Please don't get discouraged

We get a lot of disruptive editing and sometimes our more experienced editors get a bit overzealous, to the point that they may scare off potentially productive users. Which I hope you to be one. My suggestion to you would be to focus on the mainspace where articles are edited and I hope to see your positive contributions there. Happy editing! El_C 18:51, 19 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello Alwaba Tom II. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:

    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

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

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

    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you

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.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
