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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}}
on your userpage.Sincerely, Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:37, 5 January 2016 (UTC) (Leave me a message)

Sandbox
[edit]I've had to revert a change you made to Talk:Doing gender as not constructive. From your contribution history, you appear to be familiar with the concept of the Sandbox, so please follow the guidelines when you wish to make test edits. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 21:07, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Your recent edits
[edit] Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Welcome aboard!
[edit]I also work a lot with students. Here are a few useful tips that I've found made the experience better for all:
I have them use the Wikipedia Adventure before they start editing: The Wikipedia Adventure Start Page
It is also a courtesy to the many other projects on Wikipedia to put a note on the talk page indicating to which Wikipedia Project an article might be of interest. To find, a list of WikiProjects, see: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory --- TeriEmbrey (talk) 19:54, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
