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

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.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:28, 18 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

On the Removal of USA from the Birthplace box of all Puerto Ricans by Mercy11

edit

We have had problems with biased nationalist edits by Mercy11 in Oscar Lopez Rivera regarding Puerto Rican nationality. I recommend that this issue be take to Dispute Resolution or Mediation. It has become a problem that affects all his edits regarding Puerto Rico.Rococo1700 (talk) 02:34, 24 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

WikiSoldier: I have rolled back your most recent batch of edits. You keep making the same edits, and they have been reverted by at least four different editors; you appear to be a single-issue edit warrior. Let this also serve as a warning against edit warring: see Wikipedia:Edit warring. If you continue to make these edits without having achieved consensus for them, you will most likely be blocked, possibly indefinitely. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 04:46, 24 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Drmies My edits have the consensus, User Rococo1700 have been putting back the same edits. User jbabylon91 as well. Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commowealth since 1952 and a U.S. Territory since 1898. Puerto Rico is not a country (Federal Republic), it does not has a President nor it is a country member of the United Nations. There is a user called Mercy11 who keeps taking out the "U.S." Suffix from the Governors birthplace. It is indispensable that the people get the correct information and know why they are Governors and not "Presidents". The U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico only has a Governor and a Statewide Government. Since 1917 Every person born in Puerto Rico is a Natural U.S. Citizen, which is why it is indispensable that the "U.S." Suffix appear at the birthplace of the Governors of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Drmies I have the consensus plus i have the facts, just google the Puerto Rico political system and you will find out that i'm right. Don't interfere with truth and correct information. Let this be for you an Wikipedia:Edit warring. If you keep taking out the "U.S." Suffix from the governors birthplace then you can be blocked indefinitely.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for edit warring, sockpuppetry, general attitude problem. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Floquenbeam (talk) 13:59, 24 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • That turned out quite differently than the Wikisoldier expected. Thanks Floquenbeam. Drmies (talk) 16:09, 24 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
