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 userpage.
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.

Reversion of some of your edits
[edit]I am afraid that I have had to revert four revisions you made to articles: Special:Diff/1081128479 and Special:Diff/1081128697 to Scythian languages, Special:Diff/1081284226 to Hephthalites, and Special:Diff/1082088203 to Ahmad Shah Durrani. In each case, it looks as if the edit was either entirely unintentional or, where it was intentional, did something different from what you intended - I think you probably realised this with the first of the two edits to Scythian languages, but it also looks as if you didn't realise what had actually gone wrong with that edit (you inserted two words right in the middle of a third word), so the second one didn't properly correct it.
It looks to me as if you are carrying out a large number of mostly small edits at speed - you may need to be reviewing them a little more carefully than you have been doing, to make sure that what you have actually done is what you intended to do. Because when they don't, they can leave problems worse than the ones you have corrected. And I am fairly certain that I have not found anything like all of your bad edits, as I've only looked at your edits on about a dozen articles, a small proportion of your total edits.
Having said that, the majority of your edits look fine - some are correcting things that I wouldn't bother with (particularly considering that we have editors here writing in at least half a dozen different but equally valid varieties of English from around the world - and that's just including those with English as their first language), and very occasionally, I suspect that you have misunderstood what the previous text of an article was trying to say and (probably unintentionally) changed the meaning of what you were correcting. But usually, you have certainly been improving the previous text.
Best wishes for your future here.

Steph Curry 500 Playoff Threes
[edit]Hello, I just did a quick check and saw that your edit on Steph Curry getting 500 playoff threes in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Grizzlies was wrong (https://edition.cnn.com/2022/05/10/sport/steph-curry-warriors-grizzlies-celtics-bucks-spt-intl/index.html). I did a quick check and found that it was actually in Game 4 as seen in the links here: https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-solidifies-3-point-god-status-with-epic-playoff-first/ https://www.nba.com/news/stephen-curry-becomes-1st-player-in-nba-history-with-500-made-postseason-3s
I have fixed the edit already, just a heads up that you can use sports-focused sites just to ensure accuracy as much as possible. Nintendoswitchfan (talk) 06:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, thank you for this. Maybe i did a typo error. I'll follow your advise regarding my sources on my next edits. Thanks again. WonderCanada (talk) 16:35, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Nejat Society moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Nejat Society. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources, it needs more sources to establish notability, it has too many problems of language or grammar and Currently, the article makes no sense. Is it about an NGO? There is nothing about an NGO apart from the first sentence. The only other section doesn't mention the NGO in its two sentences. Incubate in draftspace, expand fully, and actually talk about the subject.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 21:38, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Addressed, thanks. If there is anything further you'd like me to look at please let me know before moving it to draft space again. WonderCanada (talk) 19:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
