WikiProject Guyana

Hi there!

I noticed you've been doing some great work on some Guyana-related articles. Is there any chance you would like to join up to WikiProject Guyana? All best, Lorelei (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello again! Thank you for getting back to me so fast :) Firstly, thanks so much for the work you've done already: coverage of Guyana on wikipedia is really not great at the moment and these contributions you've made already are hugely appreciated :) Also, I just thought I'd say, I know when I first started doing bits of work on Wikipedia I thought that I wouldn't be able to do much as I'd only be able to work on (the few) articles that related to things I had some expertise in. I've realised over the last few months though that you really don't have to be an expert to work on an article - if you're interested in it, that's enough, and it can be a chance to learn more. I think it's true to say that's the case with all the articles I've worked on: I've started off knowing a bit or having an interest and then by the end of the article I've learnt loads more! Please don't take this as my trying to talk you into doing anything - you should do exactly what suits you on wikipedia of course, and as much or little as suits you - but I thought I'd say it just because I'm really pleased I've stuck around and realised that I can work on all sorts of articles. What counts most really is the editing skills I think and understanding how a good article is put together - and you already have that, clearly (the Hew Locke article is ace). And coverage of contemporary Guyanese art - indeed art in Guyana in general - has loads of gaps, and lots of articles that could do with improvements (like Stanley Greaves, for example)...

At any rate, whatever you decide to do - thanks so much for the work you've done.

Oh, and thank you for thinking of someone else to contact. Yes, Aymatth (who created the Donald Locke article; and one on the Working People's Art Class) is from what I've seen an amazing editor and an absolute expert on everything (not just Guyana!!)

All best,
