 * Be honest: if the request is not realistic or doable on your wiki, or generally off-topic, say so and explain why. For example, it may not be productive for the newcomer to work on content that may be deleted in only a few days. But explaining why the content can be deleted can help the newcomer to avoid future problems. Invite the newcomer to work on something else instead.
