Revision as of 01:53, 29 November 2005
Welcome!
Hi JackyR! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Misplaced Pages community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Misplaced Pages page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:
If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:
Happy editing!
I also noticed one of the articles you edited was Palapye (and nice expansion of that, by the way!). As you may have noticed, Misplaced Pages is always in need of more Africa editors. I don't know if this is a continued area of interest for you, but if it is, here's some other links that you may want to check out:
- Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Countering systemic bias open tasks
- Portal:Africa
- Misplaced Pages:List of missing Africa topics
- Misplaced Pages:African Collaboration of the Fortnight
Good luck, and happy editing! If you ever have any questions, feel free to leave a note on my talk page; lots of folks helped me when I first got here and I'm always glad to pay it forward! --Dvyost 20:52, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- You're welcome indeed--did you know that out of nearly two hundred welcomes that I've left, you're the first to ever thank me? Anyway, bit by bit is definitely the wiki way--I rarely tackle the "biggies" myself, but (un)luckily our Africa coverage is so sparse that even Googling a term from Misplaced Pages:List of missing Africa topics can sometimes allow you to fill in a substub. Another approach is to grab a book or two on the history of one country (in your case, Botswana?) and put together a web of linked articles--it gets easier and easier to fill in as you link it with what you've already put up, and then you can tackle a "biggie" article like History of Botswana just by collating.
- Just saw your expansion at Serowe pop up on my Watchlist--keep up the good work! Best, --Dvyost 02:34, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. — Instantnood 18:16, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
linking to subheads
Hey Jacky,
Good to hear from you again! That's actually quite a good question, and one I'm not sure of the answer to even after reviewing the MoS. My instinct is to avoid linking to subheads if possible--while article moves have redirects put in place, the subheads are often reworked, which would then render your link useless. On the other hand, while linking only to the main article may require your reader to poke around a bit, the subheads in articles are usually listed right at the top, making it easy enough to find even if it's not directly linked.
Of course, this is only my personal guess, so don't mistake it for any standing policy. Do you have a specific article/subhead in mind? Sorry I can't be more help--maybe next time. =)
