Hi!
[edit]I love your profile page! Also, we will both be beginning lessons with Missionedit at around the same time! I'm pretty excited about that. Maybe we can edit some pages together sometime, if we're on together for classes anyway! Wow, I use WAY too many exclamation points.😊(BluJay (talk) 01:11, 21 March 2015 (UTC))

- Just so you know, you need to remove the image of Gallifrey from your user page immediately, because that image is only for use in articles. Using it on a user page is an infringement of copyright. Sorry to spoil the fun, but you'll just have to find another picture :( ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] (talk) 20:30, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'll remove it now. What images can I add? AmazingAlec (talk) 20:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Lesson reminder
[edit]Hi, Alec!
Just so you know, another editor finished fixed the citations on the Roy Clark article. I want you to get some more practice with this, so when you have time, find another (preferably short) article at either Category:Articles needing footnote reformatting or Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup and fix its citation problems. Don't hesitate to ask if you need help. Happy editing! ~ ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] (talk) 00:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
Lessons
[edit]FYI, I have marked you as inactive on my adoption page because you haven't shown any editing activity for more than a month. Don't worry, we can pick lessons when you return :) I'll be around if you have any questions. Ciao! ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] (talk) 02:52, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
