Don Wizlon

Welcome!

Hi, Don Wizlon. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit the teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or . buidhe 18:34, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate your contribution to Slansky trial, but all content has to be supported by reliable sources. We also try to use recent sources because not all aspects of the trial were known in the 1970s. buidhe 18:36, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs

Thank you for your recent articles, including Henryk Domski, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. This can be also done through this helpful user script: User:SD0001/DYK-helper. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:06, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

Thank you for your recent articles, including Henryk Domski, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:06, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Consider linking to other language Wikipedias

I see you are writing a lot about people from non-English-speaking countries.

When you edit, consider checking other-language Wikipedias for pages about the same person. If they exist, click on the "Languages" link on the left side of your web browser to link the two articles. If you are using a mobile browser, I'm not sure where the "languages" link is, but it should be there somewhere.

When you link the pages, the edit will be on Wikidata, not Wikipedia. For example, I recently linked Mark Gai because I found ru:Гай, Марк Исаевич. You won't see my edit in the page history on the English Wikipedia or for that matter in the Russian one, but you will see it in the page history on WikiData (diff). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Translations

If you are fluent in Russian, Polish, or another language, please consider translating articles from those Wikipedias to English, or vice-versa. Please see Wikipedia:Translation for instructions. In particular, care must be taken to preserve copyright attribution. This is most commonly done with the {{translated page}} template. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:58, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ivan Zaporozhets has been accepted

Ivan Zaporozhets, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Julius Martov, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jayjg ^(talk) 16:41, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Will do, Jayig. I'm using notes taken from the Getzler biography of Martov. I'll have to refer back to get the relevant page numbers.
