Hello Sadads! Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm still figuring out how to nagivate the space and how to communicate, but I'm excited to be here!MattW31174 (talk) 04:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be doing a great job! Keep up the great work! Finding studies and reports of updated data for Wikipedia articles is great! I created a list of similar small actions about Climate change topics: Wikipedia:WikiProject Climate change/Small to medium tasks -- you might find that a useful place to be inspired since a number of your recent edits have been about climate change.

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for adding so many solid sources to the site in so few days! I particularly liked that Nature article about the oldest human inhabitants of Australia (which was news to me). If you keep adding sources of similar quality at a similar rate, I project Wikipedia's problems with unsourced pages will all be over by the end of the year!

Thank you! That's really kind of you to say. Getting involved with Wikipedia edits has inspired me to learn more, so I'm looking forward to contributing what I can! MattW31174 (talk) 11:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Hunt[edit]

I know that you are finding your own sources/topics to work from. But if you are ever looking for inspiration, we have this great tool for browsing "Citation Needed Statements" -- https://citationhunt.toolforge.org/en -- it allows you to browse statements that need citations, and search by WikiProject or category (see the search bar below the suggestions)! I find that it is super useful for when I having trouble identifying my own topics, Sadads (talk) 12:37, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
