Welcome![edit source]
Hi Bmorrisett,
Welcome to the Appropedia wiki. Please make yourself at home! If you need a general wiki-tutorial, see the main help page (or the more in-depth one on WikiEducator).
Check your preferences and be sure you verify your email address and turn on email notification if you'd like it -- you can find out when your talk page, or any page on your watchlist, is modified. You may want to upload a photo or information about yourself to your userpage (which is at https://www.appropedia.org/User:Bmorrisett).
If you have a particular interest or project in mind, go ahead and start it! If you have questions or suggestions, the best place to leave them is at the Village pump - you should get a fast response. Or, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you have further questions, need help finding your way around, have a cool idea for a project, or just want to chat.
Glad to have you here!
Welcome and category delete[edit source]
Hi Borrisett,
Welcome to Appropedia and thanks for your exciting edits... it is great to have Illinois represented. I deleted the Cook County category. In the future you can use the {{Delete}} tag on a page to mark it for deletion.
Thank you again, --Lonny 04:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Good work[edit source]
Hi - I just linked Beginners permaculture garden on Twitter (and the open source equivalent, identi.ca. Thanks for your contributions - look forward to working with you more! --Chriswaterguy 19:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi Bill,
I only just saw your comment to me from January - I should have seen it, but somehow missed it. Anyway, moved it to my talk page, and answered there. Hope your garden is going well, ready to really spring to life! --Chriswaterguy 04:43, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
How are things in Illinois?[edit source]
I was looking at Beginners permaculture garden and realized you hadn't been around for a few months. Hope you're well, and hope to see you here again! --Chriswaterguy 08:50, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Chicago Update[edit source]
Chris, thanks for asking about our activities here in Chicago. For a good update on urban gardening and farming in Chicago see Advocates for Urban Agriculture Chicago. For me, 2009 has been busy. Helped to found WeFarm America. WeFarm had lots of volunteer help (mostly college interns) to install backyard raised bed vegetable gardens for a fee. The WeFarm crew also helped to start several community and school gardens this past summer. WeFarm is a social entrepreneurship. Much thanks to MyFarm in San Francisco for help in planning the first year. My wiki updates have lagged -- too busy. Hopefully will be providing more online updates before long. --Bill Oct. 10, 2009
