Welcome to Wikipedia, Richard

• Don't be afraid to edit articles - be bold
• If you have any problems, visit the help page, ask me via my talk page or when you see me, or contact your local Wikipedia administrator.
• Why not start right now. If you're not sure where to go, try searching, browsing, or just jump straight in at a random page.

Also, if you look towards the top of your page, you will find that you can view a page's discussion or edit history, edit it or add it to your watchlist, or look at your user page, talk page, preferences, watchlist of contributions list.

Think!

Please think before editing as you have put some irrelevant information in William Temple and Doctor Who in the past 2 days. (And in William Temple it didn't even make sense).

Links

You don't need to put
[[page to link to|name that viewer sees]]
if both are the same: just put one of them. --Jawr256 10:54, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

<br>

Evon though you start a new line on the edit page, it doesn't mean that an new line has been started on the article. To make the article start a new line, put <br> at the end of the lie before the line break (see Monkey Business (album) differences) --Jawr256 09:20, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

Selected articles on Portal:F1

Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:34, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
