Thanks for your contributions to Christopher Boden. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Thanks! Sorry about that! Didn't know there was a draft space. Thanks for letting me know.

Cheers

Hi @Rockingpotato, I've seen a few of your welcome messages for new editors recently and wanted to thank you for your effort.

Just to note, double check edits before leaving a welcome message. this isn't a suitable edit for Wikipedia. It's no big deal, and you can always leave a one of the Welcome message templates that also notes unreferenced information has been added.

As you are good at the welcome message thing, I wasn't sure if you have seen the various template at Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates? I don't use even half of them, but some can be really useful. Good luck and keep up the good work! Knitsey (talk) 20:46, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Knitsey! Sorry about that! I didn't really read the whole edit. Should probably do that! Thanks for the recognition! I will check out the Welcome templates! Just wondering, I've been looking at the Special:Users page and looking for new users with at least one edit (non-userpage). Is there a better way to do this? Also (and sorry if this is wordy), should I also be reporting the vandalism and reverting bad edits? (I already do this, but if I should stop I will!)

Cheers!

It's not a problem, honestly. I look through Special:Log/newusers and go back a few pages (depending on the time of day) and go from there. It's easy to see who has edited, you can keep refreshing to update it.

As far as vandalism is concerned, feel free to add warning templates after reverting. Make sure you read Wikipedia:Vandalism as it is quite specific. (I still occasionally get it wrong). It can be a bit disheartening sometimes and you will end up with all the excuses under the sun and some abuse. It doesn't bother me much but I can understand why it can be upsetting.

Look at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism to get a feel for what admins are looking for.

For example, I usually give a level 4 (or only warning template) for serious harassment of other users. Racism etc, level 4 and report straight to AIV.

Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy this might help if its something you are interested in?. Knitsey (talk) 22:21, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

@Knitsey Thanks! The WP:* pages are kinda maze-like! I most certainly will look through those. How should I go about adding myself to these committees?

Cheers! Rockingpotato (talk) 22:26, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

You can add youself here if you want. Keep doing what you are doing and it all becomes easier with practice. Good Luck, Knitsey (talk) 22:31, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

@Johnj1995

Thank you for reaching out! I understand that I may have incorrectly tagged this file, yet I have asked the creators of this image where they got it from, and whether or not I could use it. Seeing as how they no longer work for the school, and have abandoned the blog, I saw the usage of that image to be free use. I found the image here. If you could assist me in any way as to how I should mark this image, please tell me and I will swiftly update it. Rockingpotato (talk) 22:17, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
