Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} 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

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!

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:28, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cosmetic edits

[edit]

Please stop removing whitespace from infoboxes and elsewhere. These are called "cosmetic edits" because they don't change anything that a reader will see, and do nothing to improve the articles. Although the edits themselves are basically harmless, they annoy other editors who have spent time lining up the = signs to make it easier to read for an editor. More importantly, every change you make causes a entry in many editors' watchlists and wastes their time in reviewing your edits which do nothing. --RexxS (talk) 11:00, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bisogn. I don't understand why you removed a dash from a quotation here. The dash was actually needed for syntax, but the main problem is that quotes are supposed to be exact, and the dash was in the original. Please never "copyedit" quotations. If you have done so in other places (I don't have time to check), please go back and correct yourself. Bishonen | talk 11:17, 27 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. MarnetteD|Talk 17:45, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Public-access television, you may be blocked from editing. LiberatorG (talk) 22:39, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
