To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}}
on your userpage.

VRT verified can add self information?
[edit]Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Recently you reverted my edit on Kerry Sulkowicz where an editor (now confirmed to be Kerry Sulkowicz himself) added about his personal information without adding a reliable source. I don't think being verified makes them any exception to add information without a reliable source (even if it about themselves). You restored their version and stated "allowed to add as per VRT verified". Can you tell which particular policy or guideline you are referring to here? If no, then kindly revert your edit (reverted) because as I know being VRT verified doesn't give you any special say in what is in your article. Thanks, ExclusiveEditor Notify Me! 18:30, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for information and revert. @Nthep: I wanted to know whether they are allowed to edit own article even after successfully VRT verified. It will let me avoid such reverts in future. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 06:10, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- There are no restrictions on subjects editing the article about them other than those which apply to any editor about COI and BLP. I wouldn't get too worried about edits like the one in question. If the subject is adding that type of detail themselves, I think a) they're OK with the information being out there and b) it's accurate, so I'd possibly tag it with {{cn}} and maybe remind the subject they are not a reliable source about themselves.
