OOC-Miza-wide Event:Adopt a Stub Day!

[Victor Lark]

Unless it's not okay that I'm currently in peer review on another stub, I'd like to sign up for Birdkeeping.

[Verilian]

I think I will take on Play Musical Instrument. I might pick up some other ones later, but I'll just stick with the one article for the moment.

[Seven Xu]

I would like to do Astronomy. I see it isn't on this list, nor is it a stub. I also probably won't be able to make much headway on it for a month or so, but I just wanted to poke my nose in and offer my knowledge on the subject; make my intentions known, and such.

[Tiki]

List updated, and welcome aboard to you all. Sure you can't read dates, but what the heck, you're willing to help so who am I to be picky?

Like I said, it's up to date...tell me if you need anything changed or added.
My silly notes are there to help reviewers know where a thread might be, PM or repost here if you are wanting to update and we'll advertise that more so it can be moved along through the editing process.
A lot I'm assuming to still be drafts in Progross to be submitted to Help Desk, afterwards I'll make Peer Review or Founder Review with your verification.

Thanks again for helping! Don't be afraid to drag more people to this thread from chat either... the more the merrier. ^_^

For Auron - I'm going to check the WIP links to see if the threads have been abandoned. Otherwise you might be able to pull a few ideas from the WIP threads, or take them over with a Founder's permission.
Otherwise I'll leave out WIPs up there if someone else wants to research themselves the status of those threads, take voer, start fresh, etc.

For Aspen-Sorry I didn't notice your PR article already... >.> I'm going to go check back and update the list with that right now. I know Antar, Kendall, and Yura were playing with a navigation type and drugs...it's probably best to not ask. xD Thanks for that though.

For Seven-Just do a little reading up on the subject. eep in mind Mizahar isn't tat technologically advanced so...there might not be much detail to get into...with is a plus! Don't feel you're doing a poor job either if there isn't much to write or relate to, you're clarifying the fact that it's still a vague subject anyway. Best of luck.

For Victor Lark-You can both write and critique articles at the same time. It's actually a greater help. We'll all be reviewing these articles a bit from now anyway, so taking that gradual step might be a smart move so there isn't a flood in Founder Review. ^_^

And lastly, but not least, Verilian-Thanks for the help with that one. I have no idea about music what so ever...so that's a HUGE help!

Feel free to pop back in and pick up some others if you feel inspired to write more.

[Devmond Incarnata]

Wow, this is a wonderful opportunity to give everyone a chance to be involved. If it is not too precotious, I would like to head the stubs: philosophy, politics, writing, undertaking, and beekeeping . I have interest especially in the first three subjects, the other two being interesting and unusual, researching more in depth will be a joy.

I have a few questions though, how do I edit the stubs? Or, do you write them and submit them here to this thread? Also, when we do have them all written out, who do we see to get them approved for viewing to all members and guests?

Anyway, I'm off to brush off the dusty college grammar textbook.

[Venidus Larkspur]

I will take sculpting to start with. This would be the first I've done, but if I am making good progress or finish fast, I will come grab a few more.

Sculpting is something that I have some knowledge regarding and a lot of interest in.

For Devmond and anyone else wondering the basics of you editing the stub is as follows:
Outline the skill you're editing as if a full article, and try to make it as pristine as you can. Submit it to the help desk. The format can be taken from the other skill exmaples, usually including the overview, history, prerequisite(if applicable), and skill progression chart(outlining the do's of people in those four skill levels from 1-100: novice, competent, expert, and master).
From the help desk you are awaiting the approval of a Founder who can direct you then to Peer Review. Copy your article and paste in the World Deelopment Peer Review section as [Skill] Name (Peer Review), also hyperlink the HD ticket at the top so moderators can check you're going through the process properly. If you're article is not a skill it might be labeled [Creature] or otherwise instead...jsut go with the flow on that.
Peer review requires 5 reviews from different players. Peer reviewers are looking for issues grammar, spelling, phrasing, concepts...that sort of thing to help buff your article. You edit said article, and once it's good to go it can be submitted to Founder review.

Label the thread the same, merely change Peer to Founder, and relink your HD ticket (it might help to link the peer review as well). From there, the founders will help you Miza-fy the article any more should it need, help with final touches, and eventually publication in the WIki. Founder review needs the A-okay from 2 founders. Given there are 5 of them...and as many as 67 of us at a high point...don't feel neglected if the article isn't immediately answered. ^_^

If something's still unclear, PM me or ask chat. I cannot find the corresponding article to article development for the life of me. You two have been added to the list, welcome aboard, and happy writing.

[Fela Meason]

Scratch that. Botany instead

[Ghedan Windhowl]

I'd like to do Rhetoric. But if someone else wants to, go ahead and take it. I'm not sure what my time looks like for the next while, so I'm not staking an absolute claim on it.

[Tiki]

That's changed Fela and Rhetoric is done actually...if that was on the list I'm so sorry I didn't clear it... I'm rechecking the wiki now as well...my appologies if I messed up anyone else's request as well.
