Emilyjanehopkins, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Hi Emilyjanehopkins! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Come join other new editors at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a space where new editors can get help from other new editors. These editors have also just begun editing Wikipedia; they may have had similar experiences as you. Come share your experiences, ask questions, and get advice from your peers. I hope to see you there! Technical 13 (I'm a Teahouse host) Visit the Teahouse This message was delivered automatically by your robot friend, HostBot (talk) 16:29, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

SuggestBot suggestions

Hi, I'm the user who takes care of SuggestBot, and I noticed you asked the bot to suggest you some things to do. As you might have noticed, it has failed to do so. That happens because you have not edited any articles, therefore its algorithms are unable to suggest anything. Don't despair, there are ways to tell SuggestBot about your interests (in case you don't feel like editing a bunch of articles yet). You'll need to add articles or categories to SuggestBot's template, as described on this page. The SuggestBot will use those and find you similar things to work on. I'll go ahead and remove the current template as it's not doing much. And don't hesitate to ask me questions if something's unclear, I'll do my best to help you out!

Girl Geeks event

Thank you for being part of the Girl Geeks Wikipedia editing day on Sunday. I thought you might like a copy of the list we collected at the end of the day.

Things we learnt:

• How to link to specific sections of Wikipedia pages
• Learnt so much I'd never even thought about
• Useful place to publicly put what I've learnt academically, so it's not just in my head.
• Learnt how to share photos of kittens, and how to redirect.
• Learnt how to get inspiration for articles to start editing. Also playing around with templates.
• Always end up looking at something new on Wikipedia.
• Learnt about Lua, Wikimedia Commons and the community portal.
• Learnt about how Wikipedia handles original work (as opposed to copyright violations).
• Really quick and easy to sign up and to use the editing tools, and how to conduct yourself on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a common sense thing, rather than hard-and-fast rules.
• Wouldn't have looked at Wikipedia if there hadn't been a group of people to come together to work on it.
• Now know more about references and citations, what a reliable source is, etc.

I hope you continue to enjoy editing Wikipedia.

If you check your watchlist, you will also see notifications of events that are coming up. These appear near the top of the screen in big text. There is also a list of events on the Wikimedia UK website.
