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

We would love your help with proofreading Index:Equitation.djvu. Pick any yellow page and verify that the text is the same as appears in the image. If it is, edit the page and click the button down the bottom near the Save button. If you need help, ask Alex via any means you can, or add "" on this page and someone will do their best to try and explain it better. I look forward to your contributions.

Ciao Holly!
Hi Holly! VERY happy to meet you here! Feel free to ask me anything by mail if you like; nevertheless I think that it's useful to give you some introduction to this very unusual environment. One of the most surprising features for the newbie is that an user can change almost anything ... and - this sounds very strange - he can edit too the personal page of another user, and the related Talk page. :-) But, remember to sign your messages into User talk pages; use the second button from right above your edit window, it seems, more or less, a signature. Youll get simply this: --~ . Don't be confused... it is right. It will be exploded into a good signature and into a date.

Far from being "unpolite", to edit the Talk page of another user is the main method to send to that user a message. So, my personal page here is User:Alex brollo, and my talk page is User talk:Alex brollo, just as your main user page is User:Holly and your talk page - this one - is User talk:Holly. As you see, I wrote running links to those pages... you'll learn very soon that there are lots of trick, a real "markup language", to add to the plain text formats and features. There are two ways to learn them:
 * to edit the page and to carefully look at code;
 * to browse help pages and manuals.

Another neat trick is to ask a friend. ;-) And here there are lots of new friends waiting for you.

About Index page: yes, there is a confusing delay in refreshing the page status. You can force the refresh editing the Index page (enter in edit, and save without any change).

Thank you! --Alex brollo 19:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Oooops... I took a look to Index:Equitation.djvu.... and... there nothing more to validate! :-(
 * I'm joking: I'm really HAPPY! Thanks you, and thanks to John and to other wiki users who done such work!
 * And now? Well, there are other horse-related two works pending... let me take a look...
 * Yes they are waiting validation ... almost no page has been validated.


 * Index:Notes on equitation and horse training.djvu
 * Index:The Modern Art of Taming Wild Horses.djvu
 * So, if you like .... ;-) --Alex brollo 19:10, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Holly. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Holly~enwikisource that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
