Welcome to Wikipedia!

While you just started, and may be a little overwhelmed, I want to let you know that like any first step, it can lead to all sorts of wonderful and magical places! FULBERT (talk) 16:20, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Sir! I will let you know if I need any help!PurpleMercury (talk) 05:58, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

"I copied everything to my sandbox"

Original text
I copied everything to my sandbox. Should I delete the original one? @FULBERT: PurpleMercury (talk) 01:36, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I suppose you mean this page? You don't have to do anything to that page actually, although you can request for it to be deleted by an admin. Also I saw your message from Wikipedia:Template:Reply to when looking at recent changes, just letting you know that page is misplaced because it's not your talk page. You can also request that page be deleted too, so no worries. -★- PlyrStar93. _{→Message me. ←} 01:47, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi again, if you encounter any question or difficulty, please don't hesitate to ask. It looks like you did a page move by accident, but don't worry about it, I restored it to where is should be. -★- PlyrStar93. _{→Message me. ←} 02:35, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for helping! Really appreaciate! About the move, that was not an accident. I did it on purpose. But thanks anyway!!!!!PurpleMercury (talk) 04:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC) @PlyrStar93:

Welcome PurpleMercury!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 47,539,901 registered editors!

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

I'm FULBERT, 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

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Sincerely, FULBERT (talk) 13:21, 25 September 2017 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

Welcome!

Hello, PurpleMercury, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.
