Hello, Lynadg, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:33, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Lynadg, I am an even newer wikipedia editor than you are. Still feeling my way around. Quite some years ago I was beginning to develop some expertise in colonial Brazilian history. Now, in retirement. I am trying to catch up to where I was back then. I have begun editing the History of Pernambuco article which doesn't seem to have attracted any attention since 2014. I have another fairly large section about ready to post. (I am still working on getting the references in acceptable condition.) If you are still working on anything, I would be interested in comparing notes as we are editing. I am not absolutely certain that my talk page or my "account" is in correct functioning order as my signature always comes up in red, which I thought meant the item does not exist. So I will try to watch this page to see if you respond. P2dwight (talk) 16:20, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
