Tip of the day...

Posting on the Wikipedia Community Bulletin Board

The Community bulletin board (aka WP:CBB) is a terrific way to let your newly created Portal, WikiProject, etc., be known to the community, including at the Community Portal. It's also a great way to recruit fellow editors. If you post a notice there, please follow these guidelines:

• Use present tense.
• Bold the main link.
• Keep it short and sweet, news style.
• Use pulldates (one week) by inserting them into a hidden comment like this: <!-- Pulldate: July 3 -->

Or just follow the instructions on the page, which will be visible when you edit it.

You can also submit WikiProject and similar news to the relevant section of the Wikipedia Signpost.

The Jimi Hendrix Memorial Concerts

Hey @Postmud! Thanks so much for contributing to the November drive. I reviewed your change (Special:Diff/1258614805) and wanted to let you know that unfortunately, Discogs is not considered a reliable source (WP:DISCOGS) -- ultimately what needed to happen with that page was a blank and redirect to the The Hamsters page, which I have gone ahead and done. (The only sources I could find for that album were resellers or sites that do use Discogs.) Hope that makes sense! Please let me know if you have any questions and hope you'll continue contributing to the drive. :) Smallangryplanet (talk) 13:29, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
