Welcome!

Hello, Bmati88, 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:21, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your contribution

edit

Hi Bmati, I noticed your report at Talk:Daily Digest for African Americans. This is really helpful information, thank you for doing the research and reporting back on the wiki! Would you mind moving this comment to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Newspapers? It's more likely to be noticed by others working on this topic there. A talk page for an article that doesn't exist (where you posted it) is likely to get deleted as part of routine maintenance; Wikipedia policy generally says we shouldn't have talk pages for articles that haven't been created yet. I want to make sure the next person who tries to start this article can have the benefit of seeing your report, if possible! Thanks again, -Pete Forsyth (talk) 07:16, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

News On Wiki check-in

edit

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.

We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.

As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State. Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text "[[User:Peteforsyth]] and [[User:Shanluan]]" so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.

We hope to hear from you soon! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:48, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
