Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Kumar Sangakkara, have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, thanks for the welcome! I have been using the community portal and suggested edits on my user page to find articles to improve/edit. Also, I have been going through the guidelines and policies - there are quite a few! It'll take some time to take grasp all of them. I will keep all the points in my mind and will be careful next time. Thank you for the guidance. Gnome Scribes (talk) 21:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
No problem at all. If you have any questions for which there is no quick or easy answer, there is Wikipedia:Teahouse. I haven't used it myself yet, but there's no doubt the people there are very helpful. Best of luck. PearlyGigs (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I will surely check it. Gnome Scribes (talk) 21:25, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Women in Red

edit

Hi there, Gnome Scribes, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already made a good start with Joanna Jensen and look forward to many more. If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to look at the guidance in some of our essays, perhaps starting with the Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:00, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Thank you for the welcome and for reviewing the Joanna Jensen article. As of now, I am using the community portal and suggested edits on my user page to find articles about women. In addition, the requested articles and the WiR lists to find new topics to write about. I've been researching topics for notability, so will write about the ones I find most notable. Gnome Scribes (talk) 09:06, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
That sounds good. Just let me know if you need any help with your next draft.--Ipigott (talk) 07:31, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
