Grammar changes[change source]
Just FYI, I further simplified some changes you made to Gensac, Gironde and Fountain of Youth. Note especially the last sentence in Fountain of Youth. You had changed it from active voice to passive voice. Passive voice is simpler and preferred. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:06, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- I appreciate it. I'm not really in a position to make big changes just tonight, but I plan to come back and finish what I started. Cheers! The Illusive Man (talk) 01:11, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Welcome[change source]
Hello! I am assuming you have come over from the English Wikipedia, so you are probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few links to help you adjust:
- An English Wikipedian's guide
- Writing in Simple English
- Simple talk: our help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
- How to copy from English Wikipedia
- A very incomplete list of our active editors
There is much to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that do not exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you would like to do. Thank you for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need help. @intforce 16:29, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Your RfA[change source]
Before it can begin, you must transclude it at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions, though I would strongly discourage you from running now, as you have very few edits here and stand no chance of passing.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:55, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
