Anarchism[edit]

Hi Fourday,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 14:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Communication[edit]

Hi there, I saw your edit here and thought I'd swing by to answer your questions. If someone starts a thread on your Talk page like this one, you can hit the "reply" button and type @ to bring up their username. If you select or type their name, the software will automatically convert this into a ping, like this: @Fourday. Users get a clear notification from this, so you can be pretty confident that someone you've pinged has seen your message. But from me doing this on your Talk page specifically, you'll also get a "there is a new message on your Talk page" notice. If you want to be absolutely sure that someone has got your message, their Talk page is the best place to go. There are other ways to get people's attention, but these are the most reliable (and the easiest to explain). -- asilvering (talk) 18:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much @Asilvering, that's extremely helpful! I don't know how I missed the reply button before. Appreciated. Fourday (talk) 10:47, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To give you another example notification, this time I'm just using the reply function, and not also using a ping. You should get it to your "notices" inbox instead of your "alerts" one. This only sends notices to editors who have subscribed to an individual discussion, so this is a gentler way to get someone's attention. They can always choose to unsubscribe (and then won't see your notice at all). I'm pretty sure it only works on Talk pages, so if you're in a discussion somewhere else (for example, WP:AFD), it's better to use a ping if you want a specific editor to see your reply. Notably, this doesn't work with AfC notices like the one above - you'll have to reply+ping. (We'll fix that... someday.) -- asilvering (talk) 18:45, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
