Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Hi and welcome!

Hey! I'm delighted to see a new user doing what you're planning to do with the GA push for Moss. I've got some experience with GA stuff, let me know if you have any questions about that. I'd also like to recommend checking out WP:DISCORD; it was really helpful for me when I was trying to make my first GAs. Generalissima (talk) 16:49, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, @Generalissima, that's such high praise!

I'll check out WP:DISCORD, I'm SO pleased you mentioned it. I was wondering if there might be a discord for editors! It'll be lovely to be able to pester them with all of my questions, hah.

P.S. Do you know where I might find an archive of the original GA nomination for Moss? I'd like to study it in detail.

Of course, glad I can help you out. And someone posted the link to the archive on the Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations‎ thread, although I will confess it does not appear particularly helpful due to its age. Generalissima (talk) 17:24, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh, that's excellent! Thank you so much, I'll take a look.

Even if it's not very current, it'll help me grasp the thought process behind evaluating GA nominations! Polytrichum commune (talk) 17:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'm active again after a long week at the office : )

I tend to edit in little leaps and marathons, then disappear into my IRL work for a while. I need like, an "Out of office" button for my userpage Polytrichum commune (talk) 20:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!
