Hello I need help edit

I like to know how to edit as a wikipedian perfectly Nwaamerica (talk) 05:43, 5 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

None of us are perfect. I recommend finding articles on topics you know about and seeing if you can improve those. Wikipedia STRONGLY advises people to not try to create articles about themselves, and not to submit original thinking. This is not social media and not a forum.

Just read the Welcome message at the top of this page, and be sure to do what it says. Your user page is meant to be brief and helpful to other editors. See:WP:USER--Quisqualis (talk) 04:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is pretty different from social media edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or write things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing here, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Just so you avoid any misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is and why we are here. Thank you. --Quisqualis (talk) 06:49, 6 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
