User talk:Igarnish

Welcome!
Hello, Igarnish, 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) 20:52, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

A Barnstar for reverting vandalism of Michael O'Donnell article
Thank you, so much, for reverting the massive and recurrent anonymous vandalism on the Wikipedia article about Michael O'Donnell (politician).

I put a heck of a lot of hard work, using rigid journalism guidelines and standards, carefully backed by thorough reference citations to supporting/validating articles from the principal local media outlets in O'Donnell's community -- most of which, sadly, document his apparent criminal conduct, conspiracies, corruption, and cover-ups. I suspect this recent Wiki-vandalism is part of that juvenile, blatantly unethical behavior.

It is frustrating and exhausting to have to constantly revisit the article to guard against that vandal. Have precious little time for ANY Wikipedia work, let alone guarding all my edits, so am especially grateful for your conscientious watchdog work. Very respectfully:

 * Thank you for this! Will definitely be keeping an eye on that page... fortunately it's been obvious enough to find and revert so far. Igarnish (talk) 05:55, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hi! I am so excited to see that you have continued to actively contribute to Wikipedia over the winter break. I'm thrilled that you are making time to make these very important contributions and that you are being recognized for your efforts. If you are interested in working on anything health-related again just let me know. It would be a really fantastic 4th year project. Mcbrarian (talk) 14:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)(Denise)

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

New to Wikipedia editing - trying to update article on me
Article was inaccurate, mainly because I changed jobs. Someone else created and updated the article in the past. I'm happy to have someone else tone down whatever you see as self promotional. I just want to be accurate, and clearly am a rookie. Thanks for your help. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steve_Bratt&oldid=prev&diff=1005472890 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevebratt (talk • contribs) 21:26, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reaching out. If you can find reliable sources to verify the information you want to add, I'd be happy to add it in for you, though I don't have much experience writing biographies. You can also post on the talk page with an edit request as suggested by Wikipedia guidelines on editing articles about yourself. The reason I reverted your edits is because everything in a biography of a living person needs to be cited and written neutrally—and it can be hard to write neutrally about yourself! I've hyperlinked some policies and guidelines if you want to read further and I also suggest visiting the Teahouse if you have questions. Igarnish (talk) 22:05, 7 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice. Apologies if I didn't follow it precisely ;-) I suggested updates with references here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Stevebratt

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia
Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.
