Vandalism Studies Update - August 2012

Hello, members of the Vandalism Studies Project! As some of us are quite new with the Vandalism Studies project, it would make sense for us to re-read some of the past studies, as well as studies outside the project. Please do so if you have a chance, just so we can get into the groove of things. We're planning on attempting to salvage the Obama study (or possibly simply convert it to a new Romney study), as well as hopefully begin our third study this November. If you have any ideas for Study 3, please suggest them! If you have any questions please post them on the project talk page. Thanks, and happy editing - we can't wait to begin working on the project! --Dan653 (talk) and Theo polisme _:)

Thank You

Hey, just saying thanks for the messages. I'm sure they'll come in handy! As for questions, am I doing this whole talk page thing right? I wanted to thank you for your help, but I have no idea how to send a short message like that, nor do I know how the chat things work, so if this is just cluttering things up I'd appreciate some hints on how to properly speak with someone about topics unrelated to an article; the help page for talk pages wasn't very clear. ItWasTheButlerAllAlong (talk) 20:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello there! ;) So far, you're doing just fine. Your message was very nice. Just leave a similar message on the talk page of any editor you wish to communicate with and you'll surely get a kind and helpful response. Again, welcome to Wikipedia! —This lousy T-shirt— (talk) 18:41, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
