 Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Valereee (talk) 14:34, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hey, jjjj, and welcome. I'm sorry you felt your old account had attracted toxicity. It can be hard to learn our policies when you're new here, so I've left you some resources above, including a link to WP:Teahouse, which is a great place to ask questions about learning to edit.

Realize that the editors who were complaining on your now-abandoned account weren't trying to be toxic. They were just trying to help you learn. Best to you! Valereee (talk) 14:36, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I can only use one account? Why can’t I use an alt account. I did abandon that account though but why would it be a problem in the case I didn’t? Jjjjfghh2 (talk) 17:38, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
The problem mostly comes in when you use two different accounts to edit the same article or contribute to the same discussion. Plus if you use two accounts without a good reason, people will wonder why. You can find more info at WP:fresh start and WP:SOCKLEGIT. Valereee (talk) 17:41, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thank you and by the way many editors on Wikipedia are straight up rude. I wouldn’t say those on my talk page had much to do with it more so those I conversed with on other talk pages trying to receive help or request a citation. That’s a firm issue with this website. I am not complaining though not all Wikipedia editors are like that. I appreciate you helping me.Thank you for that. Jjjjfghh2 (talk) 17:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Could you give me an example? I checked a couple of talk pages and didn't find anything like that. Valereee (talk) 18:02, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I accidentally posted it as a topic but it might be insecurity and low self confidence in that case. I’m still gonna continue use the website and not let my feelings get in the way. A work in progress. I have permanently left my other account though. I also am very kind to editors so sometimes it can feel odd when they reply in a more blunt way.

= I may just be insecure and have low self confidence in that case. edit

That might be an issue though but I try to make sure my feelings don’t get in the way of anything on this website. I may have just left due to insecurity and low self confidence but either way that’s a work in progress. I’m gonna try not let my feelings get in the way. talk:Jjjjfghh2#top|talk]]) 19:38, 1 October 2023 (UTC) Jjjjfghh2 (talk) 19:40, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
