Welcome!

		Hello, ASociologist, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I noticed you have an interest in editing on LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning)-related topics, and I hope today's Editathon will encourage you to participate, and become a regular and valuable contributor. Should you decide to stick around, you might wish to join our LGBT studies project. Meanwhile, here are some pages you might find helpful: Useful Wikipedia links: Wikipedia:Introduction The Wikipedia Adventure (fun interactive tour) Your first article Easy Referencing for Beginners Simplified Manual of Style The five pillars of Wikipedia Links for Wikipedia's LGBT studies Project: Guidelines for writing about LGBT-themed subjects How to write about transgender and non-binary people Categories for LGBT articles Editing biographies of living persons Wikipedia:Writing about women
		I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Feel free to make test edits in the sandbox. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) This automatically inserts your name and the date. If you get stuck, please see our help pages. If you can't find what you are looking for there, feel free to ask at the Teahouse or at the LGBT Project's Talk Page. Alternatively, contact me on my talk page, or place {{Help me}} on this page and someone will drop by to assist you. Again, welcome! Nick Moyes (talk) 15:06, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia Research

It was a pleasure to meet with you at the Warwick University editing event and to learn about your PhD research into Editathon and Meetup interactions and effectiveness. I mentioned a Wikimedia Foundation person who undertakes related research into editor retention. Should you wish to make contact, you can reach Jonathan Morgan by either their volunteer page at User:Jtmorgan, or via their work name of User:Jmorgan (WMF). I am sure you're already aware of it, but there is a summary of all known Wikipedia-focussed research at m:Research:Newsletter.

All the best, and feel free to get back in touch if I can ever be of assistance. Nick Moyes (talk) 10:38, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
