Thanks very much, I'll be reviewing these docs and hanging out in Teahouse and Task Center! Quicklibrary (talk) 11:57, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- I hope you decide to stay! Editing Wikipedia is great fun, and it has become one of my favorite hobbies. Since your talk page is on my watchlist, I noticed that you created your userpage. While there is nothing wrong with that, it is usually a good practice to "spell out" an email address, instead of writing it as it is. The reason behind the practice is that the internet is full of bots that scan random webpages (not just Wikipedia, but other public sites as well) to find email addresses they can send spam mail to or use for illegitimate purposes. One can "spell out" their email in a way in which it would be obvious to a human, but a bot would likely not pick up on it. For instance — abc[at]xyz[dot]com — would make it harder for a spam bot to recognize the email address, but it would still be fairly obvious to the human eye. If you have any questions regarding editing Wikipedia, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help. — The Most Comfortable Chair 06:02, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
That makes so much sense - I'll change that! Also, is this the preferred way to message or is there something like a Confluence Page or Slack for wikipedia? Quicklibrary (talk) 18:31, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Talk pages are the preferred venue for talking to other editors when discussing articles or Wikipedia-related topics. There are a number of Internet Relay Chat channels you can use for specific purposes or general chatting. Wikipedia also has a Discord server. Some users will have emails enabled in their account — I have used it to exchange snail mail with editors I know I can trust (editors I have frequently worked with). Although not required, using indentation in replies is recommended when communicating on a talk page, as it makes it easier to follow the flow of the conversation. — The Most Comfortable Chair 02:40, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
