There is a substantial backlog of unsourced articles on Wikipedia, and we need your help! The purpose of this drive is to add sources to these unsourced articles and make a meaningful impact. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles cited. Remember to tag your edit summary with [[WP:FEB24]], both to advertise the event and tally the points later using Edit Summary Search.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:38, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome, welcome, welcome! It's so exciting to see new blood participating in the drive (pardon me if you are a vampire). I edited on Wikipedia since I was around high school and I was addicted since then, so you do have company :). I suggest you take a look at the detailed instructions and practice following the procedures on any of your favorite uncited articles. You can find uncited articles by typing [search term] incategory:"All articles lacking sources" in the search box, where the search term could be anything: board games, high schools, etc. It acts like a normal search but it would only find articles that are within Category:All articles lacking sources. Anyways, I wish you good luck for the February drive, you'll need it. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 13:28, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice message and advice, Cacti! I definitely will use that. Waylon (he was here) (Does my editing suck? Let's talk.) (Also, not to brag, but...) 15:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

hi, Waylon, I just wanted to let you know, i reverted your revert, as the school's website does show maz turner as the head. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 19:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Alright. Sorry about the revert, I saw your edit come up in a edit abuse log, and I reverted it because it didn't show a source. Waylon (was) (here) 21:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

wasn't my edit initially, but all is in good faith. I probably would have reverted it too on first look. -- Aunva6^{talk - contribs} 14:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
