intro to editing ancient history topics.
Hi. Okay, I have begun a draft of a brief intro to editing ancient history topics. what do you think of this draft? Also, could you please add any sources you wish to the list below? And if you have any other points to add or to include, please feel free to add them as well.

this draft is transcluded from a document in my own user space. that way, if I make multiple edits, I won't cause multiple notifications to be sent to you, as they would if I wrote the draft here on your talk page. let me know what you think, and please make any and all edits that you may wish. as you can see, this is veery brief and concise; I don't feel a need to make thiss overly complex. however, if there is anything you wish to add, please feel free to do so. thanks!!! --Sm8900 (talk) 22:32, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

 * hi. welcome back! I see that you are editing again. when you get a chance, could you please give me a title for just one published work at Google Books that is useful, and one journal or publication at JSTOR that would be useful? I can use that data, as it would be very helpful. I would greatly appreciate it. I hope that's okay? thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 01:17, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

question re other coordinators
Hi. could you please let me know if there is some method that I could use to contact some of the coordinators at WP:MILHIST? I would like to let a few of them know about my efforts, and ask them for some help, in a few specific areas.

Is there any method that you could please suggest? Shiould I simply use the talk page for WP:Milhist? Is there any online method that is used for this, such as on Discord, or Slack, or IRC, or email, etc? I appreciate any help. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 15:45, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020
Hello ,

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference. In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
 * Your help can make a difference
 * Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate
 * Discussions and Resources
 * A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
 * Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
 * A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
 * Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.
