Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with

fruit to be a
healthier alternative.
Hello, OmegaMantis, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for
your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.
Please
sign your name on
talk pages, by using four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username and the date, and helps to identify who said what and when. Please do not sign any edit that is not on a talk page.
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are
semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible
templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only
administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been
blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Do a search on
Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
In a new tab/window, go to the
citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A
WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See
this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Hi there, OmegaMantis, and welcome to Women in Red. I see from the above that you have created a short biography which is facing problems. I suggest you look through our

Thanks for adding my discoveries of the new earliest emoji, as reported by Emojipedia, to the page. I made a minor edit to clarify that Emojipedia did not uncover any of the three sets mentioned.
Also, I've made yet another emoji discovery, this time from 1985. I'm waiting to receive some physical items and then we can do the dance all over again. Cheers! —

No problem! Congrats on your new findings!
I do think that before the 1985 ones are added we should wait for Emojipedia to cover it, as since emoji definitions are fuzzy a secondary source would probably be needed to clear things up and make it more official.
Of course! There's no need to rush it as almost 40 years have passed already. I'll try to put together a list of published references: books, magazines, manuals, brochures, to cover all of these discoveries. That seems more thorough than a reblog of my blog. —

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
