User talk:Matt Lodder

Welcome!

WELCOME!! Hello, Matt Lodder! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself in the new user log and thelist of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. Wikipedia is held up by Five Pillars...I recommend reading about them if you haven't already. Finally, it would be really helpful if you would sign your name on talk pages, so people can get back to you quickly. It's easy to do this by clicking the button (next to the one with the "W" crossed out) one from the end on the left. If that's confusing, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a ♪ at my talk page (by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the tab at the top that says "edit this page")...and again, welcome!--ViolinGirl^♪ 21:17, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, Matthew. I spotted you editing The Caves of Androzani so thought I'd say hi :-) —Whouk (talk) 09:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Tattoo history articles

Hi I just saw your comments on Talk:George Burchett from 2016, and I've updated that article accordingly, along with the related bits in the articles for Tom Riley and Sutherland Macdonald. Thank you for pointing that out! Over the past month or so, I've been trying to improve a bunch of tattoo history articles, starting from sailor tattoos and wandering from there to related topics, and I've really appreciated running into your work. As a person new to all this, "The New Old Style: Tradition, Archetype and Rhetoric in Contemporary Western Tattooing" pulled together several themes for me in a clear and moving way.

Anyway, I've been around on Wikipedia for a long time and have experience navigating most of the rules and processes here, so let me know if there's anything else egregious that you want to see fixed. I've also taught Wikipedia editing workshops with various institutional co-hosts (including virtual ones with SFMOMA and AAMLO last year), and I'd love to organize one on this group of topics if I can find an interested institutional co-host.
