Welcome Kgywu!

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

I'm Mathglot, 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 {{helpme}} 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

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!

Martha Hart edit

Hi, a good place to ask questions that are specifically about improving the Martha Hart article, would be at its associated Talk page: Talk:Martha Hart. However, general questions about how to edit, including stylistic issues that are not specifically tied to the subject of the article, such as the use of professional titles, would be better placed at the Tea House. Make a good faith effort first yourself; the Manual of Style would be a good place to start, and Advanced Search is another option. Another option, is to ask a general question here, on your talk page, by adding a new section, and including the term {{Help me}} somewhere in your message. On this occasion, since you're new, I've done the work for you: see MOS:JOBTITLES.

Remember to sign all your posts on Talk pages, Tea House, User talk pages, with WP:FOURTILDES (~~~~) at the very end of your post. For Talk page etiquestte, how to respond to previous comments using proper indenting, and creating new sections, please see WP:THREAD. There's quite a learning curve here, but we all went through it, and it's okay to make mistakes. I hope you enjoy it here, and decide to stay. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Thank you so much for the input and help. It was very friendly and very nice. I really appreciate it and now I will take the time to look into it. Thank you for all the recommended sources! I will search harder next time! Kgywu (talk) 22:48, 19 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
You're more than welcome. (Oh, also: MOS:DOCTOR.) One other tip: when replying to someone on any Talk page but their own, if they're not watching the page, they won't know you replied and may never see what you wrote. To attract their attention, either use the {{reply}} template (also: {{re}}) or {{ping}}. Good luck, and don't hesitate to contact me (or any editor) with questions.

File permission problem with File:Picture of Martha Hart.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Picture of Martha Hart.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Your thread has been archived edit

 

Hi Kgywu!
