A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Judkessler! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

November 2023
Hello, I'm Chaotic Enby. I noticed that you recently removed content from Arsenic without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

External links on Featured articles
Hi, Judkessler; you've been changing the External links on Featured articles like Chagas disease and Buruli ulcer, when those links were carefully curated to comply with WP:WIAFA; I'm seeking to understand the rationale behind the replacements ? Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- I thought their number where too high. So it becomes useful to remove the one which are too specific. See Wikipedia:External links. Of course, you may put one back if you wish!
- Judkessler (talk) 16:37, 11 November 2023 (UTC).
- OK, so WP:FAs have been curated to meet the standards of our best work, per WP:WIAFA. You have been removing links that were recently deemed useful, and replacing them with others. What you refer to as "more specific" others are not warranted at those FAs, as meaningful content is already included in the Featured article; the ones chose contain content that for some reason, in accordance with WP:EL, is not included. Could you please take greater care to notice the big editnotice like this one, that pops up when you edit an FA, and not change those? Also, as you may not yet fully understand the application of WP:EL, might you slow down on this activity? That will save a lot of time for other editors, and would be most appreciated. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:45, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the insights. I will pay more attention to the pages with special warnings.
- And, of course, feel free to correct what you see as mistakes.
