== Developing your user page - it is easy ==
Wikipedia is a [[megalopolis]] and like in any city, interactions are very important. I recommend that you develop your user page so that people who visit your page may know your interests and share in them. It could be a [[single]] line telling others of not only your name but what you like or a complex page with every single thing that interests you on it. This is a great way of building up work groups that facilitate the sharing of [[expert]] knowledge on articles, talks etc. Happy building!!!

==Become a great editor through your first was erroneous==
Being a member of [[Wikipedia:Welcoming Committee| the welcoming committee on Wikipedia]] I encourage you to help Wikipedia in any way you can to 
increase human knowledge. If you have [[credible]] information about a topic with verifiable [[references]] please feel free to add to that topic. If there is no article on that topic, why not start it, with time others will add to it and it may even make the featured articles list. By doing this, I have been able to make over [[3500]] page edits in both new articles, article improvement etc. Furthermore, I encourage you to aim to be a member of the  autoconfirmed users 
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed_users#Autoconfirmed_users|autocomfirmed]] group as this will greatly improve your Wikipedia 
experience. You can do this by making at least 10 credible edits on Wikipedia and remaining on Wikipedia for four (4) days. Check out this page for tips.[[User:crosstemplejay|<span style="font- weight:bold; color:blue; text-shadow:grey 0.4em 0.4em 0.5em; letter-spacing: 1px; padding: 1px 3px;"> <i>.

==Adding media to  articles_==
[[Media]] files, be it [[images]], [[drawings]] or [[sound]] files are an integral part of Wikipedia's articles. They apart from enriching articles, make them more [[credible]] too. You can add media files to both your new articles as well as once you are [[editing]]. To do so you can search for it on [[wikipedia:commons]] or you can either upload the image if you have it using [[Wikipedia:Upload|this file uploader]] or [[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page| commons uploader]]. Please be informed that you must provide [[accurate]] information about the file being uploaded since they are reviewed and if if is found that the license given to the file is [[false]], it will promptly be deleted.

==Spotting bad edits and vandalism.==
As you age on Wikipedia, one thing you will come across and probably address will the issue of [[bad]] edits or [[vandalism]]. There are several ways of 
spotting them:
*by reviewing articles on your [[watchlist]] regularly and looking for bad edits
*[[verifying]] new changes to pages and articles
If you happen to come across a bad edit you may:
*ask an [[editor]] you trust to review the work for his/her [[inputs]]
*you can [[rollback]] the change if you have credible information that the edit is indeed bad
*request that the necessary change be made on the article's [[talk page]].
Whatever you do, please be very careful about the changes you make, for a [[rule of thumb]], discuss issues you are not sure of first before making changes. [[User:crosstemplejay|<span style="font- weight:bold; color:blue; text-shadow:grey 0.4em 0.4em 0.5em; letter-spacing: 1px; padding: 1px 3px;"> <i>.  Crosstemplejay</i></span>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:crosstemplejay |<span style="color:red;">talk   .</span>]]</small></sup>13:12, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

== Stub templates ==

I see you have added stub notes to a few articles by hand. It's probably better to use [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types|stub templates]], which makes sure they are appropriately categorised. Keep up the good work.

==Your recent edits==
[[Image:Information.svg|25px|link=]] Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk pages]] and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should [[Wikipedia:Signatures|sign your posts]] by typing four [[tilde]]s  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button [[File:Insert-signature.png|link=Wikipedia:How to sign your posts]] located above the edit window.  This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-tilde --> --[[User:SineBot|SineBot]] ([[User talk:SineBot|talk]]) 11:06, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Tashif|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to [[:Monochaetia mali]], you added [[Help:Link|links]] to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see [[WP:Linking|Wikipedia's guideline on links]] to avoid overlinking.

== AFC ==

Nice to see you working at AFC, however I noticed you haven't informed the authors after the article has been reviewed. On the article's review notice there is a link to click to inform the creator, all that needs to be done is to put in the article title. The template takes care of the rest. I am sure the article's author would really appreciate knowing the status of their article.

== Articles for Creation and declines... ==

Hey, I know you're kind of new around WIkipedia, but I noticed some issues with a few of your recent AfC declines and I thought you'd want to know about them.  
*I think when you decline an article at AfC please check to make sure the creator has a Welcome on their talkpage.  When you declined [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Steerpike99 this AfC] the editor hadn't gotten a Welcome yet.  
*Also, you declined this [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Legend_of_Omar&diff=432978066&oldid=432883042 AfC] saying that there were no inline citations.  This in incorrect....there ''were'' inline citations but the references were malformed, as shown by this link to the page at the time you declined it [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Legend_of_Omar&action=edit&oldid=433158244 here].  All the article needed to take care of the inline citations was a 'reflist' (as shown [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Legend_of_Omar&diff=next&oldid=433158244 here]).

== Deletion of 'make mine Milk' ==

Hi Tashif,

Thanks for your welcome and for getting back to me about the 'make mine Milk' article.  

I just wanted to know whether you could help and let me know what I need to add to the article to make it more notable?  Please could you let me know if the following would help:

- Include statistics about results in sales of milk
- Add link to 'make mine Milk' being used as a case study at university
- Wait for another six months to gain more notability

If there is anything else that can be added/ removed, please advise as I am quite new to this! 

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Many thanks for your help.

== Misunderstanding? ==

Hi Tashif,

I'm the main author of the article on Moroccan journalist [[Ahmed Benchemsi]]. I see that you added a "need references" box on top of it, quoting "this article does not cite any references or sources". We might have a misunderstanding here: I counted 38 outside links! The article is filled with references from reliable sources, websites that published either Benchemsi's writings (from his own magazines to world-famous outlets such as Time or The Guardian) or reports/comments on his endeavors (as well published in trustable sources). Am I missing something? 

Best regards,
[[User:Randomeditor38|Randomeditor38]] ([[User talk:Randomeditor38|talk]]) 17:47, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Update: no news from you since 2 days. I undid your editing, but remain ready to discuss it if you still hold unto it for some reason, despite my remarks above.

There is currently a '''significant backlog of {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pending AfC submissions|R}}''' submissions waiting to be reviewed.  These submissions are generally from new editors who have never edited Wikipedia before.  A prompt, constructive review of submissions could significantly editor retention.</P>

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]]. For the Election committee, [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 16:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
