Welcome to my Wikipedia work desk. I keep useful links, lists of things to do and other Wikipedia-related stuff here.

Picture of the day Ethel Smyth (1858–1944) was an English composer and a member of the women's suffrage movement. Her compositions include songs, works for piano, chamber music, orchestral works, choral works and operas. Smyth's extensive body of work includes the Concerto for Violin, Horn and Orchestra, and the Mass in D. Her opera The Wreckers is considered by some critics to be the "most important English opera composed during the period between Purcell and Britten". This photograph of Smyth was taken in 1922.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden

Tip of the day... Go to the right desk The Teahouse is primarily for newer editors' questions about topics such as creating pages, citing sources, and approval of articles. The Help desk is for more experienced editors' questions about how to use Wikipedia. Village pump (technical) is for more technical questions about Wikipedia. The Reference desk is for questions about life, the universe, and everything (other than about Wikipedia). It's a virtual version of the reference desk at a library. Wikipedians are very knowledgeable, and if they don't know the answer, they can probably find it pretty quickly.
