Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Skynxnex (talk) 19:02, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you're German-English bilingual. If you're looking for any particular backlogs to help with, WP:PNT always, always needs help. I linked the German-specific category above. Feel free to reply here if you have any questions about this kind of work. I'm happy to help. This is one of the things I started out doing when I joined. :) -- asilvering (talk) 20:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, HCR24! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:50, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi DoubleGrazing - thanks for pointing this out. And thanks for saying this should, really, be notable. Sadly Gerstäcker does get all the heat he deserves, in Germany more so than in the US, and the prize a quite a thing in Germany, but again, in the US, not so much, not too many people have heard of it here. I wanted to help change that, but what you say is perfectly fair and, also, as it turned out, correct. I cannot seem to find any relevant secondary US sources that report on the prize itself (rather than the individual winners), so thanks for pointing that out!
