Welcome!

Hello, Emaria2222, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:55, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jörmungandr article

I don't know whether you still look here or will receive a notification of this post, but that was some good work, and I wanted to belatedly thank you for it. Unfortunately you hit on an article that was using a notes & references style, with things like "Sørensen 2002" in the footnote referring to a work identified in full in the section below. This is not covered in the WMF's introductory material on referencing, and caused you to miss that we were already referencing the article by Preben Meulengracht Sørensen; you referenced it by the names of the book's editors instead of the author, and you apparently used an ebook version with a different year and pagination. Also, some of the things you referenced to the handbook of mythology are a bit contentious. But I was shocked to see you hadn't received thanks or any kind of feedback for improving the article; perhaps there was some via the WikiEd page for your course. In any case, I hope in the intervening two years you've prospered. Maybe you are now a grad student in comparative mythology, or a Wikipedia admin under another user name :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 07:58, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Yngvadottir:Wow, I almost forgot that I worked on this article until I got the notification for your post. Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad to know people found my edits helpful. I haven't worked on any other Wikipedia articles nor have I studied Norse mythology outside of this class, so it's good to know that you were able to catch my errors and correct the references. I'm actually starting as a grad student in botany. I didn't cross my mind before receiving this message, but now I'm thinking I could try my hand at editing wiki pages again but in my area of expertise. Thanks again for the kind words and critiques. Good to know what to look out for. Emaria2222 (talk) 10:08, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! You're welcome, and it would be great if you could :-) Yngvadottir (talk) 19:55, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
