Invitation to comment on VP proposal: Establish WT:MoS as the official site for style Q&A on Wikipedia
The issue of how to help new editors with style questions has come up at a proposal at the Village Pump that WT:MoS be established as Wikipedia's official page for style Q&A. This would involve actively guiding editors with style questions to WT:MoS and away from other pages. Participation is welcome, especially from users who have experience dealing with new users' style issues. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:42, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
Request an account process needs help
Hello everyone, I'm John F. Lewis, an administrator on Wikipedia's account creation interface. Recently, our project has had an increased backlog in getting accounts for new users. Our numbers are currently over 400 people waiting for accounts on the English Wikipedia. If you could even spare a moment to do a few requests a day to help us clear this backlog, that would go a long way to encouraging new editors to participate with an account. If this interests you and you're willing to help, and you match the following description, then please do apply! Ideal users are:
- Identified to the Wikimedia Foundation or are willing and able to identify,
- In good standing with no recent blocks or other sanctions,
- Understand and are able to apply the username policy,
- Have worked with new contributors,
- Please see the full list of requirements for more information.
We have a very friendly team to help you get started, we also have a private IRC channel where you can ask questions or get help with difficult account requests. If you have any questions for us or about the process, feel free to ask at the talk page. If you can help out, we would greatly appreciate it. For the ACC team, John F.

I understand this is a english wikipedia but I am having problem with referencing. Frankly I have found two great scientific research journals but they are both in foreign language. However the information I need to reference is in the "abstract" part from both journals and both wrote their topic, introduction, abstract in english then everything else is in foreign language. Can i use those two journals as references and cite them? Also can i use scientific journals that are written in foreign language in future? The frustrating problem is that lots of great research journals are published around the world yet they are not written english and not being able to cite journals written in foreign languages.
