Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and/or guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talkpage of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.
Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! | |||

This is being posted on your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four ~~~~ or by pressing or in the editing interface tool box, located just above the editing window (when editing). Do not sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted, but only when using the article talkpage, yours or another editor's talkpage. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information.

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:List of people who have walked across the United States. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

All I did was update the contributors' name. The name was an old one. How do you update those names? Thanks Mdus5678 (talk) 22:46, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- Please explain this edit. Sundayclose (talk) 22:51, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Did I delete a lot more than that one name? I assure you I didn't mean to delete all that. But it looks like on my page it does show a large deletion and that was a mistake. I apologize and will be more careful. Mdus5678 (talk) 22:58, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
- In that case, take a couple of minutes to read this:
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 23:00, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Thanks I read it. I usually preview edits but this one was such a small one word that I thought it was fine. Mdus5678 (talk) 23:05, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
