Hello Kaethe17. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Scope creep, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

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
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

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 userpage.

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.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Hi @Kaethe17:, I saw your message in the discussion page of Joachim Blüher. Are you being paid to edit on her?

yes, I am--Kaethe17 (talk) 11:48, 3 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Coolio. I'll need to put a connected contributor tag on the article and you'll need to follow the policy on WP:PAID and WP:DISCLOSURE. You means need to put a tag on your user page and avoid issues being blocked everywhere. It explains in those policy pages somewhere. Good article. Thanks. scope_creepTalk 11:51, 3 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for putting the tag on the article. On WP:PAID it says that this is sufficient. Hope I understood that right.--Kaethe17 (talk) 13:56, 3 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
On wp:disclosure I think it says you need to disclose on your user page. Use this:
{{paid|user=|employer=|client=|list=|articles=}}
The client and the list are not needed.
