Hi, I would be happy to help out. Is there something in particular that you're wanting to work on right now? How can I help you get involved in the editing community, for instance:
 * If you have specific topics of interest, I would recommend joining one of the WikiProjects. There a lot of them - that can be broad, like visual art, a country, and much more. Some get specific, like one of my projects is Women artists. You can join as a member of the project, post and "watch" postings on the talk page to weigh in on conversations, work on specific items, and more.
 * Another way, is to use Teahouse. It's a general place to post questions and "watching" that page may help you become familiar with Wikipedia based upon the discussions there.
 * Start or edit an article of interest - and I would be very happy to help there.

Glad to meet you - interesting user name. You can answer here. I'll add this page to my watchlist. If you would like more timely response, you an add at the beginning of the reply and it will "ping" me that I've been mentioned on this page.-- CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 20:18, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I've been working on something I saw on the main community page -- making articles for highly cited women scientists. I've made 3 pages so far along that vein. I saw a wikiproject for women scientists, but I wasn't sure exactly how to join. Do I just add my name to the list they have on their page? Should I message someone or something?
 * And thanks for the tip on the teahouse; I'll check it out! Twistthespine (talk) 20:41, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, just realized you may want to see the pages I've started. They're Pamela S. Soltis, Patrizia A. Caraveo, and Carol Aneshensel. Twistthespine (talk) 20:45, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, yes, for that project you just need to add your name to the bottom of WikiProject Women scientists. If you want to join the sociology group, there's a participant list here.


 * It's great that you've already worked on three articles. Great job! I've made some edits (mostly formatting additions --like categories, authority control, Template:Persondata, and default sort--to the Carol Aneshensel article and added some comments at Talk:Carol Aneshensel.


 * I'll take a look at the other two articles in a bit. As a tip, conversations on talk pages are intented once per response - that helps readers quickly identify each new posting. Once it's indented more than you like, you can use as you see it here to start at the left margin again.


 * For some reason, your talk link isn't working correctly. It is linked to talk and so it shows up as a redlink. I don't know what might have happened to create that. That might be a good Teahouse item to see how to fix it.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 21:23, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see the issue with the talk page link that is a red link. The "talk:Twistthespine" is not correct. It needs to be (User talk:Twistthespine) with the piped "|talk" within the brackets. Did you, by chance, make a change to your signature in Preferences (upper right hand corner menu)?-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 21:35, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I haven't changed my preferences at all, so I'm not sure why that would be. How do I fix that? Twistthespine (talk) 01:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)


 * It's working now, maybe it was a momentary glitch in the routine that makes the signature.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:42, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Édouard Delaporte, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saint-Jeannet. 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.
