Reference Errors on 8 March

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:31, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Co-op mentor

Hey MLODROB, my name is Jethro, a coordinator at The Co-op. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for making your profile! I want to introduce you to your mentor, Go Phightins!, who can help you with your interest in writing content and learning about Wikipedia. He will be along soon to get things started, but in the meantime, what do you want to accomplish through mentorship? Have you come across some editing topics Wikipedia you wanted to learn more about? In terms of writing, were did you want to start writing an article about a topic you are interested in, or improve an existing article you've come across? Thanks a bunch, I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 18:55, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I want to get used to Wikipedia's rules and culture. I'm not an expert in any subjects, so I might only be good for grunt work. I wanted to make sure that I was approaching and doing edits correctly. I suppose I'll find an answer for the rest as I go. MLODROB (talk) 19:16, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, MLODROB. My name is Ben (Go Phightins! on Wikipedia), and I will be your mentor. I apologize that I did not notice this until now -- I will check in again tomorrow or Thursday, but just so I know, how would you like this mentorship to work? I have compiled some great resources here at my old adoption school (back when we had a slightly different schematic for mentorship), so if you would like to work through some of those lessons, I would be more than happy to help you with that, or if you want to pick and choose some topics or whatever, it is entirely up to you. The fastest place to get a hold of me is by pinging me using {{ping|Go Phightins!}} and making sure to sign that edit with four tildes, as I see you know how to do. Let me know how I can help, and let's dive in! Go Phightins! 03:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC) P.S. Ich spreche ein Bisschen Deutsch (kleine Bisschen).

@Go Phightins!: Thank you very much for the link. I will go through the lessons listed and tell you if I have any questions. As a side thought, where could I be helpful in editing with a lack of skill? I have been looking through the "backup" list, but it looks a little daunting. MLODROB (talk) 05:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What are you interested in doing -- writing/cleaning up/expanding articles, vandalism reversion, or are you not sure? I would recommend you take a look at lesson three in the adoption course linked above before undertaking much vandalism work, just so you can make sure you have the basics under control. Do you have a subject in which you might be interested in editing articles? I can help you find articles in that interest area and work with you to build up article editing skills. Go Phightins! 19:23, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Go Phightins!: So far I've had the most fun with cleaning up/copy editing articles. I've also thought about helping with sharing content from the German Wikipedia to here. I'm more interested in editing geographical articles. A few more of those to do would be nice. Sorry for not being very specific, but I'm blundering my way through figuring things out. MLODROB (talk) 20:08, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, well, we have the [[WP:GEOGRAPHY|Geography WikiProject, which is somewhat active ... they have some articles listed as needing cleanup on the front page, as well as some that need copyedited. We also have the guild of copyeditors, which handles requests for copyedits. No need to apologize; I am here to help you figure things out :-) Go Phightins! 21:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Biratnagar jute mill strike

Hi,Regarding the POV i have made that statement neutral now.I don't have an issue with your edits on grammar or sentence structure but your seem to have edited(erased) some important historical facts that leads to the development .Thank you. AA (talk) 06:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC) I[reply]

A barnstar for you!

You deserve this. AA (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I don't think I can accept it, however. It would devalue the awards other people have gotten for doing more important things. I appreciate the sentiment, though. :) MLODROB (talk) 17:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
