Thanks a lot for your kind words and helpful suggestions! GoldRomean (talk) 23:33, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome

I noticed that you've been editing some health-related articles recently. A bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. It's a good place to ask questions about good sources for medical content and appropriate writing style. Please consider putting the page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I have no specific interest in medicine, although I am fascinated by biology. I mostly just edit what Wikipedia recommends, which I guess is a lot of health-related stuff. I checked the WikiProject out and it seems like a very nice community. I'll definitely explore it some more when I have a bit more time. Cheers and thanks :D!

Well, that subject has been dominating some of the recommended tasks recently. It seems to vary over time. Some time there's no particular theme. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:12, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Interesting! GoldRomean (talk) 01:35, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

HI!!!

why can I not adopt a user??? 😕 Lilly is cool (talk) 17:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Technically, you can, but you should probably gain more experience before trying to help others. I really appreciate your enthusiasm, though! GoldRomean (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

WAIT... I can??? Lilly is cool (talk) 17:29, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

One of the rules of the Adopt-a-user page is that "Adopters should have sufficient experience before they start adopting," so I wouldn't recommend that you do so. If you really want to help new users (even though you really are one), you can place welcome messages on new users' pages with the appropriate template like I did on your talk page. Also, please try not to edit other users' user pages. GoldRomean (talk) 17:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

oh... well you just made me sad... Lilly is cool (talk) 17:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry. Continue to productively edit Wikipedia, and once you familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's guidelines more and get to 500 edits and 90 days, you can enroll in the mentorship program, which, as opposed to the Adopt-a-user program, is for brand new users. You can also visit the Teahouse and help out new users with any questions they may have, and consider playing the Wikipedia Adventure. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 17:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Help pls

I need help, i don't know where I can get user boxes and/or make my own, so I need help... Lilly is cool (talk) 18:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

This is the only one I know about

This user is a lesbian.

Sorry, I'm unable to access a compute right now, so I can't provide links or anything. If you search up Wikipedia Userboxes, you should find a page that gives you information on them and gives you a list of them and info on how to create them. Just copy the squiggly bracket stuff into your user page Template:Like this (be sure to use source editor, not visual editor) and it should appear. I'll get back to you in a bit if you need clarification or anything. Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 21:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant "Template:Like this". GoldRomean (talk) 21:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Whatever. I'll figure it out later. GoldRomean (talk) 21:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I got it. To make a userbox, you should probably use the userbox maker. If you want to find other userboxes, go here, where you can find different collections of userboxes sorted by topic. So, say I want a userbox about my involvement in Wikipedia. I might go to this, find this, and then this. If I wanted to use the first userbox on the page, "This user is a Wikipedian", I would take the Wikitext, "{{User wikipedia}}", and copy that into my user page (using SOURCE editor, not VISUAL editor), and it would show

This user is a Wikipedian.

. Hope that helps. GoldRomean (talk) 22:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
