Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Solarra, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. We are all equals here and we value the input of the newest editors as much as our oldest contributors. If you need any help at all, let me know <3!

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't vandalize   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks   Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

GLAM

Hi there, I noticed you are an archivist. Please take a look at the GLAM project if you haven't already. Sometimes librarians and archivists get into trouble adding links to their resource collections like you have been doing (and end up getting blocked for spamming!). I can't find a link to a specific page about this right now, but feel free to ask a GLAM person for help. Cheers, Valfontis (talk) 18:20, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Here is a link to an old essay: User:Beetstra/Archivists. Here is a Wikimedia page about adding links: Linking for GLAMs. And here is a higher-level discussion: Wikipedia:Advice for the cultural sector. Valfontis (talk) 18:32, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for the resources and advice! I have recently been in contact with librarians and archivists at other institutions that are part of the GLAM project and am trying to stay as informed as possible about Wikipedia policies and issues of conflict of interest, so the articles about linking were especially helpful. Thanks again! Kflynn2015 (talk) 18:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

June 2014

Hello, I'm Excirial. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Khirbet Qana, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 20:17, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank

Thank you for the Khirbet Qana article. I didn't think the link would turn blue so soon. trespassers william (talk) 15:28, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback,trespassers william! Kflynn2015 (talk) 15:11, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

Hello, I'm Solarra. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Khirbet Qana, with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ♥ Solarra ♥ ^{♪ 話 ♪} ߷ _{♀ 投稿 ♀} 20:25, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Solarra- Thanks! It was indeed a mistake- I definitely did not mean to remove all the content from the article. Thank you for restoring it. Still figuring out the mechanics of Wikipedia :/ Kflynn2015 (talk) 20:28, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

I left you some useful links that should help explain some of the more generic Wikipedia Policies. ♥ Solarra ♥ ^{♪ 話 ♪} ߷ _{♀ 投稿 ♀} 20:45, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Edwin M. Randall Jr., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page General Conference. 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
