Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Tvshowoflife, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Oceania Australia

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Oceania Australia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Overlinking

edit

Hi, thanks for your contributions; I see that you're quite new to WP. Please don't link common terms or chronological items. As here. Tony (talk) 05:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I tried to be more judicious with my links this time. Would you say any of it was overlinking. Thank you and have a good day. Tvshowoflife (talk) 06:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Removed PROD

edit

Hi Tvshowoflife. I removed your prod at Mugglecast because your reason for deleting it was that we had an article about MuggleCast now so it didn't need to redirect to a different article. I've changed how the page redirects so that's no longer an issue. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 20:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. Have a good day. Tvshowoflife (talk) 21:31, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ref names

edit

I know you think you're being funny with the Matilda lyrics and the copypasta ref names, but that kind of thing is not only disruptive, it's a copyright violation. You're presumably writing content for a collaborative encyclopedia, so please stick to more standard ref names in the future. Many thanks. DanCherek (talk) 04:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I’m really sorry. I was not aware it was against the rules. I will change all the ref names tomorrow. Thank you for your great service as a disease researcher, you are doing a great service to humanity. Have a good day. Tvshowoflife (talk) 05:37, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

No worries, thanks for your understanding   DanCherek (talk) 13:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am sorry but I tried to do that and uploaded a full photo of it and got the copyright holder to email Wikimedia Commons but later the image got deleted even though the email was sent. Have a good day. Tvshowoflife (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
