Welcome!

Hello, DreamingKoala, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Hi Shalor, thank you for the warm welcome to the world of Wikipedia. I appreciate all of your future help through this process and sources you left available for my use. This is my first time working with Wikipedia and I am slightly terrified. I did the trainings so I hope this response is done correctly.

Hello, DreamingKoala!

Two things that stood out on your User page:

• Your mention and picture of Steve Irwin. He seems to be one of the few celebrities that was universally liked; I don't think I've heard a single bad thing about him. My favorite clip of his is when he gets bit by a snake and doesn't even seem fazed.
• One of your possible articles you listed is HH Holmes. I only recently heard about him since moving to Illinois a few years ago, and his story is super intriguing. I've heard that a movie is in the works. If you haven't already, you should check out this cartoon drawing of what the hotel's layout was like. CGregorio (talk) 02:54, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

I love that clip. I was always fascinated by Steve Irwin, even when I was a kid.

H.H. Holmes is someone that I never really heard of until I moved to Illinois as well during the last year or so. The whole concept behind who he was is just mind blowing to me, at one point he was even thought of to have been Jack the Ripper. Thank you for sharing that hotel map.
