Welcome
Welcome, Abigail Richie!

If you have any questions, you can ask in the assistance reading room or possibly contact me personally.

Thanks for your contributions. Also, wikijunior is for young children, so they might not know what the word "attend" means.L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 11:49, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks so much for having me here😊. About the word 'attend' let me remind you that we learn everyday, please let's teach the children and don't give them that impression that a word like 'attend' is too big for them to understand it's too early for that. Well it also depends on the age but I believe an infant or toddler can't have custody of a    smartphone although I never meant any harm. Abigail Richie (discuss • contribs) 14:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Nobody ever thought you ment harm :). Well, I didn't, at least. But I can't read everybody else's mind. And it wasn't me who undid your edit (see below). I don't write wikijunior policies but I prefer to follow them. But no worries :)L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 14:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Well it's fine 'no worries' like you said 👊🦁🤴 Abigail Richie (discuss • contribs) 15:04, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Recent edits
Your recent changes to Wikijunior:Famous Inventors/Early Inventors/Galileo have been reverted. Wikijunior pages are intended for children so it is best to use simple language where possible. 'Where did this person go to school?' is far more simple than 'What school did this person attend?' and 'a long way away' is more simple than 'farther/further'.--Xania   talk 11:52, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Well, I meant no harm. Since the children are the future of tomorrow I thought it would be nice to improve their vocabs, and let's not give them the impression that there are words to big for them to learn or pronounce. Pls it's too early for that. Abigail Richie (discuss • contribs) 14:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Apologies. I take your point. Please don't be discouraged from editing. As someone with a background in languages I feel it's best to keep the language simple - especially the vocabulary. I can see that complex grammar may be fine though.--Xania [[Image:Flag_of_the_Isle_of_Mann.svg|15px]] [[Image:Flag_of_Ukraine.svg|15px]] talk 14:49, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
