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
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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

Please 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 your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Rye

edit

I don't see the point in your attempts to differentiate Rye from Lolium temulentum. It's not poisonous as you claimed in your first attempt. One of its names is Darnel Ryegrass. So what? It actually looks like wheat, not rye. You seem to be doing this simply by the name, so why not also point out that rye should not be mistaken for Ryegrass? And no, I'm not suggesting that we should do that either. Meters (talk) 06:47, 3 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Gyrodyne vs compound helicopter

edit

I just wanted to drop you a note on your recent edits to Gyrodyne which were reverted by another editor. It is easy to confuse gyrodynes and compound helicopters. Basically, as the gyrodyne article explains, a gyrodyne only has powered rotors for take-off and landing and otherwise acts as an autogyro, while a compound helicopter's rotors always have power to them. Both types use auxiliary thrust for forward speed, however. Hope this helps clarify. - Ahunt (talk) 14:25, 12 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
