What a lovely gesture, thank you for the warm belated welcome :)

true, i have been around for a while, but there is so much to learn on wikipedia, so im going to use all the wonderful help you showed me. I'm actually fascinated by wiki and enjoy exploring this universe. So the help desk is like the tea house? What other shared public spaces are there?

February 2026

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Iain Cameron (snow researcher), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. article was still an orphan Theroadislong (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry for that, i removed the orphan tag, only after i added links, and saw that there were 9 linkes added in total to that article... how many links do we need so it won't be considered an orphan? Happypenguins82 (talk) 16:34, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

an orphan article is one that no other article links to, you are adding outbound links NOT links in other articles. See Wikipedia:Orphan. Theroadislong (talk) 16:42, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to explain, ill read more about it to better understand, i was sure i added links from that article to other articles. Happypenguins82 (talk) 16:49, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you did, but that doesn't solve it being an orphan read WP:ORPHAN. Theroadislong (talk) 17:18, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I took your advice and read the WP:ORPHAN, so i went back and linked it properly from the other article as well, i won't remove the tag however until i'll be able to connect it to at least another article. I appreciate the valuable lesson, thanks :) Happypenguins82 (talk) 19:56, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Happypenguins82, thank you for all the work you're doing. Please could I ask that you be a bit more mindful when adding categories to articles though. For example on Snow patch, the Category:Researchers and Category:Researchers by field are inappropriate. That article is not about a researcher, and those categories are primarily Wikipedia:Container category rather than for individual articles. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:22, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please also take care when "improving" sources, your edits at Lycée Edmond Perrier added primary sources which are not required, secondary sources are what is needed. Theroadislong (talk) 10:41, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kj cheetham, thank you for the kind remark, ill make double sure to learn more about categories and pay extra attention to which categories i'm choosing.✔️🙏 Happypenguins82 (talk) 12:49, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi theroadislong, appreciate all the good notes, so just to see that i understand, should i avoid primary sources in general? Happypenguins82 (talk) 12:55, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

yes... articles should be based on what secondary sources report. Theroadislong (talk) 12:57, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

To add, if you'd like to read more about types of sources, please see WP:PSTS. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:58, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's awsome! looks like i found my next reading material 📖

thank you. 😊🐧🐧 Happypenguins82 (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, ill delete the sources, and look for secondary ones. ✔️ thanks :) Happypenguins82 (talk) 13:22, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
