If you wish to contact me urgently, please contact me on my talk page at Train Spotting World, where I am most active. If it's not urgent, leave it below and i'll respond when I can. Thanks very much. BG7 04:51, 20 December 2007 (EET)

Re:New User:Bluegoblin7

Hello,

I've seen your message on my French talk page, thanks for your proposal. The English ScoutWiki really needs native English-speaking contributors, so you are really welcome!

May I ask you which are the radical changes you wish to make to the wiki ? For those which do not require you to have the admin rights, feel free to apply them on this wiki as soon as you want. The admin rights we will possibly grant you later, when we will have seen that you really are ready to become involved in the project. I think one month of regular contributions would do it, especially if you keep in touch with the rest of the team on forum or IRC.

So it would be great, if you came to speak a bit with our other main international contributors, either on our forum or, more likely, on our IRC channel (#scoutwiki @ Freenode). You may also wish to contact the other main contributor on this wiki, Ericblazek, a US scouter who joined in November.

For the time going, if you really need some changes to be done which require admin rights, you can ask me or Cedsib or ZeiP to apply them.

Feel free to contact by email: akela_nde(a)scoutwiki.org. I also have MSN address which I will be glad to give you if you wish.

Scout greetings,

Akela - yaw yaoooo ! 14:56, 20 December 2007 (EET)

Hi Akela,
Well, the main changes for now are a redesigned main page, sorting out your help area, and starting up the Portals/Workforces (like WikiProjects).
Ill make a list of pages to be deleted and i'll pass it on.
Thanks,

RE:Hello

Hello BG7,

I'm relatively new here myself, and no admin by a long shot. The guys that set the place up are all non-English speakers, and busy with the other sister projects, so the field is wide open to do as you like.

My projects here ATM include copying over the 'Scouting in [State]' from Wikipedia, but moving each of the councils to their own pages, and importing council shoulder patch images. That will keep me busy for awhile.

I am also collecting emails for all the council webpages I can find to send email requesting a link on their page. We're going to have to advertise this place heavily to really get it off the ground.

BTW, I'm a railfan as well, with the BNSF line from OKC to Dallas running right through town (Norman, OK). I do a little HO modelling as well, and really enjoy the old Frisco line, which ran through the town I grew up in (Sapulpa, OK). Got a Spectrum Russian Decapod

that is the pride of my line. Even been to St.Louis RR Museum to climb on the real thing. Do you do any modelling ?

Ericblazek 16:25, 20 December 2007 (EET)

Hi Ericblazek,
It's good to know that - i will start of by maiking the place more User Friendly, and then get on with articles etc.
Yes I do model, I have a fictional one, set in Middle England. It is a Preserved or Heritage Railway.
Why not set up an account at Train Spotting World (i don;t care if you're not a train spotter - neither am I!) and do some contributing there?
Thanks,
