Hello current and aspiring Wikipedians

My name is Derek
I'm an online educator, and my digital teaching and learning is both visible and persistent. Wikipedia itself is still a relatively new environment for me. I have worked on the web for many years.

I've chatted to a range of people about Wikipedia. Am very grateful to the many people who have helped me find my way.
Here in Gauteng, I appreciate Bobby Shabangu (for inducting me to this environment), and Matete Lesele (for the good company). Both have been very kind. Internationally Cogdog's encouragement and open efforts have been really really appreciated.

Comment: Hi Derek, alas deletion seems to be all the rage these days, in English Wikipedia anyway. There is a blatant element of subjectivity as the deleters only target items posted by those with humble/modest editing records. I once created a biographical article that was made candidate for speedy deletion, but even though I continued adding citations etc. it remained in limbo, until a friend with a high "rank" kindly moved it into mainspace, where it remains to this day.

Comment: Hello Michael. Sorry about taking such a long time to reply. English Wikipedia is a very robust environment and there is an unfortunate arrogance. This is why I really enjoy Vernacular Wikipedia. So much more space on this learning experience platform. (LXP). Derek J Moore (talk · contribs)
