Editing
Hallo, and thanks for your edits to Edith Helen Barrett. A couple of things:


 * Please check your links, and take care not to link to disambiguation pages. I've fixed the links you left to Malvern, Victoria and Emerald Hill.
 * There is an easy way to avoid linking to disambiguation pages: if you go to "Preferences", "Gadgets", and look under "Appearance" you'll see "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange" towards the bottom of the section. Select that tickbox, and whenever you Preview a page you'll be able to see whether you've accidentally linked to a disambiguation page.


 * Please make an edit, look at it using "Preview", and then continue editing, rather than publishing every little change and taking 21 separate edits to create an infobox as you did here. Each edit will appear as a separate edit on the "watch list" of other editors, and it's much better if you can consolidate a bunch of related edits into one. (But don't go too far the other way: sometimes editors are criticised for making a whole batch of unrelated major changes to an article in one edit, making it difficult for other editors to identify all the different changes. But one edit for an infobox, and a couple more for the "oops I didn't notice I got that wrong" followups, is fine.)

There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Welcome, and Happy Editing! Pam D  16:40, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Johanna Weigel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Posen. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
