=== [[Korean War]] ===
==Welcome!==
I have been editing this article for a few days. I ran down through the article and fixed any grammer mistakes I could find. I would appreciate any suggestions on what to do and how I can really improve it further. Thanks a lot. [[User:Mr. Killigan|Mr. Killigan]] 06:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

'''''Hi Devil Master''''', and a '''[[Wikipedia:Welcome%2C_newcomers|warm welcome to Wikipedia]]!''' I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! '''[[WP:BB|Be Bold]]'''! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
There are a number of areas to work on, at this point; keep in mind, though, that this is a very high-profile article, so you should be careful to move slowly and carefully to avoid getting entangled in any editorial conflicts here.
<blockquote><table width="400"><tr><td>
* <s>The article is, in my opinion, simply too long; we're looking at 72K (~12,000 words) of prose. The "Legacy" section, in particular, is ripe for splitting out into a separate [[Legacy of the Korean War]] article, with a much shorter summary left in the main one.</s>
<ul style="font-size:85%;padding:.3em 0 .3em 25px;margin:0">
* <s>"Korean War (1950 – 1953)" should really be something like "Course of the war"; you probably don't want to repeat the article title as a section heading.</s>
<li> '''[[Wikipedia:Tutorial|Editing tutorial]]''', learn to have fun with Wikipedia.</li>
* The citations need cleanup; at a minimum, all of the embedded external links should be converted to footnotes. There are also a number of "citation needed" tags floating around. Beyond that, more thorough citation would be appropriate throughout the article; see [[WP:MILHIST#CITE]] for some guidelines.
<li> '''[[Wikipedia:Picture tutorial|Picture tutorial]]''', instructions on uploading images.</li>
* <s>The "Depictions" section should be turned into prose, rather than a laundry list of films; see also [[WP:MILHIST#POP]].</s>
<li> '''[[Wikipedia:How to write a great article|How to write a great article]]''', to make it an featured article status.</li>
* <s>The "Names" section, as it's presently constituted, would work much better as a narrow sidebar; it's of some interest, but I doubt there's enough material to sustain a separate section.</s>
<li> '''[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]''', how articles should be written.</li>
* <s>The "See also" section should be eliminated. If something isn't worth linking from the text, it's generally not worth linking at all. </s>
</td></tr></table></blockquote>
* <s>The rump "Bibliography" section should be removed as well.</s>
* The "External links" section could use trimming.
Hope that helps! [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] 04:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)<s>cool</s>

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some '''[[Template:Opentask|open tasks]]''' that you may want to help out :
<blockquote><table width="400"><tr><td>
[[Image:Evolution-tasks.png|right]]
<ul style="font-size:85%;padding:.3em 0 .3em 25px;margin:0">
<li>'''[[WP:RC|RC Patrol]]''' - Keeping a lookout for [[WP:DWV|vandalism]].</li>
<li> '''[[WP:CU|Cleanup]]''' - Help make unreadable articles readable.</li>
<li> '''[[WP:RA|Requests]]''' - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.</li>
<li> '''[[WP:DA|Merge]]''' - Combining duplicate articles into one.</li>
<li> '''[[WP:WikiProject|Wikiprojects]]''' - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!</li>
</td></tr></table></blockquote>
Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on '''[[WP:TP|talk pages]]''', simply type four tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my '''[[User_talk:Mailer_diablo|talk page]]'''. Once again, welcome! =)

== Your username ==
To Wikipedians, your username may sound malicious hence the devil in it. One time, I had a nickname called "GoofyGuy", and other Wikipedians though I did malicious vandalism on Wikipedia. You could mask your username with a nickname. I suggest you nickname yourself "Clown master". --[[User:SuperDude115|SuperDude]] 06:32, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
*If Clown master is too malicious, maybe you could try "stunt master". --[[User:SuperDude115|SuperDude]] 15:20, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
==Please help me==
Can you please help me with the [[Power Glove]] article? I see in the history that you made substantial contributions, and it needs to be cleaned up and properly referenced. The Power Glove is an important peripheral device, and could possible become a featured article, but it needs much work by interested editors.
