Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
  Perform maintenance tasks
           
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ashley Tisdale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC News. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:53, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon I noticed that a message you recently left to a newcomer may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It may take some time, but it helps us retain new editors. Thank you.

Civility

Just a note to say edit summaries like this one are not acceptable behaviour. Even if you strongly disagree with what another editor has done, you should assume they did it in good faith (unless it's obviously just vandalism) and remain civil in addressing them. Thanks. Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Harsh language in edit summaries

Thanks for your vandalism reversion on Sheriff Callie's Wild West. Please remember the subject is a children's show, and using f-bombs in edit summaries is not the best look for those sorts of articles (or any articles for that matter). I'm not telling you what to do, but please develop some sense of proportion before using unduly descriptive language like that you used today and apparently on October 2.

FYI, that IP is now blocked. BusterD (talk) 13:47, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Magical Golden Whip. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wizards Beyond Waverly Place that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. There is no need to do this in edit summaries. Magical Golden Whip (talk) 15:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not delete or alter legitimate talk page comments from other editors, as you did at User talk: Widr. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Despite the circumstances I don't think you should do this. Sandcat555 (talk) 08:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand completely, but said talk page commenter is a sockpuppet who enjoys harassing me. HotDogsforDays (talk) 08:07, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HotDogsforDays That is true, yes, but deleting a comment that may appear legitimate to other, uninvolved editors is never a good idea. Sandcat555 (talk) 08:09, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sandcat555, that was a legitimate revert per WP:BANREVERT. C F A 17:01, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CFA You're right, sorry Sandcat555 (talk) 05:28, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
