I saw you asked for this interesting page to be proofread on the help desk, so:

  • In the spellchecking section, there is a live spellchecker; (it spellchecks the recent changes) User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool (which you have further down the page)
  • You should link the individual entries in the section "Searching Wikipedia from the internet"
  • I think the signatures section should be expanded to be more understandable (like tell them to tick raw signature and link to WP:SIG)

I understand this page is still under construction but it already looks really helpful, not just for new users. Good job. James086Talk | Contribs 13:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

You may want to consider whether the 'scripts' link should go to Wikipedia:Scripts or Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts (the link you have currently is mostly about IRC scripts; it's quite possible that it's user scripts that you meant). --ais523 13:28, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Done. The Transhumanist   
I saw this page linked on the help desk. I've proofed it (a couple of spelling errors and a bit of punctuation) as requested. I understand it's not finished yet; please leave a note on my talk page if you'd like me to proof it again when you're done. It's very understandable, and looks as if it's going to be really helpful - good job! Squeezeweasel 15:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the help. And yes, I will gladly take you up on your offer of further assistance! The Transhumanist   

Transhumanist, I don't mean to pile on, but I do have a suggestion. Could we perhaps get one of the image/copyright "guru's to submit something that's easy to understand in the virtual classroom? I'm afraid I don't really get it - lot's of images seem to be unacceptable, I can't figure out how to register and image at commons. Thanks for considering it,NinaEliza 01:21, 14 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Such a lesson would mostly point out the problems with the Image department(s) of Wikipedia. It would be better to go in and fix those problems directly than merely write about them. The template used to indicate copyright status of an image creates a lot of confusion, for instance. The Transhumanist
