Getting started
How do I edit a Public Health page. I am lost here. Where is the start out page. I have edited wikipedia but this place takes to much for granted. RoddyYoung 11:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Roddy! I'm sorry to hear that you're having a hard time finding your way around. Wikia isn't the same as Wikipedia... Wikipedia is one big site about everything, while Wikia is a collection of different sites.


 * There is a wiki about Public Health, but it hasn't been built up. If you'd like to help there, it would be great! -- Danny (talk ) 16:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, thank you for your reply. All I know of you is from wikipedia weekly. From listening to a podcast I was directed to your site. I would be interested to subscribe to your wikia weekly to learn about wikia. i will listen you this as I drive to work. Thank you for the public health feed back.

Welcome
Welcome,, to Community Central!

We are a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual Wikia, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, use the Community Portal or Help Desk. If your wiki needs something done, leave the details on the Volunteer Portal. If you need assistance from a member of staff, leave a message with one of the Community Team.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialise and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new Wikia, please let us know! Check out new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to and to help reverse spam and vandalism.

Enjoy! Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 15:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your welcome. I understand that community of interest build up around a topic. I like the idea that the discussion is gated so that no detractions of others takes place. I have been a fan of binary webpages where a person has to options on the page. Google has type and word and search. I find there is to much clutter for me to understand wikia opening page. I still am lost. In wikipedia I can search a word and find information. wikipedia:information::google:information. my question is wiki:organisation::wikia:? RoddyYoung 20:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can search a lot of information on Wikia, but different of Wikipedia, Wikia is formed for a lot of sites which have too many informations about a topic (but don't worry, theses sites are divided by categories, in agreemen of your content; for example the category technology contains wikis that talk about technology, the choice is your, and you can go to the wiki that have your interest; is more like a "category's tree"); if you see our main page you can go to the page of your interest, and find the Wiki that you want to find something what you are searching; if you have more doubts, don't hesitate to talk with me. Enjoy! :) --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 00:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * So let me understand you Anastasiya this is a "Meta data site" very cleaver. It is also a private company. Who are the shareholders. Have you considered basing it on the bimetalic gold and silver money standard. Big questions off topic. So when I went to public health I found nothing, zero. Who writes the page and how do I get involved with my B.Sc., B.Soc.Sc (Hons), and Post Grad Dip in Public Policy? RoddyYoung 00:25, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Wikia is a organization with lucative pruposes, (you can see this by the announcements from Google), with many sites which need of contribuitors; as you could see in Pubic Health Wiki, some wikis need of informations and contribuitors to help theses sites (like Wikpedia), and the Pubic Health Wiki is one of these; if you could help the site, thanks, but who rules this I don't know (but you can talk with the community team to have more informations  about it, or see more infoprmation of Wikia in in Wikipedia ). Cheers. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 00:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
