Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Wikilinking
[edit]Thank you for your interest in editing Wikipedia. I noticed you were having some issues with creating WIkilinks. Wikilinks are internal links from one Wikipedia article to another. They look like this:
- [[article name]]
So if you were trying to link to an article about a certain person (like Sofia Carson), a WIkilink to their article would look like this:
- [[Sofia Carson]]
Please take a look at General points on linking style and Wikilinks to better understand how to successfully create Wikilinks.
Also, in one of your edits. it appeared that you might have been trying to create a hatnote, a short note at the beginning of articles that help readers locate another article with a similar name. The instruction page on how to construct hatnotes can be found at Wikipedia:Hatnote. If you need to see some examples of hatnotes please refer to Hatnotes:Examples of proper use.
Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 16:20, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
Sofia Carson
[edit]None of the uncited information you've added on Carson is available online. How do you know this information? Do you know her personally? If so, do you have a conflict of interest? Based on your edit history, you seem to have a disproportionate interest in the subject. -- Irn (talk) 16:13, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

[edit] You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Irn (talk) 17:50, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
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. -- Irn (talk) 17:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
You might want to take a look at MOS:REFPUNCT, so you now how to handle punctuation when you add a citation. Just so you know... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:53, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
