Archiving old personal talk posts

Could you please advise how I would archive old talk posts on my own talk page? (some of my posts are now four years old!) Many thanks! EMP (talk) 00:55, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to the Teahouse! You can cut and paste the old discussions into a subpage, such as User talk:EMP/Archive 1. (You can add {{talk archive}} to the top and bottom of the archive page as a reminder not to edit the page.) It's a good idea to let people know that archives exist, so add {{archives|auto=short|search=yes}} to the top of your main talk page. (This code also gives people a convenient search box to look up old discussions.) These instructions are from Help:Archiving a talk page. See more detailed instructions there. Hope this helps! --Anon126 (talk - contribs) 01:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Article writing/content correction project?

I'm taking part in the guild of copy editors' backlog drive and one of the articles I'm copy editing needs CONTENT editing/fact checking/content addition. What wiki project/team (like guild of copy editors or typo team) should I tag it to for content editing? I know nothing about the topic. Page is Vladimir Kvachkov if anyone here wants to have at it.

Hey Peeteygirl, thanks for your question. One of the many WikiProjects listed on the talk page of the article here would be appropriate to contract. WikiProject Russia or WikiProject Military History are your best bets, IMO. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 01:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

English Grammar Related Questions

Hi,

I have a grammar related question. Is it OK to ask it here, or should I do it somewhere else? Is there a help desk specifically for English grammar questions? Thanks. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, welcome the Teahouse! Unfortunately, the Teahouse is for questions about Wikipedia itself. The reference desk can help you out with your grammar question. --Anon126 (talk - contribs) 00:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
