Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to 3-1-1, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 06:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

I apologize. Bzik2324 (talk) 06:16, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:20th anniversary. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 15:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Sandbox

What is your intent behind copying the Android operating system article into your Sandbox and then experimenting with small edits? David notMD (talk) 11:29, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@David notMD is there a problem with that? Bzik2324 (talk) 13:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

In the past there have been instances in which new-to-Wikipedia copied entire articles to their Sandbox with the intent of dosing a 'major improvement' and then used their edited content to replace the existing article. This approach has always ended with the mass replacement being reverted, and in some instances, the editor being indefinitely blocked. Be aware that popular articles such as the Android operating system have scores of Watchers who are notified when they log in any edits to the article. A better approach is to copy a section, or even a portion of a section, modifying that, then copy/pasting into the existing article (with an Edit summary explaining why the change). Modest changes, even if cumulatively changing a lot, have a better chance of success. As an example of my own appoach, Starting in 2018 I made nearly 100 edits to Brown-tail moth in an effort to raise it to Good Article status (that included preparation for the GA nomination and responses to the reviewer's requests).

If your intent is only to work on your editing skills, edit away! David notMD (talk) 15:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

@David notMD so as long as I keep the edits with obviously wrong information only in my sandbox, I'm fine? Bzik2324 (talk) 22:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

"Wrong" within limits is fine. However, if, for example, you copy a chunk of copyright protected text or images from somewhere, with the intent of paraphrasing it before pasting it into an article, someone might happen upon that and delete it. Similarly, a work of fiction, website-like content, written attacks on other editors, a draft aboout a person or company in promotional tone, etc. See WP:SD for reasons for Speedy deletion. On Speedy deletion: Any editor can nominate content for Speedy deletion but only an Administrator can do it. Also, reverts (reversals) of content can be seen via View history, but Speedy deletions are accessable only by Admins. David notMD (talk) 03:43, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to List of Family Guy episodes—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Hello

Welcome to Wikipedia, Bzik2324!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. We hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Our five pillars Introduction to Wikipedia How to edit a page (editing policy) Help pages index (glossary) Article development Wikitext cheatsheet While editing Wikipedia: Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies. Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing. Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites. No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts. Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline. Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources. Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum. If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

If you have any questions, check out the Teahouse or ask me on my talk page. Please sign your messages on discussion pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome! ----Dustfreeworld (talk) 18:20, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
