Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

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

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!

Alphabetical order edit

Hi Clarissagum
You have been adding Jude Rabo to multiple articles, almost all of which include <!---♦♦♦ Please keep the list in alphabetical order by LAST NAME ♦♦♦---> in the alumni/notable people section, but you have ignored this and put her in some random position, not under R.
Please follow such requests in future, as failing to do so creates unnecessary work for others in tidying up after you - Thank-you - Arjayay (talk) 13:53, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Arjayay Thanks Arjayay, I didn't know. Clarissagum (talk) 14:04, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve 2019 Katsina State gubernatorial election edit

Hello, Clarissagum,

Thank you for creating 2019 Katsina State gubernatorial election.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This article needs to state which country this election occurred in.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hello, Clarissagum,

If a reviewer moves articles you created to Draft space, please do not cut & paste them and created new articles in main space without the drafts being removed. Moving your articles into Draft space indicates that there are problems that need to be addressed. Please work on the drafts, do not recreate them in main space.

Proposed deletion of List of unity schools in Nigeria edit

Hello, Clarissagum

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username B203GTB, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, List of unity schools in Nigeria, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

  1. Edit the page
  2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|B203GTB}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
