| She comes from Brazil |
| Skyshifter |
| Editor of the Week for the week beginning September 22, 2024 |
Most editors would agree Skyshifter deserves recognition for the tireless work she has been putting into the encyclopedia over the past few months. She has promoted 27 good articles — 17 of them in the last six months — as well as three featured articles, among them being  Worlds (Porter Robinson album) and OneShot Her focus has been primarily on music and video game–related topics. She also put a lot of time into Brazilian cultural topics, a largely underrepresented area of content on the English Wiki. English is not her first language and yet she provides excellent service to the project.

Conversations with a Newbie
[edit]I found this in the archives:
- They are proud of their work so don't degrade it. It may be completely trash, but it's their trash. And if someone else rightfully degrades it, help explain to the newbie why it is not an attack!.
- What's their first impression of how they are treated? Are they attacked or are they approached with respect?
- "Get to work" or "Get out of town" don't work in RL. They certainly don't work here
- A gentle reminder that "This is an encyclopedia, not Facebook"
- Be A Welcome Wagon.... barnstars, userboxes, WikiLove, Meet-N-Greet....Teahouse, etc. Use an available tool to assist their earliest ventures into editing Wikipedia.
- Help them set up a User Page. They learn some of the basic editing skills, hands-on training. Have them do the work. Setting up a User page creates a place that they belong, a place that they create. If nothing else, a user page might be the "hook" that keeps them involved.
