about these trainings

We're trying to improve our tools for helping new editors get started. These trainings are hosted on the "Programs & Events Dashboard", a tool for helping Wikipedia editors organize editing events. You can optionally log in using your Wikipedia account to keep track of which trainings you've completed.

If you have feedback, we'd love to hear it!

Hey there![edit]

Hello there -- I'm here. Didn't realize there was drama over the Gypsy article again. Will help. You know that I have tried to be helpful; other editors do not share my position on the article, but if you can point me to any important content that has gone missing, I'll see what I can do. Montanabw^(talk) 03:37, 9 July 2017 (UTC) Hi Montanabw, I have no clue what's going on with it and I'm not sure I really care at this point. If the article as we wrote it needs improvement, ok, but there's no need to insult people who volunteer to help with them. I wouldn't recommend anyone volunteer to help with an article--aside from you, I've found Wikipedia's editors to be insufferable and arrogant. I took it on to be helpful, but apparently it is not helpful. Frankly I don't know what they can add to it--there are no other published sources.[reply]

I was especially upset about the material in "Names" being removed. At least in the US, that has been a big deal. Whoever is advising about these changes seems more bent on taking things out than expanding.

Montanabw, I'm sorry--I just saw these emails. Thanks for sticking up for the article.

Sandboxing[edit]

The coolest thing about WP is that anyone can edit, but sometimes where there is an article that's a real mess, the best thing to do is to "sandbox" it and do all the rewriting outside the main article space. So I'm making a sandbox for you at this link: User:SFGMary/horse sandbox. Also, remember to use four tildes (the ~ symbol) to sign your posts. Montanabw^(talk) 21:07, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
