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 Bradley Laise
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Bradley Laise, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Unsourced edits on David T. Abercrombie
[edit]Hi,
I saw you recently changed the year of death of David T. Abercrombie from 1931 to 1937. However, the 1931 date already had a source in a New York Times obituary. I found another one here (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/18071757/david-thomas-abercrombie), where you can see his gravestone and death certificate, both showing a date of 1931. Why did you change the year to 1937?
Please take more care in the future and only add things that have reliable sources to Wikipedia! Signed: Knuthove (talk) 00:21, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- In one of my friends YouTube video it said 1937 not 1931. That was what I got. But it turns out je accidentally said the wrong year. RatPack1970 (talk) 04:15, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Youtube videos are not generally good sources, unless the person in the video is an expert on the topic. A lot of people trust Wikipedia, and a lot of other websites simply copy whatever is on Wikipedia as fact. Adding poorly sourced material that turns out to be false hurts that trust and spreads misinformation. At the very least you should check the existing sources in an article to see if they contradict what you are writing. Here is a short beginners guide to referencing on Wikipedia. I hope you will continue to help improve Wikipedia with well sourced information going forward. Knuthove (talk) 13:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

DMY to MDY
[edit]Why are you changing these? Acroterion (talk) 00:42, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Again, why are you changing the date format? Acroterion (talk) 02:29, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
Us Americans use Month Date, Year sir. Unless you live outside the USA then I understand. If you don't then I dint get why you do this... RatPack1970 (talk) 02:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
Excuse me for sounding rude. But I've had a rough day. Also I mea t to type "don't" RatPack1970 (talk) 02:36, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia, and what “us Americans” do is not universal. Most Europeans use DMY. Don’t change topics pertaining to a European topic without good reason. And don’t lecture other editors about “us Americans.” And I’m one of “us Americans. I’m sorry you’ve had a bad day. Don’t use it as an excuse to edit-war over inappropriate changes.

[edit]
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
