Thanks and welcome![edit]

Hi there. I saw your article Isabelle de Borchgrave in newpages and just wanted to welcome you and thank you for the high quality of your contributions so far. I'm certainly impressed how quickly you seem to be getting up to speed on how Wikipedia works--I know it can be a confusing place sometimes, but Isabelle de Borchgrave is a great new article with lots of sources and details to boot. If you ever have questions or need help with something, feel free to let me know (on my talk page) and I'll do my best to help or point you to someone who can. Looking forward to seeing more from you, and again, welcome! Zachlipton (talk) 08:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just to illustrate how much I like the article, I'm actually making a note here to go see her exhibit that just opened at the Legion of Honor Museum, as I'm fortunate enough to live nearby and it looks fascinating :) Zachlipton (talk) 08:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zach, I wonder if you can help me with dealing with an "Orphan" heading that someone placed on my article on Isabelle de Borchgrave. I am not sure what this means and if I should simply remove it or do something to the article. I would greatly appreciate your participation, if you have time. Thanks.--Patriciathornton (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)--Patriciathornton[reply]

Congrats! Zachlipton (talk) 07:36, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Isabelle de Borchgrave[edit]

On 1 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Isabelle de Borchgrave, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave creates life-size, painted paper sculptures of wedding gowns, shoes, needlework lace, and strings of pearls? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
