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.

NZ Pandemic - Last Edit edit
Hi Kauri0.o
First I think you are a Kiwi. You might want to add the template
 | This user is a Kiwi |
on your home page. Edit this post to pick up the template syntax or have a look at my home page User:OrewaTel.
Second, I am concerned about your post on COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand in which you factually traduced a bunch of gob-shites. What you wrote was absolutely factual and the citation says as much in different words. However, the language smacks of not being 'Neutral Point of View' and I seriously considered reverting it. Actually it is Wikipedia:NPOV and although the language is strident, it is mild compared to what is deserved. Nevertheless is is possible (likely?) that someone may wish to revert it. You may wish to reword it by toning down the language so that it appears more Neutral. (But under no circumstances should we give this scurrilous mob any credence whatsoever.) If someone does revert it, I suggest adding a section on the Talk Page requesting reinstatement. (If you don't I shall)
Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay edit
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
