Still Invisible Editathon

[edit]

Hello again, HLeaper! Thank you so much for taking part in the Still Invisible editathon. We created 3 new articles, and improved 17! 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, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. 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:

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.

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!

Thank you! I dream of horses

[edit]

Hi I dream of horses I'm just working out how to use talk, so apologies if I haven't quite got it right! Thank you for your kind welcome. I'm looking forward to using wikipedia more and to giving a show and tell for my colleagues in the hope that they will want to too.

I have begun to learn in order to be able to raise the visibility and improve access to records of women artists, in conjunction with this conversation that I coordinated and commissioned for the journal I edit. I hope you might find it interesting! http://www.britishartstudies.ac.uk/issues/issue-index/issue-2/still-invisible. Lots of the contributors also came to the event (we were trained by Sara Thomas, a wikimedian in residence at Scottish museums.

Best wishes, Hana
