Hello Yikes2004. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Suneye1, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

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!

Foxy Brown

Hi there. Your edit had to be reverted on Foxy Brown (rapper) because it was not

1. Sourced; and

2. The paragraph is talking about albums which debuted at number one. Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj did not debut at number one and rather only peaked at number one. This paragraph is talking about debuting which is a Billboard achievement. Hope this makes sense. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you are still unsure.

That makes perfect sense and not to sound weird or anything but could you adopt me

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Meghan Trainor, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Elizium23 (talk) 03:41, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh ok

Yikes2004 (talk) 04:39, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:42, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Doja Cat discography, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Ss112 05:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Doja Cat, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please provide a reliable source that says that Doja Cat is West Coast hip hop; if you cannot do so, then it cannot be included in the article. Furthermore, links to List of Billboard Hot 100 number ones of 2020 should only be used on individual song articles, not the articles of artists. Thank you. SkyWarrior 05:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lauryn Hill discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rhythmic. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:18, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Associated acts criteria

Hello! You recently reverted my edit on Doja Cat's page concerning Saweetie as an associated act. As you probably know, in January 2021, Saweetie released "Best Friend (ft. Doja Cat)". You are correct about Saweetie not fitting the criteria as an associated act, but what about Smino? To my knowledge, Smino has only collaborated with Doja once, on Won't Bite. How come Smino fits the criteria but Saweetie doesn't? Kind regards, DX!talk 14:45, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Please leave descriptive edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.

CS1 error on LGBT rights in South Africa

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page LGBT rights in South Africa, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 12:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

May 2024

Your edit to LGBT rights in South Africa has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.

November 2024

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Decolonization, you may be blocked from editing. Remsense ‥ 论 12:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I do not want to be combative or drive motivated editors concerning areas we need a lot more help in away—all I am asking is that you please read WP:ENGVAR and abide by it like everyone else does. SA articles should be in SA English, but imposing your personal orthographic preferences outside the clear boundary of strong national ties is unacceptable and ultimately disruptive enough to earn a block. I would really like to avoid that. Remsense ‥ 论 12:10, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Greenman. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Zulu people, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Greenman (talk) 12:01, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
