Wikiffeine
If you find typos you are unsure how to fix, please tell me! I can probably fix them, but I won't always be able to respond quickly. Oh, and if you want to just say high, that is fine. Just, please no swearing or insults, etc.. These things, in any form, will not be tolerated by me.
Wikiffeine, you are invited to the Teahouse!
editHi Wikiffeine! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

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.

Welcome to the GOCE!
edit Welcome to WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors "Make it say what it means and mean what it says" – Wikipedia: How to copy edit |
Hello Wikiffeine, and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia. Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey:
- A how-to guide to Wikipeda copyediting
- Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS), a helpful guide to refer to while copy editing
- A quick guide to writing on Wikipedia
You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.
Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

Hey, also wanted to let you know that there is a Typo Team project here on Wikipedia - if you haven't already, you any want to hit that link and learn more about it! Cheers -- puddleglum2.0
Thank you for the welcome! And thank you for the link to the Manual of Style; I was looking for it. I'll look over those articles that need copy editing. Happy copy editing! From Wikiffeine •‿• 14:31, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- No problem, thank you for joining! There's some more information near the top of our main page if you want more information. All the best -- puddleglum2.0 22:23, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Userboxes
editHi Wikiffeine! I noticed you were asking how to organize your userboxes. There's a convenient template for storing them all which you can find here. For an example of what it looks like, you can check out my user page and view the source of it to see how the template is organized. It's at the very top of my user page source. If you have any questions, feel free to respond! 0qd (talk) 00:28, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you, 0qd! I've been wanting to organize the userboxes. Wikiffeine •‿• 00:32, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- No worries. Perhaps I should mention that my user page source is a rather bad example for the template; I used it in an abnormal way. As long as you follow the template instructions on the page I linked, you should be fine. 0qd (talk) 00:37, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yup, I'm fine. The main problem is that, I couldn't find the templates in userpages before (how ever obvious it was), but the instructions worked. Thank you! Wikiffeine •‿• 00:49, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
Because you thanked me
editWikiffeine, you thanked me for one of my recent edits, so here is a heart-felt... YOU'RE WELCOME! It's a pleasure, and I hope you have a lot of fun while you edit this inspiring encyclopedia phenomenon! DoebLoggs (talk) |
