    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright

If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Please add a lead. Xx236 (talk) 13:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

What does "a lead" mean ? @Xx236 Marion Leconte (talk) 14:00, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
The lead or lede is the first part of an article's text, if it's a longer article, and briefly describes the impoirtant points detailed in the text below. I don't see the neccessity in that particular case. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 03:31, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

February 2024 edit

Hello! Did you not notice when you did this, that the list is in alphabetical order? Wikipedia lists generally always are. Would you like to correct it, or shall we leave that to somebody else? Regards, SergeWoodzing (talk) 03:29, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@SergeWoodzing : I added the link but I didnt notice that ^^ I corrected it, sorry. Thanks for the information, Regards, cordially, Marion Leconte (talk) 06:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deletion discussion about Marie-Elisabeth von Humboldt edit

Hello Marion Leconte, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Marie-Elisabeth von Humboldt, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marie-Elisabeth von Humboldt.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Just a quick thank-you from me for expressing your views over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marie-Elisabeth von Humboldt. While I understand the desire to increase diversity on Wikipedia, there are plenty of pages just waiting to be written on women who have made a contribution through their own efforts. Regarding Marie-Elisabeth von Humboldt in particular, your translation there is very good! The good news is that with Internations Women's day we're seeing lots of new pages written about women, in part through the great efforts of Women in Red!

@Klbrain I didnt know there was a group called women in red. Thanks you back for the information. Regards, cordially, Marion (talk) 11:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Klbrain : I am happy to consider, finally the article was saved   but, I wanted to say, the discussion was really interesting for me to improve my level, usefull experience. Cordially, Marion (talk) 16:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
