There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

    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.

Dealing with vandalism edit

  Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Kobe. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for November 20 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited LPS: Popular, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PG. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:24, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of LPS: Popular for deletion edit

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article LPS: Popular is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LPS: Popular until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Some tips for you edit

Hi, I appreciate you trying to edit Wikipedia, but there are some things you seem to be having trouble with. Please don't put blank help templates on your talk page. Let us know what it is you need help with. Also, it's not a good idea to display your age, personal pictures, or other information online. And instead of blog posts, you may want to rename your subpage as uploads, if you plan on uploading more pictures. People who put too much stuff on their userpages not related to Wikipedia sometimes get their userpage deleted as miscellany. I'm not trying to be mean here, I'm just trying to explain some stuff.

Hi MochaMilk. White Arabian Filly gave you some good advice. I invite you to give the page Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors a read. It has a lot of good advice for contributors in your position. We welcome constructive contributions, but it is important that you still meet the expectations that the Wikipedia community has for its editors. A Wikipedia functionary has suppressed information from your userspace that seemed too personal to be displayed publicly. I know it can be annoying when other editors mess with your user pages, but I promise this is for the best. Please don't add it back. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 22:43, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Wolffsohn's viscacha in rocky area.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Wolffsohn's viscacha in rocky area.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:35, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your attention needed at WP:CHU edit

Hello. A renamer or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 02:42, 13 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:Ran Yakumo blinking GIF.gif edit

 

The file File:Ran Yakumo blinking GIF.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned file with no clear usability on project

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
