Hello, Marquismorales, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply


Your edits to Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/Black owned newspapers

edit

Hi Marquis, thanks for the edits to Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/Black owned newspapers. I see you are doing a great job using the format at the Washington State page to newspapers on this page. It's most useful when we can collect links for papers that don't have an article yet; if you're able to do that for one or two of the "red linked" articles, that would be super helpful -- and if you do that I'll try to follow up and assemble an article, or at least a draft, on one that you pick in the next few days. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

News On Wiki check-in

edit

Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.

We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.

As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State. Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text "[[User:Peteforsyth]] and [[User:Shanluan]]" so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.

We hope to hear from you soon! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:49, 30 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
