Welcome!
[edit]Hello, S0793217, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

DYK nomination of Silke Bühler-Paschen
[edit]Thank you so much for nominating the new Silke Bühler-Paschen page for DYK! --AthalGolwen (talk) 00:18, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Women in Red
[edit]Hi there, S0793217, and welcome to Women in Red. It's always good to have members from WikiEdu. I see you have already made many constructive additions to existing women's biographies. When you feel like creating biographies yourself, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:26, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Silke Bühler-Paschen
[edit]![]() | On 23 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Silke Bühler-Paschen, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Silke Bühler-Paschen was the first woman to become a full professor of physics at TU Wien in 2005? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Silke Bühler-Paschen. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Misuse of talk pages
[edit]Wikipedia is not a soapbox. No matter what you "think" of something, unless you can provide reliable sources to support your stance regarding the "truth" of something, then that's irrelevant. Talk page discussions should be kept focused on improving the article: and without reliable sources, you can't really improve an article. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:17, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- You have no reliable sources. You have allegations that the media pushes with no expert opinions or even an investigation, you have lies, and all that is 'protected' and not allowed to be edited. You are correct, though-- Wikipedia is not a soapbox-- it is a dumpster of poorly sourced propagandist beliefs. Cheers, S0793217 (talk) 01:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- WP:RS defines what reliable sources are. If the "media" all say the same thing (and heck, if even China and India condemn the massacres), then that is what is "true" for the purposes of Wikipedia. See WP:VNT. If they're all wrong, well, too bad, that's not Wikipedia's problem at that stage. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:31, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- A reliable source of information would be a report from an investigation of potential war crimes by the International Criminal Court, for instance. Which is why nothing, until an investigation has taken place, can be interpreted as 'facts'. Wikipedia is not a place for sensational news stories. S0793217 (talk) 01:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- That's not what "reliable" means on Wikipedia. Reliable means "has a reputation for accurate fact-checking and not spreading misinformation". Most news sources (except maybe those on either extreme, which have a reputation for partisanship and sensationalism over accuracy) fit this definition.

Controversial topic area alert
[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}}
on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Ribbon of Saint George, you may be blocked from editing. — Newslinger talk 03:13, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ribbon of Saint George. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Newslinger talk 03:13, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi S0793217! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Ribbon of Saint George that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. — Newslinger talk 03:19, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
[edit]![]() |
Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
