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

I'm Walter Görlitz, 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

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:47, 9 August 2018 (UTC) 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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Arab (etymology). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

No, it was my intention... hence the statement edit summary: "drive-by tagging". Is this how it's going to work then? You've decided to follow me around and revert whatever edits I make, without engaging in any discussion? Brinyepson (talk) 19:26, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Amanda Lindhout, 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 the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Amanda Lindhout, you may be blocked from editing. WP:SELFPUB does not restrict the use of self-published content, and this is the list of URLs you're removing. Which of them is self-published: http://edmonton.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20111024/EDM_lindhout_111024/20111024/?hub=EdmontonHome http://globalspeakers.com/speakers/amanda-lindhout/ http://huntinghills.rdpsd.ab.ca/docs/library/HHHS%20W%20of%20D%20Grad%202011%20Compatibility%20Mode.pdf http://huntinghills.rdpsd.ab.ca/docs/library/HHHS%20W%20of%20D%20Grad%202011%20Compatibility%20Mode.pdf http://lethbridgeherald.com/news/local-news/2014/05/10/u-of-l-honorary-degree-recipients-named/ http://lethbridgeherald.com/news/local-news/2014/05/10/u-of-l-honorary-degree-recipients-named/ http://metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/820513/manitoba-we-day-line-up-to-include-martin-sheen-martin-luther-king-iii-neverest/ http://nsb.com/speakers/amanda-lindhout/ http://o.canada.com/entertainment/music/jann-arden-everything-almost-video http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44026902/ns/today-good_news/t/once-kidnap-victim-somalia-she-returns-help/#.TtfLVkpGw-- http://www.100makingadifference.com/#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=31&p=0&a=0&at=0 http://www.albertalocalnews.com/reddeerexpress/news/Lindhouts_mission_aims_to_feed_300000_Somalis__132616798.html http://www.albertalocalnews.com/reddeerexpress/news/Lindhouts_mission_aims_to_feed_300000_Somalis__132616798.html http://www.assembly.ab.ca/ISYS/LADDAR_files/docs/hansards/han/legislature_27/session_3/20100223_1330_01_han.pdf http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Amanda+Lindhout+shares+horrifying+ordeal+violence+against+women/7967745/story.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/amanda-lindhout-talks-candidly-about-abuse-while-in-captivity-1.1412154 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2010/08/24/lindhout-somalia024.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/09/01/amanda-lindhout-trip-kenya.html http://www.cbc.ca/ottawamorning/2011/06/14/kathleens-interview-with-amanda-lindhout/ http://www.cbc.ca/thenational/indepthanalysis/story/2011/09/01/national-amandalindhout.html http://www.cgiu.org/meetings/2012/agenda.asp?day=2 http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/newsReleases/somaliaCrisis2011.php http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/newsReleases/somaliaCrisis2011.php http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/programs/somaliWomensScholarshipProgram.php http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/programs/somaliWomensScholarshipProgram.php http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chobani-pledges-1-million-to-famine-relief-efforts-in-somalia-130262543.html http://www.rdc.ab.ca/academic_departments/performing_arts/news/Pages/SchumacherJewellHonouredforBeingExcellentRoleModelsforWomenGirls.aspx http://www.rdc.ab.ca/academic_departments/performing_arts/news/Pages/SchumacherJewellHonouredforBeingExcellentRoleModelsforWomenGirls.aspx http://www.rmoutlook.com/article/20120412/RMO0801/304129990/0/RMO http://www.sprucegroveexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3121201 http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/amanda-lindhout-we-day-230002321.html https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/digital/innovation/regina-jewellery-maker-banks-on-reflected-shine-of-stars/article2278241/ https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/814127--amanda-lindhout-speaks-out-for-women-in-somalia?bn=1 https://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1015907--ex-skinhead-former-islamic-radical-open-summit-against-extremism Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:26, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
