Dear Liz,

Again, welcome! I have taken the liberty of adding two fairly standard templates here at your talk page; however, it's obviously your prerogative to remove them if you don't like them (in which case, I hope to be forgiven...

).

With kind regards;

Dear Liz
I hope you are keeping well?
I noticed today that you submitted your very first draft article for review and, although it was not accepted first time around and needs more work done to it, I thought it looked like a very good effort so far. I have applied a few changes to it today, which you can review by clicking on the article's View history button, to check my edit summaries (please forgive me if I am over-emphasising processes you already know ).
In fact, if I may so bold as to offer one piece of unsolicitied advice (), I would suggest that you consider adding an edit summary every time you apply an editorial change. Edit summaries help other editors to review, at a glance, changes that were applied to any article or page. Adding an edit summary with every change you make will also help to remind you of all the changes you've made to several articles in one long editing session, for example, by clicking on your Contributions button.
Finally, please know that your fellow editors are also here to help you. So, don't hesitate to use any of the facilities available to us all for seeking and receiving assistance from our peers (see above). And take heart: as "newbies" (), we all started from the same point and were often able to make rapid progress by asking for help when we felt stuck or frustrated. If you wish, I'd be very happy to work with you on your draft article about Yolanda Mercy, but will stay away if you'd rather work on your own.
So, Liz, good luck and very best wishes with your efforts here, and thank you for your contributions to our encyclopedia.
With kind regards;

Hi Patrick Pdebee, thank you so much for this, I really appreciated your earlier input - never got around to continuing with this until now because I moved countries and things were hectic! But I'd love to get this article back on track and updated to include new info as well. If your offer to collaborate on it still stands (I know it's been a long time since you offered!) I would love to take you up on that as well. Let me know! Lizswann13 (talk) 20:44, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Draft:Yolanda Mercy

I nominated Draft:Yolanda Mercy a day or so ago for G13 since it had not been edited in 6+ months. I wish you luck in working on it and have removed the notification from your talk page regarding it being nominated as it is no longer needed (since you reverted the edit citing that you plan to continue work on it). Just keep in mind that if drafts go unedited for extended periods of time (6 months or more) they run the risk of being tagged G13.

Happy editing!

thanks TheSandDoctor! Still learning my way around, so I appreciate your note. :) Lizswann13 (talk) 17:44, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lizswann13: You are very welcome! I am glad that I could help out! If you have any questions or whatnot feel free to drop myself or other editors a line (via our talk pages) or ask a question on the Teahouse. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 18:00, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Lizswann13! Thank you for your contributions. I am TheSandDoctor and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Your user page

While I do not know everything about Wikipedia (nor pretend to by any means) I do want to give a word of friendly advice regarding your user page regarding the "Full disclosure" section. It is good that you disclose that information. If you do create any articles like that, please do so within the drafts namespace and submit for review by the folks over at the AFC review board thingy (using {{AFC submission|T}} will generate the template with a button to submit a draft and can be read more about here). That way others review it.

On the talk page of the draft, I would also recommend disclosing it there as well before submission. If reviewers accept it, great! If not, then it just needs more work before you resubmit and they may have provided (a) helpful comment(s) etc. to assist you in improving it. If you ever have any questions for a reviewer who reviewed your draft, leave them on their talk page and be sure to link the draft (using something like [[:Draft:Draft Article name]] where, of course, "Draft Article name" is replaced with the title at the top of the page) within your message, it helps save them time in finding it.

Hope this helps and if you have any questions feel free to drop myself or any other editors a line on their talk pages.

As always, happy editing!

Your submission at Articles for creation

Hello. I just came across your Draft:Yolanda Mercy. It is quite good but it is lacking information about her birth date and place. Other than that, your draft is not bad, and you are welcome to notify me on my talk page when this issue is fixed so I can review it. L293D (☎ • ✎) 15:11, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
