Hello, Celine1776, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:

 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help
 * How to write a great article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or. I wanted to alert you to the internal links you added at Peter Thoeming. Per WP:OLINK, many of these names are left unlinked: Perhaps you would go through them and de-link, as part of the learning process. Also please note that external links embedded into the prose are not allowed (ADVrider.com). It's also a form of advertising. Thank you. Again, welcome! Rocknrollmancer (talk) 21:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC) Thanks for the guidance! I will delink as indicated. Celine1776 (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:


 * Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
 * The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please see MOS:LQ for guidance on punctuation of quotations. Elizium23 (talk) 01:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance. After consulting with the Wikipedia style guideline, I see my error on the punctuation issues. I'm less clear on why the sentence regarding the comment from Alice McDermott was deleted. Can you explain? Celine1776 (talk) 03:10, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

The Violent Bear it Away
Hi Celine, thank you for editing the page about the above novel; great attention to detail. I'm interested that the page states the religious matter in the novel is Catholic, because it seems to me to be evangelical. I'd like to hear what you think. Yours, fellow Wikipedia reader.
