Welcome!

Hello Ben morphett, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Avoiding common mistakes
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Dolphin (t) 11:21, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: Thanks for your work on Wendy Lewis (writer)

You're welcome. The article needs more detailed citations than just bare URLs, but other than that, it's pretty good! Graham87 00:29, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

But don't add a book that she co-authored to the further reading section when only a few pages of the book actually discuss the subject, like you did at federation of Australia. I'm wondering: do you have any personal association with Wendy Lewis? If so, read up on the conflict of interest guidelines. Graham87 00:48, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Please format the links from "bare url" to "[url title] author publisher date accessdate" or use the Template:Cite web, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:42, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. I personally think she's notable enough for Wikipedia, but other Wikipedians might disagree with me, so be prepared for that. As for the COI notice, just write a short note on the talk page, stating that you're Wendy's husband. I think you did a good job on the article, especially in writing it neutrally and verifiably. Graham87 11:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

More recommendations: The lead should be just a summary, no references there, but - preferably to expanded biography - in the article itself. I personally find it irritating to read a sentence starting with a book title, would prefer something like "Her book ..." or "Her novel ...". - Personal note: my first article was about a friend (deleted within minutes, but revived), and my last one also on someone I know, another Australian, Lyndon Watts, I think it's no problem to know the subject if you keep the text factual, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roland Berrill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lincoln College (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Mary Baker Eddy

I once dated a Christian Scientist girl... She was insane. She wouldn't take advil, but took birth control? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.46.2.8 (talk) 03:50, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Yeah, your girlfriend sounds a bit mad. But you can't judge a whole religion based on one of them. I'm not a Christian Scientist (not religious at all), but I thought that what you did to the Wikipedia article was unfair, so I wanted to correct it.

Taxonomy templates

Hi. Thanks for all your work converting taxoboxes. Just one note, when you create a taxonomy template the "refs" parameter is for a link to a website referencing the taxonomy of the taxon, not the authority as you have been doing (tbh most people don't bother with it, but I like to use it). Cheers. YorkshireExpat (talk) 10:37, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for that explanation, and yes, I didn’t understand that point. I’ll keep that in mind in future. Ben morphett (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC) Ben morphett (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
