I am an AFDCS Life Member (also APS, APRL, APS-WU#30 member, and others) interested in U.S. First Day Covers, WW II Patriotics, and Poster Stamps, and anything philatelicly related to the U.S. Virgin Islands. I search Wikipedia for pages about specific stamp collectors and First Day Cachetmakers that I include on my website, "https://www.folklib.net/fdc" (since 10/2019) called the "Cachet Display Catalog", and I have installed many! links to those pages. I do not know how to create a new Wikipedia page from scratch and, at almost 83, that is a new skill I don't care to take the time to learn. My editing is mainly making minor corrections needed on Philatelic pages and adding Wiki links ".." for Collectors and Organizations that are not clickable and I know they have a Wikipedia page. Not all Collector pages list every award they have won, so I am working on a page Indexing books with Collector biographies and linking to all Award and any other biography pages I can find on the Web about them. Possibly this page can be used as a Resource for others updating or creating new Collector pages - https://www.folklib.net/fdc/birthdays2.shtml - Many Collectors and dealers on this page do not have a Wikipedia page yet.

1-20-2023: Somebody responded to my above post, but it was in German. It was a Welcome message of some kind but I can only read English. I clicked on this User page to see if the message also appeared here, but it didn't. When I tried to look at the message again, it was gone, and I didn't know how to read it again or reply to it. Whoever sent me the message, please respond in English. Thank you.

Other than clicking on "Thank" in a revert, I really don't know how to respond to any posting on Wikipedia. I can't figure it out. Please do not be upset with me if you send me a message within Wikipedia and expect a reply. I don't know how to. Does this disqualify me from continuing to be an Editor? I will stop all editing until I receive an email reply. - henkle@pobox.com

2-12-2024: As much as I have tried, I have failed at all attempts to contact anyone at Wikipedia for editing assistance with anything or for any questions I might have. I have not figured out how to do that. I know I make mistakes, but with no feedback from anyone I do not know how to prevent making the same mistakes again. I restarted editing. I hope I don't make too many mistakes in the future.
