:::: Hey, Arctic Circle System. That sounds like a good plan, and I hope you'll get some discussion going. Do note though that ''sometimes'', a talk page post can go without reply for ages... It is not often a ''necessity'' to discuss an edit before making it, and for a change that seems like a clear improvement, it is usually good to "[[WP:be bold|be bold]]".

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Arctic Circle System! Thank you for your contributions. I am HiLo48 and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. If you wish to contact me on this page, please use {{Ping|HiLo48}}
such that I get notified of your request. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}}
at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- The Teahouse, our help forum for new users
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! HiLo48 (talk) 22:59, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Minor edits
Hey, Arctic Circle System. Just one little thing for your information: the meaning of "minor edit" is a little more narrow than you might think. Any edit that that adds or removes content, or otherwise significantly changes the meaning of an article, is not really considered "minor". Types of edit for which it is considered appropriate to check the "minor edit" box are listed here. Please try to keep this in mind in the future - in particular, when you add an entry to a list or table, please do not mark the edit as minor. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask them. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 14:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- My apologies, will keep that in mind for the future. ~Nai of Arctic Circle System (talk) 06:24, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

My apologies
: it's not a problem:)
. It's really only a little thing, and you can't know everything in advance. Wikipedia's policy, guideline and information pages are a lot, so everyone learns over time as they go. - One other thing you might not be aware of is notifying people. In this case I saw your reply because I put your talk page on my watchlist, but otherwise I would not have seen it. You can notify someone by linking to their user page in your comment, known as "pinging" them - specifics here. You can also use a template like
{{ping}}
for this, as demonstrated by HiLo48 above. I should note that some editors have receiving pings turned off in their settings; the most reliable way to get someone's attention is to make a post on their user talk page. Kind regards from PJvanMill)talk( 13:02, 25 January 2022 (UTC)- @PJvanMill: Thank you! I will use that in the future. For now we're gonna go ask about the fate of the Europe section of List of indigenous peoples on the talk page, because that got removed fairly recently because it was a mess and while we know for sure there are certain groups that need to be readded (like the Sámi and Pavee), there are others that we need to do further research into to see if there are reliable sources that consider them to be Indigenous peoples (which gets hard in situations where many sources on any given ethnic group are not in English) and we really don't want to make changes to the article without checking in. ~Nai of Arctic Circle System (talk) 13:21, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
