User talk:Haunted by a ghoti

Welcome!
Hello, Haunted by a ghoti, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:53, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Article Vetting
Here are my thoughts on the 5 articles you chose, Ben:

Abandoned Mine: - This seems like a great choice, because there are significant gaps in content and re: purpose. It also doesn't seem like particularly active page.

Abyssal zone: - I don't think this would be a good fit, in part because the editing history shows that edits are frequently reverted by specific users.

Antarctic: - This could work well, since some sections are list-heavy and could use more content. The editing page seems active, but not aggressively so.

Mariana Trench: - This is another good choice, since it looks like it's in need updating.

Fall of the House of Usher: - This one also seems to be patrolled pretty actively, and the quality is higher, so I would suggest avoiding unless you have a specific plan.

Overall: I would recommend going with Abandoned Mine, plus Antarctic or Mariana Trench for this project. Happy to chat about any of these articles further if you like. Spike Mugiwara (talk) 17:11, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Actually, I would really much enjoy editing The Fall of the House of Usher. I just recently read this story, and I was surprised that its article page wasn't as detailed as I expected it to be. The talk page has a lot of info, and there have been some recent edits, but it does not seem to be particularly active. It's a high-importance article too, which is understandable given the significance of Poe's work. Haunted by a ghoti (talk) 19:21, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
