A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Mira Oubliette. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

 * Yay, cookies!. (Om nom nom) Thank you for the welcome and the links. Tabbed browsing, a blessing and a curse. I think I have most (if not all) of those pages in a tab, along with several others for quick reference while I work. - Mira Oubliette talk 18:26, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Help with a new article?
Hi, Mira. I stumbled on a subject that deserves an article, DASCH. I started a draft here with a list of sources at the end. The more sources I read, the more I find. If you have the time and inclination, the article needs lots of work. If you prefer, I'll move the draft to a subpage of your sandbox. When it's ready for mainspace, I'll gladly walk you through the process of moving it to article space, adding appropriate redirects, and nominating it for WP:DYK. Hope you can spend so time on it. Take care, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 23:52, 6 November 2014 (UTC) PS: Answer here. I'll be watching your talk page for a bit. Cheers, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) Join WER 16:45, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I'm so late in responding, some medical issues came up, so I haven't been done anything other than a few stealth copy edits. If you still want/need some help with DASCH I'd be happy to contribute. I've read the article and it looks really good; great job on creating it.


 * Since there are no images on the page, what do you think about including one or two examples of the scanned plates; for example Halley's Comet 1910 pass or the known photo of the Horsehead Nebula in the collection February 7, 1888 image of Orion's belt and the Orion Nebula. Or even a gallery of thumbnails which link to the full-size image of the plate. After taking a look at the DASCH site, I couldn't find any copyright information. I think the scans of the plates would be Public Domain given their age, plus Fair Use of a low-resolution image. I'm going to find out what the copyright status is, for my own use if nothing else. Had to dig a little deeper to find the Image Use Policy - "In keeping with the spirit of the Internet, the information and images on this website may be used for noncommercial and educational purposes. In other words, an Internet user may download a file and share it with others where no personal or commercial gain is involved."

Your experience on Wikipedia so far
Hello Mira Oubliette,

My name is Gabriel Mugar and I am conducting interviews for my dissertation research about newcomers to Wikipedia. Since you have been around Wikipedia for a few months, I would like to chat with you about your experience so far. The interview will last for about 1 hour and I will compensate your time with a $10 gift certificate to either the Wikipedia store or Amazon, your choice. If you are interested in knowing more about the interview, please email me at gmugar [at] syr.edu or leave a message on my talk page

Thanks,

WikiProject Fire Service
Hello and good afternoon (at least it is afternoon where I am). I was looking at the Wikipedian firefighters category and noticed that you are one of the members of the Wikipedia community that lists yourself as being a firefighter. First and foremost let me say thank you for your service. While I myself am not a firefighter, I do work as a photographer with multiple local fire departments. I am honored to have firefighters as some of my closest friends.

I have been taking an active role in the Fire Service WikiProject and am trying to recruit more members to this cause. If this is something you have any interest in, please let me know? You can leave me a message on my talk page. Obviously there is zero obligation. An interest can be anything from helping out with a couple of pages in your local area to helping to overhaul major templates, and anything in between.

Once again, thank you for your service. Hope to hear from you soon. Stay safe! --Zackmann08 (talk) 17:54, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
