Further participation
Here are a few ways you could help The Wikipedia Library effectively leverage this partnership:
- Add {{Wikipedia:De Gruyter/Userbox}} to your user boxes if you have access to this database. This helps us share our project with other experienced users.
- TWL is interested in having guest bloggers. Guest blogging gives the opportunity for both The Wikipedia Library and De Gruyter to profile our partnership, and it gives the guest bloggers a new platform to share their editing experience with others (which is good for the Wikimedia community).
Applications
- Add yourself at the bottom of the list with a line starting with #USERNAME (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) followed by an explanation of why you believe the access would be beneficial to you. It is a good idea to include in your application text: your depth of experience with Wikipedia and other WM projects, your editing areas benefited by access, and examples of your commitment to content creation.
