Oops! It looks like you accidentally approved a bad edit in while patrolling recent changes just now. That's okay though; you're still learning. I undid a batch of your recent patrols, to play it safe and have those edits reviewed again. I just want to make sure no bad edits were accepted while you're still learning your way around RC patrol.

If you haven't already, read our article on How to Patrol Recent Changes and give it another try! I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about patrolling. And remember, if you're not sure what to do, just press the "skip" button and you'll do fine :)

Heya Emma,

Thanks so much for helping out with patrolling! I know it can be a bit tricky at first, but don't worry - it's normal to get feedback, ask questions, and skip the edits you're not positive about. Do you have any questions so far?

Just drop me a line if you do - I'd be happy to help!

At 16:51, May 17, 2017

AnnaAnna said:

Well, every article here is open for editing! What were you hoping to work on?

Oh neat - what's your experience with hamsters and other animals?

At 22:08, May 18, 2017

AnnaAnna said:

Aw, I'm sorry they're not with you anymore - but I bet you took good care of them! No wonder you have advice to share in that area :)

At 23:09, May 18, 2017

AnnaAnna said:

Oh, I'd check out the Topic Greenhouse - that's a neat way to find articles in your topic area of interest to dive into!

Hey there,

I noticed you started helping out with patrolling, which is awesome! We could really use a helping hand. Just don't forget to read How to Patrol Recent Changes on wikiHow first; we're counting on you to make sure that every single edit you approve is a good one. If you end up approving a bad edit, it can really hurt wikiHow's credibility, so if you're not sure what to do, just press "Skip". Here's some general advice to get you started:

  • Article edits: If they're accurate and helpful additions, hit Mark as Patrolled. If they're vandalism or involve unnecessary inclusions of brand names or external links, hit Rollback. If they are helpful but are not in wikiHow style or format, or the edit contains mistakes, do a Quick Edit to fix the change.
  • Articles needing lots of help: If you come across an article with tons of mistakes, you can use Quick Edit to fix them up, or add templates for further editing. If you're not sure what needs fixing, just go ahead and skip it so someone else can add any necessary templates.
  • Talk pages: Generally, messages between talk pages that aren't vandalism or abuse are fine, too. You can mark them as patrolled, most of the time.
  • Discussion pages: Generally, most comments here are fine to patrol, but if you see obvious or repeat spamming, abusive or offensive content, you can remove it.
  • User pages: Most edits here are okay. Only rollback or question the edit if it's clearly vandalism by another editor or contains abusive content.


Let me know if you have any questions - I'd be happy to help! Also, if you don't feel ready for the responsibility that comes with patrolling, there are plenty of other things you can do to help out, like vote for/against pictures on Picture Patrol, or use the Spellchecker tool.

Happy editing!

Thanks for your message, would you find it easier to use our wikiHow Spanish site?

At 18:21, May 20, 2017

SarahBSarahB said:

Thanks for editing Read Music. I was just looking at the change you made while patrolling recent changes, and I think it might go against one of wikiHow's policies, so I undid it. It could be that I misunderstood your edit, though, so just let me know if you'd like me to put it back and we can probably figure something out.

At 18:22, May 20, 2017

SarahBSarahB said:

OK, no worries, just remember to use English on this site, that way everyone can understand you:) Let me know if you would like any help using wikiHow, Sarah

Hi Emma

I may be able to help you depending on the issue. What is the thing you need help with?

At 18:40, May 20, 2017

ZodiawZodi said:

You receive fan mail when someone sends fan mail to an article you have edited. So, if you want fan mail, you have to edit a lot of articles.

The articles Receive a Lot of wikiHow Fan Mail and Read Your wikiHow Fan Mail may be of interest to you.

At 18:44, May 20, 2017

EricEric said:

The article on How to Write Fan Mail on wikiHow should help. :)

At 18:53, May 20, 2017

EricEric said:

Perhaps you want to share that knowledge by writing a new article or expanding an existing one?

At 18:54, May 20, 2017

SarahBSarahB said:

No you wont! :))if you are going to use Spanish then use our Spanish wikiHow click here. Keep to English when you are on this site because not everyone can speak Spanish :)

read this article which explains how to edit a wikiHow article.

Please let me know if you would like any further help finding your way around our site, kind regards, Sarah

I replied to your message where you asked if you would get into trouble and said no you wont! Stop panicking, you have done nothing wrong!

At 15:02, May 21, 2017

EricEric said:

Fortunately, our entire project (wikiHow) is a collaborate effort. Once you start a new article, or revise an existing article, you should expect people to continue your efforts and edit what you've added. Some of our most popular articles have been edited hundreds of times as the community continues to improve the articles!

