Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, LLRungegordon! Thank you for your contributions. I am Wgolf and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Wgolf (talk) 17:37, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Co-op Mentor
Hey Laura, my name is Jethro. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for creating your profile at the Co-op! I wanted to introduce you to your mentor,. She's done a lot of fantastic writing here and will definitely be able to help you out in creating articles about early women writers. She'll swing by here soon. I also made a few minor adjustments to your profile, namely fixing the image and renaming the page to reflect your username. Thanks again! I, JethroBT drop me a line 22:50, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Laura! I'm Jen, and I just learned that I was selected to be your mentor.  Let me know if I can help answer any questions as you get started here! It looks like you are taking the right approach at Talk:Aphra Behn.  Though the talk page has been reasonably active in the past, it looks like the article hasn't been actively edited in some time so I don't think (fingers crossed) that you will encounter resistance to constructive edits.  Even if you intend to rewrite the entire article eventually, I'd recommend that you do a chunk at a time.  That way, if anyone reverts you, they will not undo all of your changes. The page Writing better articles has a variety of useful advice but I'm guessing that an as academic you probably have a general idea of the approach that you should take. :) Happy that you have decided to join us!  Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:30, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * By the way, if you are attending the edit-a-thon at the upcoming ASECS conference in LA, let's be in touch! I will likely be attending. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you both, Jethro and Jen. I really appreciate the support and the help.  I'm replying to you here on my Talk page, but I'm not sure whether I should be visiting your talk page?  It seems more practical to answer here.  These are the small things I have to figure out as a newbie! I'm actually pretty keyed up about re-writing the Aphra Behn page in a nerdy, "how cool is this??" way. Yes!  I will be at the ASECS edit-a-thon.  It is the reason I started editing Wikipedia, though I am thinking I will keep this going and plan my own edit-a-thon for the fall Aphra Behn Conference at Seton Hall.  I hope to meet you, Jen, in LA.  LLRungegordon (talk) 14:21, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Replying here is fine! I've added your page to my watchlist, but in case I miss a message you've left here, drop me a note on my talk page.  One recommendation for the Aphra Behn page: I'd recommend starting by editing the body rather than editing the intro.  The intro is supposed to summarize the existing body (and generally doesn't need footnotes for that reason).  To the extent there is any new information in the intro, it should be cited.  For example, something like "Although her sensational biography has often overshadowed her literary achievements, much solid bibliographical and critical work has been done since the 1990s to establish her oeuvre and its value." should be cited to a reliable source.  (That is, a source that discusses how the critical work has established her oeuvre and its value, not just the critical work itself.)  Wikipedia frowns on general evaluative statements that can't be cited, though I'm sure it's something you do all the time in academic writing....  Also, it looks like you removed the sourced statement "Although her reputation slowly improved during the 20th century, she is still little known to modern audiences.[3]" -- why did you remove this?  Good luck with your article and look forward to meeting you in LA! Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:31, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Jen. I've been thinking about the citation issues, and I'll work on that.  The citations on that page are a mess, and I have to figure out where to begin.  LLRungegordon (talk) 22:33, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Co-op Survey
Hi there! Thanks for contributing your time to learning contributing to Wikipedia through mentorship at The Co-op. The Co-op is actually a very new project on Wikipedia, and you've been a great help in helping us improve it so far. We want to get your feedback on your use of the Co-op in addition to your experience with your mentor and editing Wikipedia generally. When you are able, please take the Qualtrics survey here to give us your feedback. With your help, we can make the Co-op and mentorship helpful for different needs, and expand the space for many editors to use. Thanks for your help, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:44, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Use of Category tags in your sandbox
Hi LLRungegordon. It's good to see that you're experimenting with Wikipedia, in particular doing so in your sandbox. However, when you did so you copied the category tags into your sandbox too, which meant that your sandbox showed up in those categories which are only meant to have main-space articles in them. This is a very common mistake, and not anything to worry about. I just thought I'd leave a message when editing someone else's sandbox. Thanks. Banak (talk) 04:13, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for this suggestion. I've deleted the draft from my sandbox, and I'll remember to do that in the future.  I had no idea.  LLRungegordon (talk) 14:14, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
 * One way that editors keep track of categories for sandbox drafts is to link them much like we do files. So if I typed it would add this page to a category, but if I typed Category:Role-playing game terminology (note the colon right at the front) I get Category:Role-playing game terminology, which is styled just like a link. Same goes for files. If I wanted to discuss an image with you on your talk page, adding the link as normal ( [[File:Surface normal.png]] ) would cause the image to be loaded on the page. Putting the colon in first gives us a link: File:Surface normal.png. Hope this helps. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 12:12, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Link for the ABO Edit-a-thon page
Here is the link to the page I created for the Edit-a-thon: Grants:PEG/User:LLRungegordon/Wikipedia edit-a-thon for the Aphra Behn Society. At first, the article was tagged for deletion. I removed the tag and am in the process of talking with another editor to make sure that the article is not deleted. Beachmirage (talk) 03:54, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I have now created the correct page that you specified. Here is the link to the Wikipedia version Meetup/New Jersey/Aphra Behn Society Editathon, and I have asked two editors to verify that there are no problems with this new page before I create a re-direct from the Wikimedia version to the Wikipedia version.

More ways to publicize your edit-a-thon
I just responded to your message at Wikipedia talk:Meetup. Just wanted to drop you a note here saying that a couple more ways to get attention for your edit-a-thon would be to post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women writers and/or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History. Some people who hang out there might be able to help edit (probably virtually) or to help suggest articles in need of editing, if you would like ideas. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:27, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again, Calliopejen1! I'll add this to my to-do list.  Beachmirage See this list of suggestions, too! LLRungegordon (talk) 18:30, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aphra Behn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Astrea. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Women in Red membership
Hi there, Laura. I'm really pleased to see you've become a member of Women in Red, particularly as you use Wikipedia in your courses and take a special interest in 18th-century British authors. Please let us know on our talk page if you encounter any problems or any serious shortcomings in our coverage of the articles you use in your teaching. If you find any authors or related topics without Wikipedia articles, you may like to make a start on new articles yourself. We could all help you along. It would also be great to see some of your students joining us. Just drop me a line if ever you need further assistance.--Ipigott (talk) 10:44, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
