Welcome...
Hello, Celine1776, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help
- How to write a great article
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or .
I wanted to alert you to the internal links you added at Peter Thoeming. Per WP:OLINK, many of these names are left unlinked:
Unless a term is particularly relevant to the context in the article, the following are usually not linked:
- Everyday words understood by most readers in context (e.g., education, violence, aircraft, river)
- Common occupations (e.g., accountant, politician, actor)
- The names of subjects with which most readers will be at least somewhat familiar. This generally includes major examples of:
- countries (e.g., Japan/Japanese, Brazil/Brazilian)
- geographic features (e.g., the Himalayas, Pacific Ocean, South America)
- locations (e.g., Berlin; New York City, or just New York if the city context is already clear; London, if the context rules out London, Ontario; Southeast Asia)
- languages (e.g., English, Arabic, Korean, Spanish)
- nationalities and ethnicities (e.g., English, British, Chinese, Turkish, African-American, Hispanic)
- religions (e.g., Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism)
Perhaps you would go through them and de-link, as part of the learning process. Also please note that external links embedded into the prose are not allowed (ADVrider.com). It's also a form of advertising. Thank you.

Thanks for the guidance! I will delink as indicated. Celine1776 (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

edit Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please see MOS:LQ for guidance on punctuation of quotations. Elizium23 (talk) 01:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for your assistance. After consulting with the Wikipedia style guideline, I see my error on the punctuation issues. I'm less clear on why the sentence regarding the comment from Alice McDermott was deleted. Can you explain? Celine1776 (talk) 03:10, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Celine1776, that was an accident, and I have restored it. Elizium23 (talk) 03:13, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
Many thanks!!! Celine1776 (talk) 03:15, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I apologize for the confusion. Happy editing! Elizium23 (talk) 03:16, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
You as well! Celine1776 (talk) 03:18, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

editHi Celine, thank you for editing the page about the above novel; great attention to detail. I'm interested that the page states the religious matter in the novel is Catholic, because it seems to me to be evangelical. I'd like to hear what you think. Yours, fellow Wikipedia reader.

The New topic tool helps editors create new ==Sections== on discussion pages. New editors are more successful with this new tool. You can read the report. Soon, the Editing team will offer this to all editors at most WMF-hosted wikis. You can join the discussion about this tool for the English Wikipedia is at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Enabling the New Topic Tool by default. You will be able to turn it off in the tool or at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.
The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022. The goal is to add some information and make discussions look visibly different from encyclopedia articles. You can see some ideas at Wikipedia talk:Talk pages project#Prototype Ready for Feedback.

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
- The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
- They are beginning a new project, Edit check.
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.