At 20:16, May 21, 2017

EricEric said:

I'd suggest reading through the Writer's Guide to gain a better understanding of the formatting style for articles.

Hi Emma I just enjoy doing this, and I'm guessing I'm alot older than you, haha! About 25 years ago, I was a proofreader and did editing for a couple of newspapers. I have been interested in writing and editing all my life. I'm not able to work anymore, I am on disability, so I have more time to do it. This site was/is a life saver for me. I love contributing! If I can ever help ya out, just let me know! Patti

Oops! It looks like you accidentally added a less helpful tip while working on Tips Patrol just now. That's okay though; you're still learning, and it can be tricky at first!

If you haven't already, read our article on How to Use the Tips Patrol Tool on wikiHow and give it another try! If you have any questions about adding tips, don't hesitate to reach out to the Help Team. And remember, if you're not sure what to do, just press the "skip" button and you'll do fine :)

Sprinkles0Starla said:

Things I recommend trying:

  • Quality Guardian - Here you can approve tips and videos that would be helpful to the article.
  • Category Guardian - Here you pick articles that fit in with the category it shows you. If an article doesn't fit, click the "x". If it does, click the check mark.
  • Edit by Topic - Here you edit articles that are marked as stubs (articles that are off to a good start but could be expanded)
  • Spell Checker - Here you will fix words that are spelled incorrectly

I hope these help you!

At 22:58, Jan 18, 2018

I love those names. It's funny, Tigger being your sister's dog's name. Cyndi does not understand the dog/cat relationship. She does not "know" that dogs chase cats. My neighbour's cat even swipes his paw at her. She doesn't give him a second look. It's like Garfield and Odie. I swear the cat is thinking "dumb dog"! hahaha

We best not chat too much, cause we aren't supposed to, but I'm always happy to help you out if you need anything! Take care!

At 23:02, Jan 18, 2018

P-HillsPatti said:

Because wikiHow is not a chat room, and chatting is not allowed. One of my mentors on the site taught me that. All messages go through RC Patrol, and if chatting is noticed, we will get a message not to do so ;)

At 23:06, Jan 18, 2018

P-HillsPatti said:

I would love to sometime, but I have a couple of articles on the go right now. I have also written on Accept That Your Beloved Dog is Aging if you want to take a look at one I did!

Yes, and I think there is a picture of my dad in there and me ;)

Emma, this is a link to the Categories Section of the site: https://www.wikihow.com/Category:Pets-and-Animals

There are a number of Articles there, towards the bottom on the right hand side, that need to be "fleshed out", meaning added to and expanded to make them more complete. Perhaps a title there could give you inspiration, or that you would be able to expand on those articles.

At 00:05, Jan 19, 2018

P-HillsPatti said:

I'll go check ;)

At 00:08, Jan 19, 2018

P-HillsPatti said:

No, you have to go into "edit" on that page, then scroll down to the members and put your name in. FYI, there are 14 members right now. You'd be the 15th. Just follow the format of the other users, and put your name in there!

At 00:13, Jan 19, 2018

P-HillsPatti said:

Okay, first I would start with explaining some of the reasons that people are scared of some pets, which pets tend to cause fear over others, and methods to overcome the fears. That's for a start. I would check out websites for information and then Reference Sources on wikiHow will show you how to give proper credit for the information you put in the article.

Congrats on starting your first wikiHow article!

Like all new articles, it will now go through a quality review process to ensure it follows our community guidelines. If your article meets those guidelines, you'll get a note letting you know that it's been promoted.

In the meantime you can continue editing to improve your article, or try visiting our Community Dashboard for other ways to help. You might get a kick out of flipping through the Topic Greenhouse to find articles in your area of expertise so you can add your knowledge there, too!

If you have any questions as you go, just reach out to our Help Team for a hand, and someone will get back to you soon :)

Heya,

Thanks for starting an article on wikiHow: How to Determine the Sex of an Ostrich! I just wanted to let you know that it's been categorized as a stub, meaning that it's a good outline (and we're glad you started it!), but still has some room to grow. We want to be sure that the article has enough step-by-step details in it so that a person reading it can accomplish this task from start to finish.

Do you have any more information you can add? You can also get details from other sites, as long as you put them in your own words and reference them. Either way, it's off to a good start. It'll be great to see how it develops! If there is anything I can do to help you expand the article or get around on wikiHow, please let me know!

You can do that if you’re in Advanced Editor, using the Save a Draft button. If you’re using the article creator, there’s no way to save midway through but you can always publish what you have and then put an {{inuse}} tag on it to let folks know you’re still working on it.

Uh oh, how come you approved this edit? That took a really well-developed and important article and replaced it with a lot of gibberish, that then got marked for deletion. That's not good - what went wrong?
