I'm feeling a bit baffled. How am I including promotional content?LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- I just realized that you copied content from List of people from Goa into Goa. I apologise for the above message implying that you're promoting. Also, we don't have to copy all the content. Separate pages exist for their topics. And, in cases where we copy from page to another in Wikipedia, we need to attribute it as described at WP:CWW. Welcome to Wikipedia, happy editing and sorry once again! — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 07:51, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- I did some further reading. I don't understand why the section has to remain blank on the page. Could you please clarify? LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 03:28, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
No problem at all, I appreciate your swift response. I have a lot of reading to do.LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

On behalf of the coordinators, we hope you enjoy participating and wish you good luck!

- After reviewing the contest, I don't think I am qualified to review pages. I'd like to withdraw and work on developing my expertise before participating in similar contests. LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 04:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hey León, I'm sorry to hear that! I have removed you from the contest at your request. I do want you to be informed, however, that the DCWC rewards more than just reviewing. For example, you could create an article to nominate at Did you know? or In the news, which you may then nominate to be a good article — which are all non-reviewing opportunities. If you would like to improve your content reviewing skills specifically, you can ask for a mentor, and an experienced editor will guide you through your first review of a good article nominee on a topic of your choice. I'm here to answer any relevant questions if you have them! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- On second thought, I would benefit from mentorship. I'm a bit stretched for time, so I will pace myself. Do I need to re-enlist? My name is still on the sign-up list. (Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Signups) LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 03:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Great to hear that! I have put your name back up on the leaderboard; no further action is needed from you. I hope you'll find the mentorship resources educational, and I'm looking forward to your submissions to the contest! I just want to leave another friendly reminder that you can always reach out on the contest talk page for help and guidance from other experienced participants. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
