User:Covington/sandbox

This is my sandbox. Here I will test out things. Some of what I'm making here will be works in making.

Please no vandalism. On the other hand, if you see something that I goofed on, feel free to help me with it.

images and formatting coming soon

On May 2006, I contracted carpal tunnel syndrome and I was out of typing for three months. I'm still cleaning up from the Central NY downpour/flood, and I an learning how to type (dvorak this time) all over again.

Although some Wikipedians have remembered me, others treated me as if I disappeared. This moves me to share these Wikicards with the community. Give them to fellow editors who have fallen on bad times.

to an editor who left because of stress "Thank you for editing at Wikipedia. Your contributions will not be forgotten."

to an editor who has been sick "Feel better soon. You are greatly missed."

to a new editor who is stressed from learning about Wikipedia "Keep on trying. You can do it."

to a helpful editor "Thank you for your help."

to a kind editor "Thank you for your kind words."

The Wikipedia logo is just a placeholder. Better images are coming soon.

My [real] name is Covington and I have been on Wikipedia since 17 Mar 2006. I still consider myself a new Wikipedian, so if you have any comments about how I can improve what I am doing, please post on my talk page.

I wear many hats at Wikipedia. I am a counsillor at Community Justice and a maintenance person at the Article Improvement Drive.

My personal motto is non videri sed esse (not seeming, but being) and my familial motto is non sufficit orbis (the world is inadequate). My familial symbol is the white dove.

Regardless of what some of my good friends say, I am not James Bond. Or Anakin Skywalker, or Aragorn, or even Sailor Moon. Not even close.

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Classical Greece and Rome. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

This project is still in the working, so let us know what you think. (^'-')^ Covington 21:44, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

We at WikiProject on Classical Greece and Rome will work together to reach the following goals.

Goals

• increase the exposure of Classics articles on Wikipedia
• turn every article in the Ancient Greece stubs, Ancient Rome stubs, Ancient Roman stubs and Ancient Greek stubs categories into full-fledged articles
• ensure that every Classics article on Wikipedia is well written, comprehensive, factually accurate, neutral, and stable
• support other groups who are seeking to improve the same goals

Check out these other projects that are related to ours. Feel free to join some of them and help out.

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

• Example article: User:Example

• /General
• /Strategy

• {{subst:template}}
• e.g.{{Infobox Classical Greece and Rome}}

{{Infobox Classical Greece and Rome }}

• e.g. {{Classical Greece and Rome-stub}}
• {{Classical Greece and Rome-stub}}
  • and the associated stub category Category:Classical Greece and Rome stubs

• {{template}}

Template:TemplateClassical Greece and Rome

• Category:Classical Greece and Rome

• Classical Greece and Rome

• Wikipedia:Classical Greece and Rome
• meta:Classical Greece and Rome

Please feel free to list your new Classical Greece and Rome-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYN has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article.
