Areas of Expertise/Notes: Add your area of expertise or any additional areas you would specifically like to mentor in.
Notes: Add any additional notes here to help individuals determine who might be able to best help them.
Mentoring: Help the contributor add their username to the Mentoring column to show you are mentoring them if they have not already.

Additional Notes for Mentors[edit | edit source]

Be watching for e-mails that will notify you of requests that come to your Talk page.
Please add the {{Discussion Conventions}} template to your Talk page.
After you have agreed to help a user, please teach him/her how to sign their name under the Mentoring column.
Filling in your areas of expertise above and any additional notes about yourself and your experience will help the new user to determine which mentor might be able to help him/her.
Chat tools such as Skype can help make mentoring easier.
