Hello, S21710491. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Walter Görlitz, 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

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Date and language retention

Before changing date formats, please see MOS:ENGVAR that discusses the concept. In short, Portuguese-language subjects have no more affinity for international English than for American English and so unless a change is for reasons of consistency, spelling should not be changed, and all such changes should be clearly explained.

Also, MOS:DATETIES discusses the subjects that have a strong association with a specific date format while MOS:DATERET states that if there isn't a strong association, that the format originally used should remain in the article. Changes such as the ones you made to modify a date format are not appropriate. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:36, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Also your changes of "color" to "colour" in the Wiki Markup Language wrecked a diagram in People's Representative Council - please stp making these changes. Regards Davidelit (Talk) 09:51, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Also, I have reverted your changes to Canadian/US football pages for the reasons above. Red Jay (talk) 12:35, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Xiaomi Mi A1, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please stop changing dates and spellings from the current setting without a good reason. Red Jay (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ingus Bankevics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 09:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at End of World War II in Asia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Do not change date formats without a valid reason. Red Jay (talk) 10:24, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Red Jay (talk) 06:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

You've managed to rack-up a lot of warnings so I won't add one more, but I will remind you to stop changing date formats. The reasons were supplied above. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:11, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Melbourne Victory FC. It's soccer in Australia Red Jay (talk) 17:09, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Please explain why you are ignoring these warnings. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 19:31, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Jayron32 16:42, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

I have instituted a second block, this one for one month, because you continue to refuse to engage with anyone who objects to the changes you are making. If you wish to be unblocked, please respond and explain yourself. --Jayron32 16:42, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Blocked indefinitely

Since you chose to resume the kind of behavior that got you blocked twice before, I have now blocked you indefinitely. Your refusal to explain or discuss the matter in spite of several warnings is an aggravating circumstance. If you wish to appeal the block, please follow the instructions in the previous block messages. Favonian (talk) 12:03, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Wales-Scotland football rivalry moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Wales-Scotland football rivalry, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.
