Hello Eddy! How are you doing?

I’m a bit new to Wikipedia Editing, do you have any tips for me? Thank you! --Mimiwriter13 (talk) 10:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mimiwriter13! Be friendly, take criticism as well as you can, and don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask questions. Just be ready to learn from them! Everything else is secondary. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 00:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eddie891 I've taken note of this! Thank you so much! Currently getting attuned with the platform, writing and editing! It's been nice so far! Mimiwriter13 (talk) 08:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Eddie, it's nice to meet you. I just have one question: where can we get information from to edit or add to articles? --Naples-eon Bismark III (talk) 17:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Naples-eon Bismark III, you can find information pretty much anywhere you can search. Where you find good sources depends a bit on what subject area you're trying to edit, but you generally want to use sources that are peer reviewed and reputable (for instance, newspapers, journals, books). Hopefully that's helpful. If you have some more specific questions, I'd be happy to specify. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 00:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy birthday! Hi Eddie891! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday! Enjoy this special day! The Herald (Benison) (talk) 02:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello do facts need sources too thanks. --Good man Nicholas (talk) 06:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The third round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 June. As with Round 2, this round was competitive: each of the 16 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 256 points.

The following editors all scored more than 400 points in Round 3:

• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,059 points, mostly from 1 featured article on DeLancey W. Gill, 11 good articles, 18 did you know nominations, and dozens of reviews;
• Skyshifter (submissions) with 673 points, mostly from 2 featured articles on Worlds (Porter Robinson album) and I'm God, 5 good articles, and 2 did you know nominations;
• Sammi Brie (submissions) with 557 points, mostly from 1 featured article on KNXV-TV, 5 good articles, and 8 did you know nominations; and
• AryKun (submissions) with 415 points, mostly from 1 featured article on Great cuckoo-dove, with a high number of bonus points from that article.

The full scores for round 3 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 28 featured articles, 38 featured lists, 240 good articles, 92 in the news credits, and at least 285 did you know credits. They have conducted 279 featured article reviews, as well as 492 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 22 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed during Round 4, which starts on 1 July at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hello, Eddie891! Since you are listed as an active member of the United States Presidents WikiProject, would you mind leaving a comment at a project talk page discussion about a series of templates that I created for the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush? Another editor and myself disagree about whether there should be a separate navigation template for each Presidency apart from the biographical navigation template. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 22:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
