Thank you Tails Wx - the simplified manual was a good contribution to my list of Wikipedia-related bookmarks 😊 AVAVAYA (talk) 11:30, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Happy editing! :) Tails Wx 12:10, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A brownie for you![edit]

Good work on Thomas Sinkjær. I have now moved the page to mainspace. I hope you continue editing with us; academics are a bit negected on Wikipedia, so it would be nice to see a friendly face. It was fun working with you :) Schminnte (talk • contribs) 15:04, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Schminnte. Making the page took quite some effort, so I appreciate your enthusiasm and support. I thought it was wonderful to have a mentor. I think I will do other academics, especially from Danish universities (I saw some Wikipedia project improving the coverage of academics that I perhaps would like to join and support - I can't find it again, unfortunately). What is the next step for a newbie like me? I took great pleasure in "cracking the code" wrt. a lot of things - from utilizing templates, and mechanisms like 'Authority Control' and 'Categories', to understanding the importance of the Wikidata Knowledge Graph. However, there is still so much to learn about how Wikipedia works, and the dos and don'ts, that I feel almost dwarfed. Will you be my mentor on my next page?

All the best, AVAVAYA (talk) 22:29, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can certainly help if you need anything, more of an informal arrangement? Just ask on my talk page if you need help understanding a policy or anything else :) Schminnte (talk • contribs) 07:26, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
