Welcome, Gazingo!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Gazingo! I'm I dream of horses, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

September 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 18:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for this information. I see you are an administrator, could you please delete the John Winthrop (Connecticut) and John Winthrop (scientist) redirects, I made them trying to make space for the move but I don't think they are likely search terms. I moved the article as while John Winthrop the Younger is understood, he was commonly called John Winthrop Jr. in letters addressed to him in his own time. If it is not policy to move articles in such cases I apologize. Gazingo (talk) 18:58, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletions

Some of your proposed deletions are fine, but two are likely to be controversial, so I removed the tags. Go to WP:AfD if you feel strongly about it. Bearian (talk) 10:37, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly retract your AfD of History of the Jews in Cambodia

Hi, and welcome to WP. I have spent over twenty years gathering material to build up a comprehensive history of the Jews in all of the world's countries, see Category:Jewish history by country. Some countries are large and some are small. Some Jewish communities are likewise small or large or old and new, but still they are part of the Jewish history of those countries and of Jewish history and the Jews in general. See my response to your nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of the Jews in Cambodia: Your premise about the history of the Jews in any country, i.e. Jewish history, is wrong because Jews are ALWAYS a tiny minority compared to surrounding populations. For example, in the world today there are about seven billion people while there are only about 15 million Jews on planet Earth. Yet Jews are to be found everywhere and they always make WP:N contributions to their host nations regardless if they arrived there fifty years ago or five hundred years ago and regardless if they amount to 500 people or 500,000 people. Please note WP:DONOTDEMOLISH! Therefore, kindly withdraw your nomination because it interferes with the goal of building a comprehensive history of the Jews in all countries and nations on WP, no matter how large or small those Jewish communities are they are all part of the Jewish People who are a tiny, yet very much WP:N nationality and religious group in the world both historically and in the present! Thank you for your understanding! 23:03, 20 October 2024 (UTC) IZAK (talk) 23:03, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 5 December 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Saybrook Colony, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Saybrook Colony was sold to Connecticut for an annual payment of 180 pounds of equal quantities of wheat, peas, and either rye or barley?

A barnstar for you!

		The Epic Barnstar
		For massively improving the article on Saybrook Colony. You turned it from something that felt done almost obligatorily to something that stands out through the clear passion and effort put into it. *TheTechnician27* (Talk page) 05:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
