Hi,

I finally made an account !

I've been improving References by finding working PDF links and fixing dead links.

I keep my edit summary as the following:

"found working pdf links"

so I can find them again from my IP address.

Hopefully now I will remember to be logged in before making changes, so it's attributed to me !

This is a page where I recently added a lot of pdf links (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kenning&action=history) from 23rd Sept to 7th Oct 2019 !

I use the following websites to find research papers:

• DuckDuckGo search
• Google Scholar
• ResearchGate
• Academia.edu

I also use Wayback Machine to save PDF links etc that have not been archived.

For academia.edu links found on Google Scholar, it's useful to save the PDF to Wayback Machine.

If you can't find a paper, you can also search for the journal and find the paper that way.

That's how I managed to find this paper for the Gilbert's potoroo page.

I use Solus Mate as my operating system (2017-now). The first Linux distro I used was Linux Mint Mate (2012-2017).

Since Solus is a rolling-release Linux distro, I don't have to reinstall major new versions, just install all updates and restart !
