Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

December 2023 edit

  Hello, I'm That Tired Tarantula. I noticed that you recently removed content from HD 100546 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.

I’m really sorry but the page needs fixing as someone has broken it. J3 Mângo (talk) 00:12, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to HD 100546, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you would like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

I’m trying to fix it as someone has broken the page but I can’t put the info in the right place. J3 Mângo (talk) 00:09, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sorry about this, it's obvious that this has just been a good faith mistake. I hope you don't feel too attacked by this event. All the best, Schminnte [talk to me] 19:53, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Don’t worry about it, I’m alright. J3 Mângo (talk) 21:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to HD 100546, you may be blocked from editing. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 00:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at HD 100546. That Tired Tarantula (talk) 00:12, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Look sorry! But someone broke the page and I’m trying to fix the mess but I have made it worse. I will stop editing the page so someone else can fix it. J3 Mângo (talk) 00:19, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, it took a long time for me to notice these messages; as of now, the issue with the page appears to have been fixed; thank you for trying to fix the problem when it was still there. However, I decided to revert those edits because they removed content from the article instead of moving it to a better place and because it was difficult for me to tell that it wasn't a normal unexplained content removal because you didn't elaborate much in edit summaries. In the future, please make sure to cut and paste the content so that it's outside of the table that it's in instead of completely removing it, and please try to explain content removals more in edit summaries so that other editors don't get confused and revert the removal. Thank you for editing. That Tired Tarantula (talk) 18:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

 Welcome J3 Mângo!
Hello J3 Mângo. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Ad Orientem, 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 {{Help me}} 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
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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!

Blank pages edit

Please do not create blank pages. If you want to work on creating an article, then you should create them in draftspace first. Simply add the "Draft:" prefix on the title of any page you want to create, like this: Draft:Example. Thank you. CycloneYoris talk! 21:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just to add to this, if you go to WP:AFC, and simply follow the prompts creating drafts is easy and when ready you can simply hit the submit button to have them reviewed. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:283A:5CE6:DBC1:CA23 (talk) 22:14, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
