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.

Adding reference to Wikipedia articles
editHello CaptainBemused! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding well-formatted references is easy.
- While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite". Click on it.
- Then click on "templates".
- Choose the most appropriate template and then fill all relevant details.
This will add a well-formatted reference, which will allow other people to see where you got your information from. You can read more about this at Help:Edit toolbar, or watch this video: File:RefTools.ogv. Thanks and regards. —DBigXrayᗙ 20:37, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Julian Assange. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Calton | Talk 03:42, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
Answer: Nope. --Calton | Talk 03:45, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Republican Party (United States), you may be blocked from editing. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 03:49, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

"How can truth be vandalism?"
editIf you're confused, have a read of this and this. Wikipedia doesn't use "Because I said so" as a standard of proof. You may have confused Wikipedia with Twitter. --Calton | Talk 04:01, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Wikipelli. I noticed that in this edit to Reagan Democrat, you removed all the content from the page. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Recent edit to Jersey Girls
editHello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to start a discussion in the talk page if you feel that the political section (which is sourced) needs to be removed. Thank you! M.Bitton (talk) 23:16, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
