  • 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, Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:28, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Mindy Kaling

Hey @MoreWomenOnWiki, I saw your edit summary on Mindy Kaling's article about fixing the "Awards and nominations" table, and I found the problem to be that someone had previously removed the "Award" column and also removed the reference rows, causing the errors. I have fixed the problems, and thank you for raising the issue. Also welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks, vistadan 19:49, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

:Thank you so much, vistadan! So helpful! Really appreciate the warm welcome and help on my first day using Wikipedia! :-) MoreWomenOnWiki (talk) 19:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

File:Information orange.svg Hello, MoreWomenOnWiki, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as {{User|InquisitiveWikipedian}}. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing.

:Hi, one and only one time I accidentally commented from my boyfriend's account on our shared computer, not realizing he was signed in. I immediately let that be known as soon as I spotted the error. Neither he nor I engaged any further in the discussion that was happening on which I accidentally commented under his account, so as not to cause any further issues. Please accept my apologies again. I can't imagine this will ever be an issue again as 1) I have learned my lesson to not be so careless. 2) We have completely different lanes of interest, as I am purely interested in creating more pages on Wikipedia of notable women, which is not his interest. 3) I have personally found Wikipedia not to be quite as enjoyable as I imagined. It's great for some people, but it's not really for me (no offense to Wikipedia, I've learned it's just not really my thing, but it's good to have at least explored and figured that out). So, basically, I plan on only participating extremely little on here, if at all; I won't even really be around to make any more mistakes.

:Again, I'm very sorry, and I'm sorry if there were a better way I should've handled the situation. I hope my error doesn't negatively affect him. Have a great day! MoreWomenOnWiki (talk) 15:54, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

{{Re|Darth Stabro}} Hey Darth! Just wanted to say 2 things really fast. 1) I'm sorry again about my mistake yesterday in accidentally commenting on my boyfriend's account. I just wasn't thinking and didn't realize he was signed in. I feel really bad about my carelessness and didn't mean to start any issues. We both got warnings on our talk pages. It wasn't my intention to do anything bad or get him (or myself) in trouble. And I hope it can be shown by me immediately trying to clear it up, and by not adding anything more to the discussion that it wasn't meant in any sort of nefarious way.

2) I can see from the discussion that it looks like Ally Louks is indeed going to be deleted. While of course I'm disappointed, I understand the arguments people were making and I appreciate that at the end of the day you're probably just trying to make wikipedia better, even if that means the article I wrote can't stand. Maybe in the future, an article for her will make sense, if she continues to get coverage for different things. Have a great day! MoreWomenOnWiki (talk) 16:04, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

:No worries and no hard feelings! I didn't mean for you to get a warning like you did above, I just wanted it noted for the record so that it didn't count as a second vote, so to speak, which I know you didn't want either. I saw the whole thing with Dr. Louks go down on Twitter and was abhorred at the way she was treated, she's obviously a very passionate person about what she believes in. But, looking at the Wikipedia notability policies as written, she doesn't seem to qualify - yet. She very well could be going places and merit an article in the future! ~{{Smallcaps|Darth Stabro}}Talk{{nbsp}}•{{nbsp}}Contribs 16:19, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

::Yeah, I have no idea how the Wikipedia warnings work, but hopefully, assuming no other weird issues on mine or his part in the future, everything is copacetic for both of our accounts. And agreed about the treatment toward Dr. Louks, but hey at least the silver lining is that her research was catapulted into a much more public sphere, which as a researcher, I'm hoping she loves! MoreWomenOnWiki (talk) 16:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

You're doing great!

Hello @MoreWomenOnWiki - I just wanted to drop by and say how great you are doing. Having articles nominated for deletion that you've worked hard on can be really disheartening, and I was sad to read your user page, as you've made some great contributions so far, especially Anna Hoffman.

When I started editing, I faced some challeneges too and I got given some advice, which was really useful: start with dead people (!) There's quite a lot of people in Women in Red who don't edit about living people at all and it can be great way to learn the ropes, whilst avoiding the issues that have come up recently. Another tip I recommend is using national biographical dictionaries - if a woman is in one she's likely notable enough for here. If you do decide editing isn't for you, I hope you continue to find joy as a reader and that you get to excercise your great research skills elsewhere Lajmmoore (talk) 22:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Tip of the month:

  • When creating biographies, don't forget to use Template:DEFAULTSORT.
    Accessible from "Wiki markup" at the foot of the page being edited,
    it allows categories to be listed under the subject's family name rather than their first or given name.
