There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
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.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to User:Dissident93, 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 your 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. Don't change other people's user pages or break their userboxes -- ferret (talk) 03:06, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Grammarly
editYour edits suggest you are using a tool such as Grammarly to edit and change grammar and syntax. Please stop immediately. Grammarly is not compatible with Wikipedia's Wikitext and makes inappropriate changes to code, templates, category and file links. Continuing to edit with Grammarly or whatever similar tool you're using will eventually lead to a block as the edits are disruptive. -- ferret (talk) 03:14, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Understood. Zdubzxx (talk) 22:56, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- I see you continue to use Grammarly and introduce errors into articles. This is your final warning to stop. -- ferret (talk) 18:07, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- [This] edit was obviously made using Grammarly or similar software and is egregiously incorrect. Please stop doing this or I will report you for disruptive editing. Wallnot (talk) 23:56, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
My Bad, it was a simple mistake that is easily reverted. While editing, I have been trying to watch out for my false corrections. Zdubzxx (talk) 00:00, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- the way to avoid “false corrections” is by not using Grammarly at all. Please stop doing so. Wallnot (talk) 00:31, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
I keep it on for personal use. Zdubzxx (talk) 01:15, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- Then don’t use it to correct Wikipedia. Wallnot (talk) 01:41, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

edit Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you recently removed content from Kirkwood High School without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

edit Hello. Your recent edit to Butler High School (Vandalia, Ohio) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Meters (talk) 19:35, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
I think he is notable because he is participating in a National event. And yes, an article should be created about him.

Disambiguation link notification for August 13
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mississinawa Valley High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ansonia High School. 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.)

Megan Booher moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Megan Booher, is not suitable 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 click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
