Welcome Aboard
Thanks for joining GLAM/Pritzker. I hope you enjoy and learn a lot of cool things as you edit Wikipedia. TeriEmbrey (talk) 16:58, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Feel free to try out the Wikipedia Adventure at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TWA/Portal This fun way to learn about editing Wikipedia posts your progress to your userpage. TeriEmbrey (talk) 18:53, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you Teri! It has been very interesting so far to learn about the mechanics and machinery of Wikipedia (as opposed to perusing the articles and finding sources), especially the "POV" pillar and the communication between editors. I never knew there was so much to Wikipedia, and I can't wait to contribute to Wikipedia to the best of my ability, as well as learn and soak up as much as I can. I appreciate the warm welcome!

Welcome!
Hey Jackson. I'm Jethro, another volunteer at the Pritzker. Thanks for joining us at the Pritzker to assist with our project to improve Wikipedia. I've been an editor basically since 2011, and so my role is in training and offering whatever I can to help you as you're building articles and other content. (I help coordinate Wikipedia-related events at the Pritzker as well.) You're always welcome to get in touch with me on my talk page if you run into any proble,s or just need a pair of eyes on something you're working on. When you get a chance, could you let me know when during the week and at what times you are planning to be at the Pritzker? (You can reply below here.) I'd like to swing by the Pritzker soon to meet with you and introduce myself properly. :) I, JethroBT drop me a line 20:31, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * ---Hi Jethro! Thank you for the warm introduction. It would be a pleasure to meet you as well- I am at the Pritzker every Friday from 10 am to 4 pm. This is the first time I have edited Wikipedia articles, and although I've been reading and using Wikipedia for years, I'm very new to the process of editing and citing and everything else. I would greatly appreciate you help, support, and feedback too, so thank you for offering! I think it is really cool that the Pritzker has a collaboration project with Wikipedia, and especially the dedication and enthusiasm people like you and Teri put into it! Wikipedia is one of the most valuable and ingenious tools out on the web, and I think the more we put into it, the better a source it will be for those who want to learn about the world, and to find further materials to study. I'm really exciting to get working! Jdanbeck (talk) 21:38, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Fellow Wikipedian-in-Residence
From one PMML Wikipedian-in-Residence to another, I just wanted to say hello and welcome! I'm Melissa. I started mid-January as a Wikipedian intern and will be here till May. I have been told our schedules don't overlap, but if you have any questions feel free to send me a message on my talk page. The Wikipedia "lingo" and formatting was completely new to me when I started, so I can understand if its overwhelming or confusing, but I am sure you will get the hang of it quickly! All the best.Mchuedem (talk) 18:19, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello Melissa! Thank you for introducing yourself. Yeah I was told the same about our schedules. I may stop in during a time when you work just to properly meet and find out if we can bounce ideas and research off each other. I will soak up any tips and lingo and anything else from you! I have the basics down, but there is always more to learn. Hopefully I will see you next week. Jdanbeck (talk) 21:54, 27 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Sounds good! I can also try coming in on Friday when you are available. If you are unable to come in on any of the days I'm here, you can always reach me on my talk page. Hope to see you this week. Mchuedem (talk) 15:14, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Nice to meet you today! The article I began at the meetup is up. I'm not quite done translating though (notice the difference in length from the original). Drummerdg (talk) 19:05, 18 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Nice to meet you as well ! I will add my own findings to the article. Thanks for translating and putting the article together. If you find sources that are not from newspapers, let me know. I've had trouble finding "scholarly" sources. Jdanbeck (talk) 04:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Good deal and no problem. Funny coincidence, eh? Anyway yeah I'll keep an eye out. Drummerdg (talk)
