January 2024 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Winnieswikiworld,
- It looks like this was an isolated incident of moving an article to the wrong namespace, which you then reverted, so this is just a message reminding you to be careful when moving any pages on the project and be sure to check the namespace field. Thank you for your contributions! Liz Read! Talk! 01:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Liz for that information. Winnieswikiworld (talk) 01:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Phomen Singh edit
On 5 February 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Phomen Singh, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Phomen Singh (pictured), an early Indian migrant to New Zealand, sold sweets and chutneys out of a suitcase? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Phomen Singh. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Phomen Singh), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Media outreach edit
I endorse what others have said about media outreach. I once worked with a couple of journalists from Auckland on a podcast about Wikipedia. I can put you in touch with them if you wish. Schwede66 21:36, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

A fox for you! edit
Thank you very much for creating Ghazaleh Golbakhsh, I've really enjoyed learning about her and her work. You should consider joining WikiProject Women in Red, a WikiProject focused on creating entries for women's biographies and related topics and assisting contributors. If you wish to participate, you can sign up under "New registrations", or feel free to ask for assistance on the talk page any time. Thanks again for your contributions. :) (Why a fox? No specific reason, but I saw you already had a kitten!)
