Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 07:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Monica A. Driscoll

I've just marked the page Monica A. Driscoll as reviewed. Thank you for taking the time to write it! I've marked it as a "Start" class for now, but you said you'd like to expand it? That sounds like a great idea. Too few women academics have articles here, and it's lovely seeing somebody closing the gap.

And, personally, I love the idea that we live in an age where somebody can put 3,600 worms in a rocket and do actual, scientific research on it. [1] Could you imagine telling that to our ancestors, hundreds of years ago? GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 23:53, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing and cleaning it up some! I ran out of time and had to shut down my computer to rush to a meeting but I figured it was in a good enough state to hit go. (Hence publishing in a slightly unfinished state.) Cyanochic (talk) 00:03, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NAS Scientists

After responding to your post at the Teahouse, I took a look at your list of "to-dos" from the NAS scientists. You may find it helpful that some are already listed at Wikidata and if they had articles in any foreign-language sources, the Wikidata item would show that and may show other links, e.g. to ORCHID. You can even Wikilink to such items, using the {{ill}} template. Hence Barry Ganetzky [Wikidata], for example. (See source code for details.) I'm a Brit, so if you are looking to expand your redlist, you can always look for anyone who is/was an FRS. Best of luck! Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah thank you for this tip! I've been trying pretty hard to make sure no red links are for a page that actually exists, but I hadn't thoguht about searching Wikidata or other language Wikipedias for other information yet. I only just started to understand Wikidata through the authority control template recently. Maybe I'll turn to FRS after finishing NAS lists :) Cyanochic (talk) 18:36, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
