Welcome
Self-awards & Year pages
Hey, Dirk Bastion. I'm sorry we haven't had the opportunity to talk before. You've been here 7 months and have made 297 unique edits in that time. So, first off, I'll start your awards board (on your user page), recognizing your Time In Service and Edit Count awards. When you get 300 edits, please remember to upgrade your Edit Award and on April 22nd (or later), do the same for your nine-month service ribbon.
Year pages: I really appreciate anyone seeking to upgrade the value of these special pages. Please review the Year Pages policy. The biggest thing I think needs to be recognized is that the entries on year pages point to one article, where the reader can learn more on the subject presented for that year. For example, if the line item is about Sir Ewen Cameron, then the wikilink on that entry should point to an existing article. That article should also directly reference that year (and date, if provided). In this case, Sir Cameron should not be shown on any year pages, since no article exists to support that entry.
If you have any questions after reading that policy, please ask me. Thanks! --Revanche (talk|contribs) 19:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
