Lots of edits, big and small, for readers and us all to be *thankful* for this week… but if you feel like sharing what you’re really thankful for (not just on wikiHow!), head over to this thread to let us all know:slight_smile:

Noteworthy Edits That Stood Out:

@BetteDavisFan on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Take-Care-of-Caregivers&diff=prev&oldid=25585865

  • Tamara did some great writing cleanup throughout this important topic, and added some thoughtful additions of specific advice to help caregivers avoid burnout.

@Emma490 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Design-Good-Characters&diff=prev&oldid=25585627

  • Emma clearly read this one closely, clarifying the advice throughout and adding her own advice to help readers avoid stereotypes and build convincing characters.

@Zodi on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Find-Parabola-Using-a-Point-and-a-Vertex&diff=prev&oldid=25596155

  • Zodi tackled some math formatting on this page, getting a basic article off to a solid start. There’s still lots of room for it to grow, but it’s on its way!

@RubyRoseRain on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Go-On-a-Great-Date-at-the-Movies-(for-Girls)&diff=prev&oldid=25595091

  • Ruby has been on a pronoun mission lately, converting older articles over to the modern standard of using the singular they. Her changes will help our articles speak to all kinds of readers.

@Crystal-1 and @MissLunaRose on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-a-Sensory-Room&diff=25601399&oldid=25501637

  • Crystal and Luna did some back-to-back teamwork on this new sensory topic, expanding the ideas and getting it off to a good start.

@P-Hills on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Develop-a-Website-Design-Using-Photoshop&diff=prev&oldid=25579681

  • Patti took the time to reformat this one; once she got it into wikiHow style, she added a copyedit tag in place of the format one, to allow it get that writing attention too, so it can go live for readers again in due course.

@ExoticComet on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Create-Wedding-Photo-Slideshow-Dvd-Using-Wondershare-Movie-Story&diff=prev&oldid=25590286 , @TheArtsPerson on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Do-the-Phantom-Portal-Adventure-on-Animal-Jam&diff=prev&oldid=25594902 , @Byankno1 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Use-Screenshare-in-Google-Hangouts&diff=prev&oldid=25581086 , @Zodi on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Monitor-CPU-Temperature&diff=prev&oldid=25596040 , @Vishshua on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-a-Sensory-Room&diff=prev&oldid=25601684 , @Hailey on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Be-Successful-in-a-Beauty-Retailing-Store&diff=prev&oldid=25604516 , and @R2_d2000 on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Be-Girly-and-a-Tomboy-at-the-Same-Time-(for-Preteen-Girls)&diff=prev&oldid=25614769

  • Just a handful of folks doing some of those “hidden” but important tasks - removing and fixing broken links, cleaning up double redirects, and so forth… I know others helped with this, too, beyond what I found in my edit summary hunt, so kudos to all!

@Upnorth-Here on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Take-Action-Against-Real-Property-Lease-Violations&diff=prev&oldid=25603398

  • Upnorth-Here clarified the audience of this article to make sure it was speaking to the right readers, and made a lot of helpful additions of practical advice throughout the steps.

@BudgerigarTalkColorado on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Get-a-Rare-Black-Long-Collar-on-Animal-Jam&diff=25611037&oldid=25436971 and @Hailey on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Get-a-Rare-Black-Long-Collar-on-Animal-Jam&diff=25611452&oldid=25611037

  • Another team effort here - BudgerigarTalkColorado dove in to remove some outdated/inaccurate information on this AJ topic, and Hailey happened to be the patroller who reviewed it; luckily, she knows a lot about the game herself, so she clarified the changes further. A double improvement for readers!

✯ Newbie @Cillian74ob on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Call-Ireland-From-the-United-States&diff=25602329&oldid=25599958

  • Cillian jumped in to clarify the difference between Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland here, and added some screenshots to reflect the changes.

✯ Newbie @Carter-Marcelo on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Use-High-School-Dimensional-Analysis-to-Solve-a-Conversion-Equation&diff=prev&oldid=25573635

  • Carter used his math and writing skills to fine-tune this topic, making the terminology more universal and accurate and improving the wording flow.

✯ Newbie @Girlfriend-material on https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Make-Haitian-Pork-Griot&diff=prev&oldid=25587750

  • Girlfriend-material caught an issue with the title of this recipe and made an edit to the intro to reflect the more common spelling name of the dish. That heads-up lead to a title change, too, so the whole page is more accurate for readers now.

Thanks Anna!:slight_smile:

Are my eyes bad, or do I see my name somewhere in there?

Your name is in there.  Look closely and use Ctrl-F to find it.

Cool! That’s a useful tool I didn’t know existed ;D

Aww. Thanks for the mention! Sorry I was inactive @Anna I was at Orlando the last 5 days having fun with my family. I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

There is no need to apologize. wikiHow is a voluntary project and there’s definitely not a set expectation that you’ll make X number of edits or be able to participate at any given time.:slight_smile:

Ok. Thanks!

+1 to @Eric - @Reem-Kam , There’s never any obligation to edit nor to reply here. Like any hobby, just do it when you want to (when your schedule allows and when you’re enjoying it!). Family and any other obligations should always come first:slight_smile:

Ok! Thanks @Anna and @Eric

Aww, thank you so much for the mention!:slight_smile:
