Welcome to Wikipedia, CrocodileUnderling!

I'm Tesseractic and I want to welcome you to Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is an amazing community adventure which is constantly being edited. There are many different versions of Wikipedia for many different languages, and the English version has 6,821,000 articles which are written by volunteers like you and me! We even have a newspaper, The Signpost, to keep you up to date with news and new developments. Making your first steps on Wikipedia can be hard sometimes, so if you need any help, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page or ask a question on your talk page . Someone will help you soon!

Wikipedia has five pillars which summarise Wikipedia's fundamental principles:

1. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia
2. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view
3. Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute
4. Editors should treat each other with respect and civility
5. Wikipedia has no firm rules

I hope you have a good time here on Wikipedia, whether reading or contributing.

Date your tags

Hello, this is User:2003 LN6. I have noticed your contributions, and I thank you. However, I have seen that the {{cn}} tags that you use are undated, meaning they do not specify the date they were placed. A bot will later clean this up, but it would be greatly appreciated if they were done yourself by adding "|date=April 2024" (or whatever is the date in format of month/year at the time of tagging) directly after the "n" in the "cn" tag. Thank you and happy editing! 2003 LN6 04:45, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for making me aware, I am a relatively new editor so your advice is greatly appreciated. CrocodileUnderling (talk) 04:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

My advice is somewhat contrary to that of 2003LN6; if a bot will fix it, let the bot do the drudge work so that you spend time on the things that the bots don't do! Klbrain (talk) 17:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi CrocodileUnderling. Thank you for your work on Neurorealism. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for starting this interesting page on what seems to be a cognitive bias. When linking to scientific or news article, it's often a good idea to use the citation templates, which can be filled quite quickly using tools available on the Wiki. These often provide links and reduce the risk of link-rot over time.

@Klbrain:

Thank you so much for your comments, Klbrain. I was wondering whether or not the article would be acceptable by Wikipedia's standards. Thanks for the feedback. CrocodileUnderling (talk) 19:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I certainly think that it's a helpful page. One of the key criteria for inclusion is whether there are at least two independent reliable sources discussing it with significant coverage, and that certainly seems to be the case here. As you imagine in any community, opinions vary, but I think that it's worth including. I also couldn't find a suitable broader topic that it could form part of; the existing subpages of cognitive bias didn't seem quite right. Klbrain (talk) 08:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi CrocodileUnderling. Thank you for your work on Richard Christie (psychologist). Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for starting this page for an influential mid-20th century psychologist. Professorship at Columbia, books and NYT biography help to establish notability.
