Χαίρετε!
Hello, random Wikipedian!
Don't hesitate to leave a (constructive) comment related to
my work on Wikipedia, which is presented on my user page;
do propose an idea for a new article or a translation
of an English article into Greek (and vice versa) if you like.
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, L'OrfeoGreco, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially your edits to Lili Zografou. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:
- Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
- Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
- Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
- Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
- Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
- Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
- Add headings with ==double equal signs==
- If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a table of contents.
- Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can delete {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
- ===subheadings are similar===
- When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
- If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
- ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes''' Bold.
Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects by topic, alternatively the talkpages of articles you are interested in may have links to relevant Wikiprojects.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this adds your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! ϢereSpielChequers 22:00, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for September 30
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Nausicaa (opera), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greek. 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.)

Your GA nomination of Nausicaa (opera)
[edit]Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Nausicaa (opera) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Your GA nomination of Nausicaa (opera)
[edit]The article Nausicaa (opera) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Nausicaa (opera) for comments about the article, and Talk:Nausicaa (opera)/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Well done!
[edit]Excellent work on Nausicaa, mate! Congrats! Cinadon36 09:29, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Cinadon36 Thank you my en.wikipedia-mentor! I was somewhat unfamiliar with the en.wiki processes, and you introduced me to the whole thing, made me feel welcome you did. Your help has been most valuable to me! L'OrfeoSon io 12:49, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Seasons Greetings!
[edit]Hello there, thanks for all of your contributions to Wikipedia! Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and here's to a happy and productive 2024! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:19, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's so kind of you, @Dr. Blofeld! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too! L'OrfeoSon io 18:35, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Direct links to Google books?
[edit]Hi. I just saw this edit where you added a link to the Google Books page for a book reference. Has the guidance on that changed? That used to be discouraged, on the grounds that we shouldn't be promoting one online book source over others. The ISBN automatically links to a search page that can locate the book on Google Books and several other services. Srleffler (talk) 19:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- A very interesting point indeed. Truth be spoken, I just did what other WP contributors did. I suspect that when the book is (semi)freely available, as is the case with Internet Archive books, we can add a URl to IntArchive? Other than that, your rationale seems logical. However, I really don't know when such a rule was established or perhaps banished. In any case, we could either remove all URLs from the sources, or leave the Internet Archive ones or... sth else? What's your say? L'OrfeoSon io 19:44, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Lasers
[edit]Hey, thanks for the thanks you sent me a bit earlier tonight. I notice you did/do a lot of editing on the Laser article, so I'll refrain from messing with it for awhile. Thx again, and regards.😏👍🏼 GuccizBud (talk) 10:20, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- @GuccizBud So kind of you to communicate your intentions to me! In fact, I was delighted to see you and other Wikipedians joining the process. At the moment, I am not working on an extensive makeover, so I would actually urge you to make as many rectifications as you desire! L'OrfeoSon io 10:29, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
