How to look at the changes to an article
Select...
  Article version selection  
...and compare!
  Differences between two page versions  

In the page history for any page, click (prev) (#9 on the image top right‍—‌click on the image to see a larger version) to see the changes for any version from the one just before it. To compare a series of versions, just click any two radio-buttons to select the set of versions, then click the Compare selected versions button (this only works if you have JavaScript enabled).

You should be presented with a screen that shows you which words have been removed and which ones have been added (affected words are highlighted in red). You always can revert to an earlier version by selecting it from the history, editing and saving it. We call these "diffs" because the URL has the word "diff" in it. Diff is short for difference.

[edit]

Hello Greg, have a read here about WP:CWW about taking information from one page within wikipedia (My Dad Wrote a Porno) to another (Belinda Blinked). Basically what you are doing is replicating the page without any attribution, which is not good practice, firstly because its not necessary to have two virtually identical pages, but also it may inadvertantly appear that you are claiming you did the work yourself. I will take a look and trim some of it out, but in future you need to properly attribute copied work and I think at the least you need to make an attribution on talk explaining that the work is copied. I can see that you are a new editor so if there is anything you would like help with don't hesitate to ask on my talk page. Thanks. Mramoeba (talk) 09:01, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, DJ Nihal, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:26, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
