Hi, I usually look 2 places for book sources.
For most of these old books, newspapers.com (via TWL) has enough reviews to demonstrate notability. To search there, I simply searched the book title with quotes around it to ensure exact matches. Sometimes, as in the case of A Child of the Revolution, there's a lot of false positives, so limiting to a few years around the publication usually works. The other place is ProQuest (also via TWL), which isn't as good for older books, but is fine for newer ones, and I perform the same searches there, with the same steps as newspapers.com (quote marks around the title). Google Search/Books/News occaisonally returns good results, but it's a bit of a hit or miss.
As for the Baroness Orczy novels - yes, I believe most of them NBOOK; there's a few at WP:DELSORT/LIT that I was able to find reviews for via newspapers.com, and I'm sure her other books will have also been reviewed. Happy searching! ARandomName123 ( talk)Ping me! 00:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
Hey there, LEvalyn! I wanted to ask you if you've considered becoming a new page patroller. I've seen you active at AfC more recently, and that kind of work translates quite naturally into patrolling. We're running a backlog drive next month, so now is a great time to get into things if you're interested. There's plenty of help available from other patrollers (both on-wiki and on Discord), and if you're on the fence and need something cleared up, feel free to ask me any questions. I hope you'll consider it! — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 20:01, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello! Nice to meet you. I hope to become a successful editor!
I have one question that's more to do with account management than editing. Wikipedia wants me to confirm my email, but it's actually *not* the correct email. I made a typo (.dom instead of .com), how would I change that? -- ElliePadd ( talk) 06:54, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello - I recently made additions to the page - United_States_at_the_2024_Winter_Youth_Olympics - I included the recently announced qualifiers for the men's and women's luge events. The edits have since been taken down. I've tried to look around and find out why, but can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. -- Daniel Ocean05 ( talk) 22:24, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! Happy to join wikipedia's community!
I'm curious, if I can start editing right away or if I should read all the documentation provided before starting to edit.
I have a couple of questions: 1. Can I edit just a part of the text even though there are more edits to be done? 2. For the articles that require editing and that Wikipedia asks me to edit, sometimes, I can't quite pin what needs to be edited, is there always stuff that need to be edited? 3. Is it a better practice to edit everything that is suggested one after the other? What's your personal take on this? 4. Will someone double check my edits
Thanks and cheers! -- Xamodeo ( talk) 23:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Just a reminder that, if you have time, you are welcome to join the GA backlog drive; it runs until the end of March.

Hello, i am just created my account to edit some article in Wikipedia. But i don't know how to add a new section in talk or in the article and also how to list my name in every comment so some bot didn't just detect my comments unlisted. So, if you had an easy-for-beginners tutorial, it would help alot for me. -- MahmoudAbbasAlDilfti ( talk) 01:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Knives Out, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wide-angle. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

The article
A Spy on Mother Midnight you nominated as a
good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the
good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See
