edit Tool

Urielpunk,

Just got your message. Welcome to AboutUs. I think the "tool" you mention in the message is the "leave me a message" link that I'm using (I guess). Anyway, I just did a minor fix to it -- it need to be on your "talk" page so you can get the little red "you've got a message" link that you probably are seeing right now with this message. Let us know if you need any help with the wiki. -- TakKendrick | Talk

edit AddCategory

Hello, I added a couple of categories on your page, it might be jumping the start line, but it does look like you are on your way! Let me know what you think. Best, MarkDilley

P.S. have you considered using your name here? Just a thought. :-)

Hi Uriel, good to know this is your real first name :-) I am glad you are here and you can assume that my ability to speak in your native tongue is nil :-) Let me know how I can help. One of the things I like to do when someone wants to, is to talk on the phone or Skype. Best, MarkDilley

edit Help!

Hey Uriel, I would love it if you would come to the AdultContentPolicy page and participate in defining the direction for our wiki site, after all ItsYourWiki. If you would like to participate, go here and add your name like {{NotYet|need to look at this more}}. Please let me know if you have any questions... I am really interested in what you think about this, the issue and the way we are deciding it. :-) Best, MarkDilley

edit AdultContentPolicy

Uriel, your participating in creating the AboutUs AdultContentPolicy helps us build a stronger community. A lot of progress has been made and we have reached our GoThresholds. We are thrilled at the start of the 48 hour DoneTimer.

This means you should return to the AdultContentPolicy and review any changes that may have been made since you last saw it.

• If you still approve of the policy, no action is needed.
• If you are unhappy with the policy as is stands you will need to make a change to it soon.

Any edit will reset the DoneTimer. (this is ok as it is part of the process)

This is a critical time for the success of the new AdultContentPolicy. Your continued participation is needed to make sure we make the best decision we possibly can make right now. Please do advocate for the best possible policy!

Best,

MarkDilley

edit Help with Big Decision ... AboutUsLogo!

Hello, there is a movement afoot to create a new version of the AboutUsLogo. I'd love it if you would come to AboutUsLogo and participate in creating this important decision about the look/feel for our site, after all ItsYourWiki! Warm Regards, Brandon CS Sanders

ps. Your portrait is awesome! I always like knowing a bit about the folks I'm interacting with online. Perhaps you'd like to add a smidge about yourself on your PersonalPage?

edit Storyteller's Bazaar

Hello Uriel,

Have you paid a visit to TheStorytellersBazaar yet? If not, please do. It's jam packed with all sorts of writing activities. Read some of the contributions and hopefully they will inspire you to contribute too. The more you contribute the better the site will become. Come and have a look and enjoy. Tanwir Shah

edit WhoWeAre

Hi,

I would just like to tell you about the WhoWeAre consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.

The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.

Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. Tanwir Shah

edit NewSkin Beta Preview

Hello Uriel!

We've noticed your contributions and are glad to be on the AboutUs team with you! As an ActiveMember your energy and ideas determine our future direction. One way that ActiveMembers stay "in the loop" is to participate in the beta previews of large new changes to the site before they are generally released.

Today we're starting a limited beta preview of an earthy NewSkin intended to reflect the alive and growing AboutUs community. The NewSkin is designed to feel wholesome and connected with the real world. This choice was made to reassure the many folks who feel that the internet is a "scary place" where mean people hide behind fake identities and shout insults at each other. We hope that the NewSkin evokes our values in a way that helps visitors and members alike feel grounded in true community.

We'd love your help putting the NewSkin through its paces! To give it a whirl you'll need to be logged in. Once you are logged in, go to "my preferences" | "skin" and select "design". Don't forget to then click the "save" button! You can always go back to the current skin by selecting "aboutus" via the same steps.

Your feedback on the new look for aboutus will help ensure that it has a maximally positive impact when we roll it out. Thanks for being a valuable member of the community, we look forward to your feedback on the NewSkin page!

Warm Regards,
the DevelopmentTeam
