Hello, I'm Bruce1ee. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Figure painting (hobby) have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.  —Bruce1eetalk 21:46, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi Cullen328 (Jim) - I just came back from visiting your page. I'm so new that I think I got ahead of myself with the editing without introducing myself. My real name is Andrew, and have been using Wikipedia for years and years, ever since grad school.
 * I'd figured at some point over the past few weeks that I should contribute something here, as I've always relied on some expertise in the Encyclopedia. Surely with the advent of ChatGPT and other AI models for information gathering and search, I wanted to contribute information that others could use the same way as I have in the past. Indeed, you may have noticed that I publish a blog and have published in other venues that disseminate information.
 * Of course, I've realized now very quickly that I'm in a much larger community here at Wikipedia (//eek), and in my haste to do something, I broke a rule with the policy. Anyway, I wanted to just add this extra note to my request for an unblock so that it came off as more polite and less robotic.
 * I fully understand the reason for block; won't happen again!
 * Kind regards,
 * Andrew Tangible Day (talk) 01:49, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Just to help you, you edited the "Dentric Spine article", not the "Dentric Spine Wikipedia"- Wikipedia is the name of this entire website which is composed of articles and other pages. You haven't proposed a new username. Would you agree to refrain from editing about or linking to your blog? 331dot (talk) 08:49, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you re Wikipedia vs Article. And, yes, I agree to refrain from editing about and linking to my blog. I've also requested a user name change with following.

Account renamed. Could you give an idea of what topics you might edit about? 331dot (talk) 12:23, 28 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I'd love to start with the field of Neuroscience, as I'm a neuroscientist who focuses on dendritic spine biology. Also, as a hobbyist, I would like to expand on the topic regarding miniature painting and wargaming. That hobby space has grown and developed in the past few years. Of course, before I go through with "hard" or "medium" edits, I'll start with "easy" edits as suggested by Wikipedia. Hopefully, I'll build up some experience there and learn how to navigate the space and operation. What do you think? DayScribe (talk) 18:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
 * , I'd appreciate your thoughts here. I think editing about neuroscience isn't possible right now, but the hobbies would be fine- but your wisdom is appreciated. 331dot (talk) 08:12, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * , I lack the competence to evaluate the quality of the edit to Dendritic spine, so I will defer to your concern about neuroscience topics. As for the hobbyist edits, as long as their is no self-promotion, I do not object. Cullen328 (talk) 16:26, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi all - thanks for this info. I’ll await further instruction. DayScribe (talk) 16:41, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, I am willing to remove the block if you agree to hold off on editing about neuroscience related topics for now. This would certainly not be permanent, just until you get some experience under your belt- say, six months/200 edits(whichever takes longer) at which point you could go to a noticeboard like WP:AN and get some views as to your experience level. 331dot (talk) 19:00, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree :) I’ll aim for gaining that experience first. Thanks for the note. DayScribe (talk) 21:59, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

This is a good agreement and I approve of it. DayScribe, I hope that you will go on to be a productive, long term Wikipedia editor. I was a hot rod modeller in the early to mid 1960s and my son now uses a 3D printer to make little gaming figurines, that he paints carefully with my granddaughter sitting at his side.

 * Thank you :)
 * Fantastic! My kids are still very young but I’d love to get them involved in a few years.
 * oh, 3D printing is another recent development in the miniature painting arena… disruptive in so many industries including academia where I am :)
 * Thanks again for helping me along. Hope to learn through this process here
