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.
2024 Conflict of interest notice with the University of Notre Dame
[edit]
Hello, Heeheeheecollege. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GuardianH (talk) 16:52, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Heeheeheecollege! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at University of Notre Dame that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Wozal (talk) 00:15, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.
Points to note:
- 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 and 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. ElKevbo (talk) 13:02, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- ElKevbo, while I understand your concerns, I would like to point out that the removal of well-sourced content without prior discussion also disrupts consensus-building. Per WP:BRD, once a revert occurs, the next step should be to discuss the content on the Talk page rather than continuing to revert.
- The material regarding Notre Dame's admissions selectivity is both verifiable WP:V and supported by reliable sources WP:RS, specifically CNN and US News. These sources directly discuss Notre Dame's admissions selectivity, making the information not only accurate but also relevant to understanding the institution's profile. Moreover, admissions selectivity is a key characteristic of any university ranked at Notre Dame's level, satisfying WP:DUE for inclusion. Removing this without a clear consensus violates WP:BRD, as it is incumbent on those removing well-sourced content to justify their removal in discussion. It should be the editors removing the information to reach consensus on the Talk page if they believe this material is unsuitable, rather than reverting established, sourced content arbitrarily.
