Excellent work on Pope Pius XI. Great to have someone with that ability on board. One tip: create a user account for yourself. The reason is simple. A lot of anonymous IP number editors simply vandalise pages so people instinctively check IP edits. But when there is an account we immediately know someone's work by name and so know to trust their work rather than constantly checking to see if this or that IP is a vandal. People will still check work but it means that people know who they are dealing with. (I can see immediately who has edited what article. It helps knowing that so and so, who is great on politics, or sport, or religion, or whatever, has edited an article. I can read their work for pleasure, rather than going to the page with trepidation wondering if the unknown IP made a good edit or added in an obscenity.) It also means that if people know you are a good writer on a particular area they can go to you and ask you to help sort out a problem article. It also means that where a user is trusted they can be made an admin, which gives them additional powers for dealing with vandalism, for locking pages that vandals are targeting, etc.

A lot of the papal articles need work. Some are good. Some not so good. Please keep up the good work. If I can be of any help please feel free to ask. FearÉIREANN\^{(caint) 04:13, 13 November 2005 (UTC)}

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user, identified by the user's numerical IP address. Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users. Registering also hides your IP address.
