The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun! 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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

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

If you need further help, you can:

  Ask a question

or even:

  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, place {{helpme}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.


Again, welcome,  and happy editing!

Help me!

[edit]

Hello, I have a few questions at this time, about the site I created called, 'Ferro (architecture)'. First of all, I am happy to cooperate with the Creative Common sharing program. Also, I would like to add to the site by showing examples of ferri from different cities throughout Tuscany and Umbria. This would demonstrate the diversity of iron work from these different towns and regions. Is there a limit to how many images/examples can be shown? Also, I had sent in a photo of a beautiful ferro from Pisa, and so far, it has not been added to the site. Also, on the site, the word 'medieval' is spelled incorrectly, and I would prefer to have that changed, I don't know how to make that change. And lastly, I am not always sure that I am doing this all correctly, because I may wish to add pertinent information to the site in the future, and I'd like to do it properly. Thank you folks at Wikipedia for all your help in making this site happen. My best, John


Please help me with...

Hi, Guida1949! There's no specific limit on the number of images that can be included in an article, and indeed no agreement; some have a lot, others very few. In general, an article should not turn into a picture-gallery; a useful guideline is WP:NOTGALLERY. I added several images to that page to show a wider diversity of ferri; there are dozens more on commons, many of them taken by Sailko, who is a kind of phenomenon. The place to create the sort of gallery of images you mention is really there, not here (you could, for example, create a category for "Ferri da facciata", and a gallery page for it).
In my kind of English, "Mediaeval" is considered correct; it's given as an alternative spelling in my Webster's dictionary too. Since you created the article, I have restored the spelling you used.
If you ask questions here I should see them. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I recently uploaded many more "ferri" from the old town of Gubbio. You can see the commons:Category:Wrought_iron_in_Gubbio. Thanks for appreciations! --Sailko (talk) 09:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I suggest you to upload your gentle images to Commons, to in wikipedia, where all the people can find. Please use the commons:Category:Wrought_iron_in_Florence or similar --Sailko (talk) 09:41, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
