A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Dorevabelfiore. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions, especialy Ethel D. Allen. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2016
As a past contributor, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
 * Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
 * Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
 * Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.

This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 22:00, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Temple University Library's Page
DB,

I was just looking at the List of the largest libraries in the United States. I was pleased to see that Temple University Libraries was listed at #64 out of the 100 listed. It is one of only 19 redlinks on the list! If you are worried about coi, please write an article in your user space and I'll review it before posting. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 17:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I will collaborate with my TUL colleagues on a draft and then will show it to you. I definitely wish to avoid coi. Best, Doreva Dorevabelfiore (talk) 20:20, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!
Hello!

It was a pleasure to meet you last night. Thank you for your time and skills in leading a new training session. I also wanted to pass along the link for NPR's API. You can use the Query Generator, or simply run queries on your own. (I used to use it often to find "All Fresh Air's from XXXX year on YYYY topic" which was useful for end-of-the-year round ups.)

Question about change to Wikidata/Wikipedia title
Hi Doreva. I made my first edit to a Wikidata item for Annie M. Aggensusing the VIAF form of her name with the "M." inserted. I now need to update the wikipedia page, as shown today, but have forgotten next step. I had picked her name from the list of names needing Library resources box, which I already added. I also added a book title. Thank you MssLibrarian (talk) 20:07, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Rebecca. Great! You could do the following: 1)Change the title of the Wikipedia page by clicking More and then Move, and editing the name of the page. Your reason would be to standardize name per authority control. 2)Change her name inside her page in the lede. Hope that helps.-Doreva Dorevabelfiore (talk) 01:24, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That worked! thanks again for your great help. Another cookie for you! MssLibrarian (talk) 21:02, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
