David Livingstone Trust Editathon
editHello again Reader265! It was great to meet you at the editathon at the David Livingstone Trust, and I hope that you enjoyed the session.
Now that you've learned the basics, please do keep editing! If you'd like a reminder about how to edit, I recommend Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure for a one-hour intro with the help of a friendly alien...
Wiki is never finished - it's a constantly evolving entity. And there are a huge community of other editors out there who can help.

Here's some links that I hope you'll find useful:
- Really good guide to getting started
- Is your topic notable enough for an article?
- Be Bold!
- Learn from others
- How to write a great article
- A simplified manual of style
You can find out more about what's happening with Wikimedia in Scotland on the WMUK site here.
To keep up to date about Wikimedia events happening throughout Scotland, to learn more about ScotWiki projects, or to publicise your own ScotWiki event or project, join the ScotWiki Mailing List!
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon! Lirazelf (talk) 16:10, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
Women in Red Anti-Valentine Editathon
editHello again Reader265! It was great to meet you at the editathon in Kirkintilloch, and I hope that you enjoyed the session.

Welcome to Wikipedia, Reader265! Thank you for your contributions. I am Pigsonthewing and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:48, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Hajar Abulfazl
editYour article is now at Hajar Abulfazl. Well done! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:32, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you! Have done a few edits but that's my first article.
Andy, I'm still getting the hang of this "Talk" business and hope you are watching this page. Re the Hajar Abulfazl article, I used a couple of citations that I see now are a bit of a no-no because of being too closely associated with the subject (nos. 3 & 6). Is it better to remove the info relying on them from the article? I struggled to find corroboration elsewhere. Thanks Reader265 (talk) 10:05, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Eleanor Soltau, from its old location at User:Reader265/Eleanor Soltau. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 00:39, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Women in Red
editHi there, Reader265, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already created Hajar Abulfazl and are developing Draft:Eleanor Soltau. If you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy edting!--Ipigott (talk) 08:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Your submission at Articles for creation: Eleanor Soltau has been accepted
edit
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.
The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .
Thanks again, and happy editing!

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
edit| Women in Red 8th Anniversary | |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
