There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

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.
Introduction to contentious topics
edit
You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
| | This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. |

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Gonzalo Lira. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

CS1 error on Dhruv Sharma (singer)
edit
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Dhruv Sharma (singer), 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) 07:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I removed the close paraphrasing from the article. WP:PARAPHRASE policy which is part of the Wikipedia:Copyright violations policy which constitutes plaigarism is strictly forbidden. Wikipedia Terms of Use explicity forbid copyright violation at any time. Close paraphrasing is part of. When your writing, sources need to be summarised in your own internal voice, not just copied and slightly changed, but still essentially the same. If you think your doing it, run Earwig at Wikipedia:EARWIG on the article, fill in the appropriate fields and run. It will display a metric, i.e. a probability that the article copyvio'd or close paraphrased like this. Takes a wee bit of time to get used to it. Try and watch out for it, will you. It a blockable offence, if you repeat it. Folk are deadly serious about copyvio. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 18:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- that's actually quite polite as COPYVIO notices go. I am not sure why you asked me in particular for help (or did you ask everyone with a current post at NPOVN maybe?) Anyway I am not the droid you are seeking. It is however imperative that you address what Scope Creep said. Then and only then, you should fix the inconsistent capitalization so people will take you more seriously, and address the issue of notability. A fast glance at the sources makes me think you may have a shot at that. I suggest WP:The Teahouse. Or Scope Creep even if he is willing. One last thought: if indeed the singer is notable you should be able to flesh the article out better than that. And hint, Rapunzel is a name of a person, and titles in English are not normally all lower case. You have a way to go before you need to worry about neutrality.

- scope_creep & Elinruby I really thank you very much for helping me neutralize the article according to Wikipedia's basic standards, over time the article will be expanded more since it is about a young Indian singer 57ntaledane9 (talk) 20:02, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- I will leave it to Scope Creep to decide if he thinks that's enough. Promising young singers are thick on the ground and we go by are they notable "now* not in the future. Do you have a connection to this person, btw?

- I do urge you to go to the Teahouse, as it is geared to new editors with articles about promising young singers. Other editors you encounter on the wild like this might go straight to disciplinary actions. And I repeat: you do not have enough substance to have a neutrality issue. Your issues are first and foremost the copyright violation(s). Then the lack of substance, then the poor formatting of what substance there is. Please don't ping me again unless you want to talk about forced labor camps in World War 2. Thanks and good luck.Elinruby (talk) 20:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Dhruv Sharma (singer), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Dhruv Sharma (singer). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:27, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
