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

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 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.

Awards in ledes

I have reverted you several times but I suppose I should explain this in greater detail. The lede, more commonly called the lead, is governed by several principles and manuals of style. The general one is Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section and there is a sub-section, MOS:INTRO, that states,

The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article. The reason for a topic's noteworthiness should be established, or at least introduced, in the lead (but not by using subjective "peacock terms" such as "acclaimed" or "award-winning" or "hit").

and your adding "Grammy-award nominated" to two articles goes against that. The other manual of style that would apply is WP:OPENPARA, and that starts by saying, "MOS guidelines for lead paragraphs should generally be followed", and it links back to Manual of Style/Lead section. So that is why I keep reverting your addition of that phrase to the lede. Welcome, and keep making improvements to Wikipedia. Walter Görlitz (talk) 08:06, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Bagumba. Your recent edit to the page Jeremy Lin‎‎ appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now. The transaction is based on anonymous sources and/or awaiting an official announcement. If you believe the transaction has been completed, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. —Bagumba (talk) 09:56, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Hawk Nelson, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:57, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Citation on Hawk Nelson

I have added a citation. Cruzin64 (talk) 19:54, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
