User talk:BlueSteens

Hello again BlueSteens! It was great to meet you at the Silver Screen in the Silver City event in Aberdeen, and I hope that you enjoyed the session.

Together, we managed to create 3 new Wikipedia articles, and improve 7, including 5500 words, and 38 new references. We created one new wikidata item, and improved 8, including adding start and end times, and images. On the subject of images, we added 16 images to Wikimedia Commons!

I'd really like to encourage you to take part in Wiki Loves Monuments, the international photo competition that takes place during September, which aims to add good quality, openly licensed images of listed buildings & scheduled monuments to Wikimedia Commons. There are prizes for the best photos from Scotland, the UK, and the rest of the world - more information, and details of how to enter, on the UK website here.

You might also want to join the ScotWiki mailing list for updates about events and all things Wiki in Scotland.

Now that you've learned the basics, I do encourage you to stay logged in, and have another go at editing. If you don't want to write a new article straight away, then why not try a small edit or two first, add a link, or maybe a picture? Remember that we learned in Visual Editor, but you may want to have a look at Wiki mark up for use on talk pages and other discussion pages.

Wiki is never finished - it's a constantly evolving entity. And there are a huge community of other editors out there who can help.

Here's some links that I hope you'll find useful:

You can find out more about what's happening with Wikimedia in Scotland on the WMUK site here.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon! Lirazelf (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
