Happy editing! --🐦DrWho42👻 13:19, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- I have not had the best experience so far if I am honest. I have had a number of problems so far in editing a page which is factually inaccurate. I hope my experience changes soon... ISMORTONUK (talk) 13:22, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
Your other accounts were blocked indefinitely because they violated the username policy. making multiple accounts is block evasion which violates Wikipedias policys. Matthew Tyler-Harrington (aka mth8412) (talk) 13:26, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- I was told to create a new username, which I did. Your rules are not very clear from my point of view. ISMORTONUK (talk) 13:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- i apologize as i misread the policy, my mistake. Matthew Tyler-Harrington (aka mth8412) (talk) 13:29, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

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.

Mandatory paid editing disclosure
edit
Hello ISMORTONUK. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:ISMORTONUK. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=ISMORTONUK|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ~Anachronist (talk) 00:44, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
