Wiki Helpful Edits

Welcome!

Hello, Wiki Helpful Edits, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Your comments about me

I find your speculation about me on your user page a mite odd.

I have done over 40,000 edits on Wikipedia, of which just 10 were to the Word-of-mouth marketing page, and only four in the past decade. It is just one of over 5000 pages I have on my Wikipedia watchlist, so that I see when someone has edited it. Because the article is on a marketing topic, it is perhaps no surprise that it draws editors wanting to use it to promote their marketing services and the like, and several of my edits, including two in the past decade, were undoing such promotional efforts (this edit was dealing an editor who was editing multiple articles to steer people to their own blog; this was removing a claim sourced to a company that was selling services.) This is not some big stake in the page, but mundane editing for an experienced and involved Wikipedia editor. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Wiki Helpful Edits! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Word-of-mouth marketing that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 15:52, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm NatGertler. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Word-of-mouth marketing. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
