User talk:Michael Hopcroft

Welcome!

Hi Michael Hopcroft, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia.

Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images.

How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status.

Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.

Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.

Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.

Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.

Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Articles

Michael,

1) I think having an article for Dwight Jaynes is a big stretch.

2) How about an article on Mike Rich?

Roleplaying Articles

Hi, Michael. I followed your suggestion and merged HERO System into Hero System (thought about merging the other way around, but saw most Wikipedia articles linked to the latter). I also touched a few related articles Generic Systems, Justice Inc., ...) You did great work. Please forgive, or, better, feel free to correct, any mistakes I made during the merge.

Card Captor Sakura

Let me know if you write or find any themes from this anime. I'm looking for those themes, and would like to find a site where they are published. For example, the theme of combining unlike elements to work together (wind and water to beat fire), west and east energies to make the clow cards, etc... --Charizardpal 16:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mark C. MacKinnon

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Mark C. MacKinnon, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Azumanga Daioh Good Article Reassessment

As a major contributor to Azumanga Daioh, I thought you'd want to know that that article is currently under going a Good Article Reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps. The article currently fails the good article criteria, as detailed at Talk:Azumanga Daioh/GA1. Its reassessment is on hold for seven days to allow time for the issues to be addressed. Thanks. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
