Hello, ! Thank you so much for coming along to the University of Edinburgh's ILW 2015 editathon and for your contributions.

History of Medicine editathon
Hello again, ! Apologies for taking so long to get back to you after last week but am just recovering from the flu. Thank you so much for facing up to your fear of skull biscuits and for taking part in the History of Medicine editathon. Just so you know, we uploaded in excess of 500 images to Wiki Commons, created 4 brand new articles on Wikipedia, and improved a further 56! For the event page, click here or to see the whole illustrated story of the event then you can click here: Storify: ILW editathon 2016 I hope that you enjoyed the day, and that we'll see you on Wiki again soon.

Now that you've learned - or refreshed - the basics of editing using Wikipedia’s Visual Editor, I hope that you'll stay logged in and edit or create more articles. I've added some booklets and some links below that you may find useful.

If you're not feeling bold enough to write an (other) article straight away, why not try a small edit first, or adding a link? Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful, especially the first one which covers the main things to remember about using Visual Editor.

Thanks for coming yesterday
Couple of different templates there for thanking editors for attending an editing session - more can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Welcoming_committee#Welcoming_via_Twinkle Cheers, Stinglehammer (talk) 18:02, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Bad source
Thanks for trying to help add sources with this edit. But if you look closer at the source you'll see it's simply a copy of the article itself, being published by Lulu.com, a self-publishing company. Please be more careful aboutusing anything from that company in the future. Just because it's on Google Books doesn't make it reliable. For more information, see Identifying reliable sources. Felsic2 (talk) 20:27, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Same problem here:. Please review the rest of your edits to make sure there aren't any others. For the future, if you find the exact text from a Wikipedia article in a Google Books source, that means there's a problem. Felsic2 (talk) 20:32, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Hidden Gems - thanks for coming!
Heya! Just wanted to drop by and say hi, and thanks for coming on Friday! Was good to see you, and I'm so glad to see the Picture House article in draft... I've tweeted it so hopefully we may get a few offers of help... hope all's well with you! Lirazelf (talk) 10:57, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
