Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hi @Grayfell

Thank you! I am new to wikipedia and still learning the basics. Thanks for the above resources, I will definitely use them in the future. If I have any questions I will make sure to reach out to you :) thanks! Wetlikewater (talk) 00:12, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Glad I can help. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of sources, but it does help explain Wikipedia's approach to common sources. For example, WP:INVESTOPEDIA and WP:FORBESCON are not generally reliable and should be avoided. Thanks, and again, welcome. Grayfell (talk) 00:33, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok! Great thank you for these resources. I will use it when editing next time :) Wetlikewater (talk) 03:13, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Social media did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.
