 * Dear Randykitty, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the warm welcome and the helpful guidance you've provided.
 * I am indeed enjoying my journey as a new Wikipedian and am eager to contribute effectively to the community. Today, I took the first step by creating my very first article Draft:Marius Brülhart, and I am quite excited about it. Given your experience and kind offer to assist, I was wondering if you could provide me with some advice on how to facilitate a speedy review of my article. I am eager to see it published and would greatly appreciate any insights you can offer on how to expedite the process. Thank you once again for your support. I look forward to your response and to contributing more to Wikipedia.
 * Warm regards,
 * KMerrigold

 * When your draft has already been submitted for review, asking in other places for an expedited review is deprecated. Links to on-wiki content should be via wikilinks; external URLs and particularly shortened URLs are discouraged.
 * I've removed the help template because a) you seem to have been addressing Randykitty in particular and b) because it should not be used to ask vaguely for advice (or for expedited review).
 * While you wait for your draft to be reviewed, you should consider adding more inline citations. Reviewers expect to see a footnote for essentially every sentence. You need to identify where the information is coming from. A sentence with multiple footnotes, on the other hand, may be a problem. It's often a sign that you are engaged in synthesis, pulling together several sources to say something that none of them supports.
 * The good news is that it looks like your subject may qualify under the special notability criteria that apply to professors.  — jmcgnh (talk)  (contribs) 18:59, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Dear jmcgnh ,
 * I hope this message finds you both well. Thanks again for your guidance and support. I have recently made updates to the "Career" section of the Draft:Marius Brülhart, addressing the concerns and questions you raised. I have made every effort to locate and utilize secondary and reliable sources to verify and substantiate the information from the professor's CV.
 * Your feedback is invaluable to me, and I would greatly appreciate any further insights or suggestions you might have. Regarding the "Research" section, I took into consideration your comment that mentioned the potential applicability of special notability criteria for professors. Based on your comment, I have decided not to make any changes to the section. I hope this is acceptable to you. The reason is that the footnotes in one sentence effectively consolidate the various topics within his broad research themes, and each source represents a specific topic accordingly.
 * Thank you for your time and assistance.
 * Best regards,
 * KMerrigold KMerrigold (talk) 15:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Welcome, KMerrigold!


Welcome to Wikipedia, KMerrigold! I'm Ozzie10aaaa, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia!--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 11:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Dear Ozzie10aaaa,
 * Thank you very much for your welcome and for being my mentor. I'm grateful for the guidance you offer.
 * Currently, I have two drafts that were declined, but I see this as an opportunity to improve them by incorporating secondary and independent sources for each fact mentioned. The only concern I have is the review process duration, which is said to take 3-4 months.
 * Once I properly adjust my drafts, is there any possibility that the review process could be expedited so my drafts can be published and go live sooner?
 * Thank you again for your assistance. I'm looking forward to learning and contributing more effectively to Wikipedia.
 * Kind regards,

Hi KMerrigold, do you have a source for the impact factor? Thanks Nobody  ( talk ) 12:16, 19 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @1AmNobody24,
 * Sure, here is the link: https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21100913561?origin=resultslist
 * I just noticed they've updated the impact factor for 2023 (it was 5.1 for 2022). I'll update it right away. By the way, can we include a link to the Scopus site, or do we have to update the impact factor manually each year?
 * Thanks in advance for your help.
 * Best,
 * KMerrigold KMerrigold (talk) 17:20, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
