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
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

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.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Stalking warning edit

You are engaging in "stalker" behavior in editing. Report underway.

Advisory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Stalking

--67.48.200.162 (talk) 21:37, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'm certainly not. As you are editing with an anonymous IP address, I took the time to look at some of the past edits you that originated from that IP address. I noticed a single edit to Timeline of the 2019–20 Wuhan coronavirus outbreak that seemed like it was a lot of unnecessary information, so I trimmed it. Additionally, Colin dm (talk) agreed, by reverting your revert of my edit, that it was too much information, so I am comfortable in the knowledge that I did the right thing there. Andrew Englehart (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I'll just leave this here to remind this anonymous editor not to make false accusations again. Andrew Englehart (talk) 23:22, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Rickover edit

Be mindful of edit warring. While you haven't crossed 3RR, you're well in to the territory. Toddst1 (talk) 02:01, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Toddst1 (talk), and I appreciate the advice. After I looked up how to report edit warring behavior by the IP address, and read more deeply on the subject, I realized I should not have let it get as far as I did before I disengaged. I'll keep that in mind in the future. Andrew Englehart (talk) 16:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Mentioned on ANI edit

I've mentioned you in passing on Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#IP_hopper_and_ad-hominem_attacks_/_ignoring_consensus as having had similar problems with a problematic IP. Nothing for you to worry about but I'm obligated to notify you. Toddst1 (talk) 19:15, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for October 11 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tom Morris Jr., you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spin-off and A&E. 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.)

Durga edit

Why you removing the fully sourced information having already strong references from the Durga article? The content was fully added by me in support with references. There's no link of any socks in this. 103.199.226.218 (talk) 17:54, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sure there isn't. You just happen to be adding the same information as a blocked user was adding before they were blocked. Total coincidence! Andrew Englehart (talk) 22:11, 26 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Discussion invitation edit

On Patrol: Live edit

Any further discussion can be brought up on the talk page if you still disagree, but you are the one who needs to start the discussion since you are disputing the status quo. I thought I'd just explain this part for you. WP:PLOTREF states "The plot summary for a work, on a page about that work, does not need to be sourced with in-line citations, as it is generally assumed that the work itself is the primary source for the plot summary.". Further, MOS:TVPLOT states "In addition to "Plot", other appropriate headings for this section may be "Premise", "Synopsis", or "Overview"". In this case "plot" = "overview" and the summary does not need to be sourced since the work itself is the source. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:49, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

"On Patrol Live" does not have a plot. You can title the section whatever you want, but unsourced sentences about the show are your own interpretation, or someone else's, about the show's "premise", "synopsis", or whatever you want to call it, and they're not WP:DUE if there's no source. Andrew Englehart (talk) 20:06, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
As I said, per the things I quoted above. A source isn't necessary since the work itself is the primary source. However, I went ahead and added a primary source... which is the work itself.... notice the irony here? Hopefully it's enough to satisfy you? TheDoctorWho (talk) 20:30, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
That's not a reliable secondary source, obviously. A source is only not required for plot. On Patrol Live doesn't have a plot. You've added original research and claimed that the show itself is your source for the original research. Andrew Englehart (talk) 22:56, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Core Wikipedia policies accept WP:PRIMARYSOURCE as citations. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:46, 10 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
