Hello, Gweduni! Thank you so much for coming along to the University of Edinburgh's ILW 2015 editathon and for your contributions. Now that you've learned how to edit, I hope that you'll continue helping make Wikipedia better, one edit at a time. Don't worry about being perfect: none of us are! Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

History of Medicine editathon

[edit]

Hello again, Gweduni!
Apologies for taking so long to get back to you after last week but am just recovering from the flu. Thank you so much for facing up to your fear of skull biscuits and for taking part in the History of Medicine editathon. Just so you know, we uploaded in excess of 500 images to Wiki Commons, created 4 brand new articles on Wikipedia, and improved a further 56! For the event page, click here or to see the whole illustrated story of the event then you can click here: Storify: ILW editathon 2016
I hope that you enjoyed the day, and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've learned - or refreshed - the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful.

How universities are teaching with Wikipedia
Editing Wikipedia brochure
Instructor Basics, How to use Wikipedia as a teaching tool
Illustrating Wikipedia brochure

If you're not feeling bold enough to write an (other) article straight away, why not try a small edit first, or adding a link? Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful, especially the first one which covers the main things to remember about using Visual Editor.

The next up-and-coming Wikipedia event is this one run by Sara Thomas, Wikimedian in Residence at Museums and Galleries Scotland. Details here: Modern Scottish Women 2 - Art & Feminism

The University of Edinburgh are also looking into running an editathon for International Women’s Day on (or near) 8th March 2016 – details are still to be confirmed but will be updated on my project page here: Wikipedia:University_of_Edinburgh
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Remember, if you are writing on a talk page, please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Bad source

[edit]

Thanks for trying to help add sources with this edit.[1] But if you look closer at the source you'll see it's simply a copy of the article itself, being published by Lulu.com, a self-publishing company. Please be more careful aboutusing anything from that company in the future. Just because it's on Google Books doesn't make it reliable. For more information, see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Felsic2 (talk) 20:27, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Same problem here:[2]. Please review the rest of your edits to make sure there aren't any others. For the future, if you find the exact text from a Wikipedia article in a Google Books source, that means there's a problem. Felsic2 (talk) 20:32, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hidden Gems - thanks for coming!

[edit]

Heya! Just wanted to drop by and say hi, and thanks for coming on Friday! Was good to see you, and I'm so glad to see the Picture House article in draft... I've tweeted it so hopefully we may get a few offers of help... hope all's well with you! Lirazelf (talk) 10:57, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Clare de Brereton Evans concern

[edit]

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Clare de Brereton Evans, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Clare de Brereton Evans

[edit]

Hello, Gweduni. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Clare de Brereton Evans".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 10:02, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Event coordinator granted

[edit]

After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:

The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.

If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux ^Talk 04:19, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
