Question from Mimiwriter13 (10:46, 10 June 2024)
Hello Eddy! How are you doing?

I’m a bit new to Wikipedia Editing, do you have any tips for me? Thank you! --Mimiwriter13 (talk) 10:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Mimiwriter13! Be friendly, take criticism as well as you can, and don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask questions. Just be ready to learn from them! Everything else is secondary. Eddie891 Talk Work 00:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Eddie891 I've taken note of this! Thank you so much! Currently getting attuned with the platform, writing and editing! It's been nice so far! Mimiwriter13 (talk) 08:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Naples-eon Bismark III (17:38, 10 June 2024)
Hello Eddie, it's nice to meet you. I just have one question: where can we get information from to edit or add to articles? --Naples-eon Bismark III (talk) 17:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @Naples-eon Bismark III, you can find information pretty much anywhere you can search. Where you find good sources depends a bit on what subject area you're trying to edit, but you generally want to use sources that are peer reviewed and reputable (for instance, newspapers, journals, books). Hopefully that's helpful. If you have some more specific questions, I'd be happy to specify. Eddie891 Talk Work 00:10, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Presidency Navigation Templates vs. Biography Navigation Templates discussion
Hello, Eddie891! Since you are listed as an active member of the United States Presidents WikiProject, would you mind leaving a comment at a project talk page discussion about a series of templates that I created for the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush? Another editor and myself disagree about whether there should be a separate navigation template for each Presidency apart from the biographical navigation template. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 22:17, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
