Climbing gyms
The references/sources need to relate/describe 'climbing gyms'. Providing a list of climbing gyms, unless they are notable establishments, doesn't establish notability. I hope that helps you out. Dan arndt (talk) 12:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

For asking what it means to be trouted I hereby whale you.
Smash!
You've been squished by a whale!
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something really silly.
Have a good day! Bobherry Talk Edits 14:57, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey, high time we turn these red links blue. Let's aim a bit higher than climbing gym. First things first, maybe--that patriarch, Lambier de Geer, or maybe Louys de Geer--what were the religious reasons? He couldn't be a hardcore Calvinist in Aachen? Drmies (talk) 00:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'll look into making those articles when I've got some free time to do so, I'm pretty busy with my studies at the minute but it'd be a good project to work on, thanks for letting me know. I don't actually have anything to do with the De Geer family myself, but since I named myself after one of it's members I suppose it's only fitting for me to give a good go at adding some more articles to the "family name". Maybe there's some content on the Dutch Wikipedia which could help? I'll look into it, should be good fun. DirkJandeGeer (щи) 00:26, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
wikibreak
I need to take a wikibreak, so I'm using WikBreakEnforcer to lock me out for a month. I'll be reachable after that point if anyone needs anything
Reverted comments
I had some notice that you apparently reverted comments about John smedley... As the comments were true and in line with other comments about how he destroyed games and game companies your reversion amounts to censorship... Did John pay you to revert the edits? I will put them back if you don't 71.87.34.78 (talk) 21:41, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, DirkJandeGeer, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to hear you intend to devote some of your editing time to improving our coverage of women in the history of science. I hope you will not just be working on existing articles but creating new ones. You'll find some useful guidance in our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:35, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, many thanks for your welcome. I'll have a look at the relevant guides and guidelines around making and expanding articles, and I'll let you know if I need some help. Many thanks for your thousands of contributions to Wikipedia, especially surrounding women in red.

Feedback for Draft New Article?
Hi, I see you're an active editor and member of the Spaceflight Wikiproject. I’m working on a rough draft of a new article here [1] for my satellite communications company E-Space, which I hope to submit to the Articles for Creation queue because as an E-Space employee I have a COI and can’t publish it on Wikipedia myself. But since I can see that the queue is very long and I want to have the best possible chance of approval when it gets submitted there, I was wondering if you might be willing to have a look at the draft and point out anything that needs to be improved first?
Thanks very much for your time! Talex000 (talk) 22:30, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

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! |
