Cherryfur123 - Mentor Request
I like helping out new users and would love to be a mentor. --- Cherryfur123  In stores worldwide 19:07, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

I don't wanna sound pushy and impatient but no one's replied to this yet so, I'm kinda wondering if something was wrong. Cherryfur123  In stores worldwide 15:14, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry, it will get answered. I know Bramble and Insane have been very busy this week which is probably why it is left like this. 15:21, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Okie :) I'll wait a while :) Cherryfur123  In stores worldwide 15:24, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your request. You have been accepted as a mentor and you may began teaching an apprentice. -- 02:16, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Other Discussion
Please put any other discussion here, under a level 3 heading as well.

Inactive Apprentices
It's not the first time that I accept someone as an apprentice, and they completely disappear after that without notice. I understand that several other mentors face the same problem. Therefore, I would like to ask all people who apply as apprentice: please apply only if you have time for learning and for working with a mentor. Otherwise, you are denying active members the opportunity to learn (as mentors can take only a limited number of apprentices). Thanks, 13:34, July 29, 2010 (UTC)

Helix is correct on these points. Also, seeing this, I believe there should be guidelines on what an inactive mentor or apprentice is, and if/when they should be removed. Please review these and see what you think:


 * If an apprentice request is accepted, but the mentor hears no word from his/her respective apprentice for a week, said apprentice will be removed.
 * If during an apprenticeship the apprentice disappears for a period of more than two weeks with no notification, said apprentice will be removed.
 * If a mentor is not fulfilling his/her duties or has vanished for a period of more than a month with no notification, said mentor will be removed.

Tell me what you think. -- 02:24, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good, Bramble. Oblivion  Fly my pretties, fly...  16:38, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with these terms. :) Whitestorm17 19:11, August 9, 2010 (UTC)(Talk!)

Agreed, and thanks :) 19:40, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

I'm in favour of this =) 19:42, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Mentor expectations.
Hi, I can see loads of users need to be adopted and there are hardly any mentors. A lot of users could be mentors, but, of course they don't fulfil expectations :P Instead of 25% in two contributive places, what about 20% ? It would make there be more mentors, and therefore, it would be better for the project, and users would not feel sad, that they have not been adopted by a mentor. Zoe27 18:48, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I like that Idea I know most of what there is to know about WWiki I would also be like to be a mentor.....but I do not have two contubusive name space with 25% Rainear   be as silent as rain

Yes, the idea seems like a good one to me too, it looks like a lot of users are without mentors and I think it would help the wiki if this took place. Tansyfoot. 15:28, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hi can i please become an apprentice? i am on almost everyday.**Sunstar** 17:54, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

You should put that under Requests to be Apprentices Section above Rainear   be as silent as rain

Hm...it seems like a good idea to me. ♥Ice storm★  17:58, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

I also think this should take place incase the current mentors become inactive. I hope the admins aprove this idea! Zoe27 18:26, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

The problem with the multitude of apprentices is that we have no guidelines on when an inactive apprentice or mentor should be removed. I am attempting to fix this in the above discussion. I disagree with this proposal because at least 20% in two contributive namespaces would be less than half of a user's full edits. If a user spends more of his time doing uncontributive edits than contributive, I don't want him as a mentor. Mentors should realize the full purpose of the wiki and make sure their editcount reflects that they love contributing to it as a whole. Also, I would like to mention on a tangent that I have unprotected the main project page, so when an apprentice graduates the former mentor in question can just remove the apprentice from the list themselves. Please use the privilege respectfully; continue to use this talk page as you have. If problems occur with apprentices adding themselves in on the main page without requesting here, the page will be protected again. -- 02:30, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Even though it would make becoming a mentor easier for me, I agree with Bramble. 03:38, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

For what it is worth, I think Bramble is absolutely correct on this. 19:42, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Inactive mentors.
My mentor has been inactive to answering my questions and stuff lately. I think I posted a few questions on Quail's talkpage like 2 months ago, but Quail never replied. I really don't know what to do, and I just need to find out a few things and then I think I can graduate, then maybe become a mentor. xD Frostheart  ♥  19:46, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, Quailflight has been unactive for quite some time. Read the post above about inactive users. Whitestorm17 20:22, August 9, 2010 (UTC)(Talk!)
