Tip of the day...

Spoken Wikipedia

There is an ongoing effort to create a number of Wikipedia articles that can be listened to instead of read. Many users can greatly benefit from this feature and there is a constant need for contributors.  

See Spoken articles for the current list of completed articles. This is a hidden category and is not shown unless the corresponding user preference 'Show hidden categories' is set. Do not include this category in article content categories.

Hyphens

Also, please be aware of Wikipedia's Manual of Style for hyphens, which says "Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) ...". Chris the speller ^yack 15:01, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Chris. Thanks for the advice! Duly noted. Thinklad.x (talk) 16:20, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Media request

Hello Thinklad.x, I am a journalist currently working on a piece about Wikipedia pages of asset management companies. I have stressed that you've been editing a few of them and I would like to discuss about your experience of editing these pages. Is there any way I can reach you in private ? Best.
