Hello Katya0133, and welcome to Wikipedia! The first thing you should know is that we encourage you to be bold. Feel free to edit and improve articles, by clicking any 'edit' link.
If you'd like to test what Wikipedia can do, check out the sandbox - just type and save the page and your text will appear. That's the beauty of a Wiki.
For more information check out our tutorial - it's designed with newcomers in mind, as is the help section. If you'd like to get involved with current projects, have a look at the Community Portal. There are always tasks for users to do, ranging from copyediting to expanding stubs.
I hope you'll enjoy your time here, but be warned, it can become addictive! Feel free to message me, I'm more than happy to help. As an added tip, sign any message you post so users know that you've said it. To do so is delightfully simple, just use the wikicode ~~~~.
Once again, welcome!
Welsh
[edit]Ah hah! When I saw that you'd taken Welsh (on the Language Desk page), I had a hunch there was some link to BYU (and your edit history confirms this). I also took Welsh there, under both Athro Dennis and Athro Taylor. The Jade Knight 07:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Please don't remove the picture requested lines from the project templates. They are fine there. They should not be removed and replaced with the standalone templates. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Kent
[edit]In my opinion, anyone who is frequently cited as a reference is significant to have their own page. Thmazing (talk) 02:32, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Kent
[edit]So I knew when I started Kent's article he was of iffy notability, but now I feel like instead of a discussion on the merits of the question, someone's just mad at me. Would you mind weighing in, yea or nay? Thmazing (talk) 23:26, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
January 2015
[edit]Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to August 4, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 18:33, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Interest in November editing meetup?
[edit]I'm thinking of holding an edit-a-thon this month (November), but this time for a group of interested, local editors. We could work on some Japan pages as part of Asian month. I know November can be a busy month--would you be interested in participating? What days/times work best for you? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:11, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- After an unproductive summer, I'm trying to get my stats up for the year, so I'll be working a lot of extra hours until the end of the year. But I might be interested in a meetup next year. Katya (talk) 02:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 9
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Henry Hohauser, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lawrence, New York (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:24, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:1976 United States presidential electors
[edit]A tag has been placed on Category:1976 United States presidential electors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!
