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
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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!

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Donald trumo, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 17:27, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent further vandalism.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Widr (talk) 17:54, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I apologize for creating a stupid page as a joke. I will not do anything like that again.

Decline reason:

Closing as unresponsive, you are welcome to make a new request when you can engage with us. 331dot (talk) 22:54, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Okay. What will you do instead? Please provide at least one specific example. 331dot (talk) 08:13, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I posted some stupid jokes a while ago. Now I would like to contribute seriously to Wikipedia Improudtoamerica (talk) 23:08, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please give an example of a contribution you want to make. 331dot (talk) 23:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see typos sometimes. For instance on 69 (number) "wherein each partner aligning themselves" should read "wherein each partner aligns themselves." Improudtoamerica (talk) 23:14, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think someone beat you to that one; but I'm going to see if Widr does not object to giving you another chance. 331dot (talk) 23:21, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I guess we could try, although I'm not too impressed by this appeal. Widr (talk) 12:41, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not particularly thrilled about this appeal myself, but I would be willing to remove the block with the understanding that you will be on a very short leash and may be blocked with little warning. Is that okay with you? 331dot (talk) 15:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. Improudtoamerica (talk) 16:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
