Moved your inquiry

Hello! I moved your inquiry about reliability of sources to the reliable sources noticeboard, which is a better place for such queries. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 16:49, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Your userpage

Hi Bappy, I'd like to suggest that you write something on your userpage, so that it doesn't show up red when editing or posting, and also because it looks friendlier and more knowledgeable with a message. I suggest that you put this on it. :) Softlavender (talk) 17:46, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Tips and tricks :)

Tip of the day...

Beware of instruction creep

Also called instructionitis, instruction creep is the tendency of instructions to grow and grow, until they become so long and complex that nobody wants to read them. When editing help pages, or instructions for Wikipedia's departments, please make them clear and concise, reducing them whenever possible.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

This is a template, and you can move it to your userpage if you prefer. The template and some other similar ones are listed here: WP:Tip of the day#Tip templates. (The tip today is kind of a bore.) I will post the Wikipedia Adventure for you below, which is a fun way to learn. -- Softlavender (talk) 18:34, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Dear ::@The Drover's Wife:, dear ::@Kb.au:, Thank you so much for your precious guidance. That first submission experience taught me a lot. But I'm kind of frustrated when I look at Jeff Watson's page (a personality that I mentioned in my submission), specifically on its references that are quite poor and contains one I used. What's your opinion about it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Watson_(designer)
