Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

October 2024

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

@SNUGGUMS All right, I'll make sure to put an editorial summary next time. Melonsida (talk) 12:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jürgen Marcus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pop. 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) 07:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Spideog (talk) 19:15, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

Your edits require citations

Wikipedia requires that edits are supported by citations to provide verification. I notice in this edit you added information without including a citation to verify its credibility. Please read Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sources. Also, the article describing how to include them is also helpful.

I notice in this edit you removed information that was verified by citation. This cannot be done with no explanation, and you also removed the citations supporting the text you deleted. This should never be done without providing a compelling reason and with discussion of why your change is better – with verification from reliable sources.

Please read the three Help articles (linked above) which will introduce you to essential requirements for editing to avoid having your work undone, as I have done to one of your edits, because you changed a fact in an article which was not supported by its original accompanying reference. Thank you. Spideog (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

November 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at R. O. Kwon. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Melonsida,

Do not remove categories from an article that are accurate simply because you disapprove. Wikipedia is not censored, especially when content is reliably sourced. This borders on vandalism so please focus on constructive editing.

If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia or categories, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:34, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
