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.
Disambiguation link notification for September 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ashley Tisdale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC News. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:53, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

I noticed that a message you recently left to a newcomer may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It may take some time, but it helps us retain new editors. Thank you.

Civility
Just a note to say edit summaries like this one are not acceptable behaviour. Even if you strongly disagree with what another editor has done, you should assume they did it in good faith (unless it's obviously just vandalism) and remain civil in addressing them. Thanks.

Harsh language in edit summaries
Thanks for your vandalism reversion on Sheriff Callie's Wild West. Please remember the subject is a children's show, and using f-bombs in edit summaries is not the best look for those sorts of articles (or any articles for that matter). I'm not telling you what to do, but please develop some sense of proportion before using unduly descriptive language like that you used today and apparently on October 2.

Hello, I'm Magical Golden Whip. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wizards Beyond Waverly Place that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. There is no need to do this in edit summaries. Magical Golden Whip (talk) 15:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
