Welcome!
Hello, JRandRosie, 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) 18:21, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your research! I started a draft based on your links
Your efforts to research Black-owned newspapers are appreciated. I used the links you collected, and a couple I found by exploring them, to create a basic draft page here: Draft:Metro Herald If you find anything further, please feel free to add it there. It probably has enough on it to publish now, but another good reference would really seal the deal. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 20:44, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey there -- I took the information you'd put in that article--thank you--and wrote an article in the main name space. I realize that by doing this I inadvertently may have erased your contributions and I wanted to let you know I mentioned you by name in my edit summary. Hope that is okay.

News On Wiki check-in
Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.

We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.

As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State. Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text " " so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.
 * Saturday Jan. 30, 2pm Pacific / 5 PM Eastern (with Pete)
 * Tuesday Feb. 2, 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern (with Pete)
 * Wednesday Feb. 3, 12:30pm Pacific / 3:30 PM Eastern (with Sherry)
 * Thursday Feb. 4, 12:30pm Pacific / 3:30 PM Eastern (with Sherry)

We hope to hear from you soon! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:49, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
