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.
Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jamiesonandy

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. A tag has been placed on User:Jamiesonandy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals.

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.

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Orange Mike | - @Orangemike: he was asked very plainly to stop it yesterday, and as far as I can see he did, and then like ten hours later you blocked him. Seems rather punitive. This person is clearly just a bit lost and confused, are you sure an indef block many hours after their last edit is the correct response?

- Hi Jamiesonandy - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator here. A few other administrators are discussing whether this block is really necessary or helpful. Just so we're clear - Wikipedia isn't a forum for asking questions about banking. There are places on the internet where you can ask questions like that - Quora jumps to mind, I'm sure there are others - but Wikipedia's Helpdesk and TeaRoom are there to help new editors with advice about editing Wikipedia. You might also want to speak to a solicitor about the banking issues. If you were to post something here indicating that you understand that, and that you'll stop asking for help with the bank account issue, I'm sure that the community would be happy to unblock this account with no further questions asked. Best wishes Girth Summit (blether) 13:10, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Jamiesonandy, adding to what Girth Summit wrote above, I see that the initial answers to your query at the Teahouse included a link to Wikipedia:Reference desk/Humanities. The "reference desk" noticeboards are the only place on Wikipedia for general questions, as opposed to questions about editing Wikipedia, but even they are not highly likely to provide the kind of authoritative expertise you need. Before consulting a solicitor, I would suggest trying Citizens Advice (the organisation, not the Wikipedia article!) But where you've run into trouble is that you've been asking the volunteers who create and maintain an encyclopaedia. I'm afraid to say we're simply not the people to ask. (Also, when you wrote of contributing for many years to Wikipedia, I suspect you meant donating to the Wikimedia Foundation, which is just the organisation that owns the servers and is responsible for the software the volunteers use. People reading this have assumed you were claiming to have made edits—which we refer to behind the scenes as "contributions"—for many years. I hope this further clarification is helpful.

Unblocked
[edit]Most of what I was going to say has been said by others, above. Asking for help at WP:Help desk is like asking your grocer; it is simply not what the Help Desk is for. I'm removing all the other text I was planning to include here because Girth Summit and Yngvadottir's answers can't really be improved on. I will note that offering to share the money with anyone who will help you strikes an odd tone with me, but I'll choose to assume everything is legitimate here. Please follow their advice, and if you have any questions, ask here on this page. Floquenbeam (talk) 21:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
