Welcome!
editHello, LarissaKT, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:
- Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
- Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
- Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
- Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
- Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
- Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
- Add headings with ==double equal signs==
- If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a table of contents.
- Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can delete {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
- ===subheadings are similar===
- When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
- If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
- ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes''' Bold.
Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects by topic, alternatively the talkpages of articles you are interested in may have links to relevant Wikiprojects.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this adds your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! ϢereSpielChequers 14:46, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

editThe page User:LarissaKT/sandbox has been deleted, in accordance with Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, for copyright reasons. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.

- @JamesBWatson: Hi, thank you for the information. I misunderstood the way sandbox works, have now been informed. LarissaKT (talk) 17:04, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
- @JamesBWatson: Sorry, I'm still travelling and have limited access to internet. I saw that you sent two messages but can't see them on my talk page any more. Is everything alright? I updated my page to reflect the new travel. LarissaKT (talk) 22:24, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
- I posted a couple of messages here which were based on misreading the times of edits. I thought some edits of yours were recent, but when I saw that the edits dated back to last March, and before my original message to you above, I realised my new messages were irrelevant and might even be misleading, so I removed them. Sorry for the confusion that must have caused you. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:34, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
