Welcome![edit]

Hello, Vanessa Fay, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Svetha Venkatesh, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! David.moreno72 04:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Svetha Venkatesh[edit]

The article Svetha Venkatesh has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

ANI notice[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:48, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up[edit]

It appears that you're participating in the Wikibomb2016, an editathon for Australian women STEM academics! Welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to welcome you and say that if you have any questions I'd be happy to assist you. One thing I would recommend you and your fellow Wikibomb2016 editors look at is WP:PROF which is a notability guideline specifically for academics. Unfortunately, not everyone is considered "notable" enough to have their own Wikipedia article (see the general notability guidelines as well). Figuring out Wikipedia's rules and bureaucracy can be frustrating, so feel free to {{ping}} me by using {{ping|EvergreenFir}} when you reply to this message or you can come to my user talk page at User talk:EvergreenFir if you have any questions. Cheers! EvergreenFir (talk) 06:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

After all that above - another one - If you have any difficulty, most of the above is generic and not Australian - in Australia we have an editing community that is very supportive and editors who are keen to help and speak.

Please never be discouraged!

The Australian noticeboard is at Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians'_notice_board
The South Australian project can be contacted at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_South_Australia
The Wikimedia Australia chapter can be contacted via email to [email protected] for other than editorial assistance.

We look forward to your involvement with more editing/exploring wikipedia, and welcome on board !!! JarrahTree 02:29, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Svetha Venkatesh[edit]

Hi Vanessa Fay! I just wanted to stop by and thank you for adding the article on Svetha Venkatesh. I hadn't heard of her before, and I should have - her work with data analysis is fantastic. I keep thinking of big data only in terms of things like marketing, but her use of it for applications like suicide prevention made me rethink things. Thanks for writing about her, and I think Wikipedia is much improved by having more articles on scientists such as Venkatesh. - Bilby (talk) 23:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
