Hello Coyopelly. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Paine Ellsworth, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

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   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!

Sincerely, P.I. Ellsworth  ed. ^put'r there 12:21, 20 September 2020 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)

Welcome adoptee!

Hi there Coyo! I am very glad that you asked. You are doing great! Formality is well appreciated on Wikipedia, as it shows respect and attentiveness to the Wikipedia users across the globe. I am more than happy to help you, but please note that although I have expertise in these categories (vandalism, grammar, etc), I am relatively new to the Adopter community, so I am still learning too. I will be excited to help you learn and grow to become a respectful Wikipedian! Cheers, FlowerPetals📪 21:44, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

@FlowerPetals: Thanks! I understand completely. I'm excited to be here. I've made lots of tiny grammatical edits anonymously over the years, but I finally decided to create an account when I went to edit a protected article. Turns out I needed to get some edits under my belt before I would be able to edit it without requesting permission, so I guess I'm stuck here now. /sarcasm

I already have some questions! Is this the best place for us to talk? I'm fine with wherever. I see that some people reference talking outside of the website and some stick to talk pages? Do people use sandboxes? If there's a PM system I haven't discovered it yet. Thanks again!

People do anything from chatting and social media as long as the two can interact and connect. You can feel free to reach out to me via email (this is my preferred discourse medium) at khancastnews@gmail.com or just feel free to email me via Wikipedia. I look forward to working with you! Cheers. FlowerPetals📪 19:31, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

As an additional comment, sandboxes are for experimenting and creating draft articles. These are not for chatting :)FlowerPetals📪 19:36, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Just checking in

Just checking in... I haven't heard from you in a while so I want to make sure you are OK. Cheers.FlowerPetals📪 18:50, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for checking in! I'm still alive, but unfortunately most of my free time is during the weekend. I've also been meaning to email you, I'm just waiting for my new email from disroot to go through. The process of un-googling is a long one.

Now that you're here though, I do have a question! What is your opinion on my edits on the Drowning page? I saw it was posted as an article needing copyediting and I'm worried I might have gotten a little... overzealous.

In my defense: the article is a pretty big mess. It's a little overwhelming but I still tried my best.

Additionally, I asked a similar question on the talk page, but I'm wondering what the appropriate amounts of edits to do in one saved session is? By that I mean what shows up on the page history as a single edit. I'm unsure if my 1500+ bites edit was overly large or inclusive, e.g correcting both spelling and grammatical errors as well as restructuring sentences and deleting unnecessary information.

Anyway, I hope to be emailing you from a fancy new email address soon! Take care. Coyopelly (talk) 02:25, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Your edits for Drowning look amazing! I am proud of you! What I would take a look at is line 113 where you changed persons to person in the Water Aspiration section. The correct term should actually be persons as it denotes the plurality of what could happen when someone drowns. I hope this helps you and look forward to seeing an email from you soon! Cheers.FlowerPetals📪 19:14, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Also you could just create a new Gmail account or a mail account from other mailing service, such as Yahoo or Cox, etc and email me from that account. OR you could activate emailing via Wikipedia. Cheers. FlowerPetals📪 19:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a new Wikipedia user, I've already done a few edits and completed the Introduction, but I'm not sure what to do next. I saw this "Adopt-a-user" program on the help page, I'm interested in it. I'd be glad to be your adoptee. QuarkWater (talk) 23:47, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

I have a problem with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_(cryptocurrency) The people who control this page deliberately misinterpret the articles they themselves have brought as evidence, creating false information. They deliberately created a negative article. Is there an analogue of an arbitration court in Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtpoekm8ojillle6hblljjvlup (talk • contribs) 09:45, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
