Intellectual disability

Hi Ficaia, thanks for starting the Intellectual disability article. As a precaution I moved the first quote to the talk page and explained there, see Talk:Intellectual disability. -- Mdd (talk) 12:00, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Your additions

Thank you for all your additions - it is great to see new pages continue to be created. One thing that I would ask is that you include a link to the appropriate Wikipedia page in the intro. I've been adding it to your new pages, but it would be helpful if you had it from the beginning. Thanks. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:53, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

@UDScott, I personally would rather Ficaia was encouraged to create more pages rather than be tasked with routine stuff that can be easily added by others. How about suggesting this to good-faith newbies as ENWQ-training? It will free both you and Ficaia to do what you enjoy more, and it will introduce newbies to some sorely missing topics. A win-win?

Am I making sense? Ottawahitech (talk) 19:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ottawahitech, not sure I understand your point, but if you are suggesting that it is not a good idea to educate users on some of the basics of pages simply because these tasks are easy and could be done by others - then no, I disagree. Why can't you do both? Encourage the creation of new pages, while also helping such users to create pages that don't require additional maintenance. I for one would rather spend my time elsewhere on the project than have to clean up pages, plus I believe it is better to have users learn rather than continue to repeat easily fixed omissions or errors. I also don't feel that my interaction with Ficaia was in any way discouraging them to continue to add pages (and in fact, we've both moved on and the issue I raised has been addressed). I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to comment on it. ~ UDScott (talk) 15:09, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Is there a reason for adding additional paragraphs between individual quotes? Biohistorian15 (talk) 17:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

For some articles I I think it looks nicer and helps distinguish the quotes Ficaia (talk) 18:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh, ok. I don't personally like it very much, but you might want to clarify that kind of stuff with an invisible comment if there are reasons like that. Biohistorian15 (talk) 18:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
