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

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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
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.
Minor edit flag edit
Hi, thanks for your improvements to Vasectomy. Just a small heads up that edits that involve material changes to the content of an article (e.g. this or this) should not be marked as minor edits. That flag should typically only be used for 'housekeeping' edits (e.g. fixes to spelling or formatting). Cheers. Colin M (talk) 17:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- That makes sense, I will follow that going forward. Thanks. DashDashUnderscore (talk) 17:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. A tag has been placed on User:DashDashUnderscore requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

- I was taking about a problem I am working on with the Kidney trade in Iran page. I don't understand how it is being interpreted as personal hosting? I believe that is a legitimate use of a user page.
- It could have been worded better and I planned on revisiting it to improve. DashDashUnderscore (talk) 00:21, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Anthony Bradbury It seems I'm unlikely to get a response from @Ruy. Could you give me an indication to the specific problem I had with my old user page?
- I have read guidance on content policies on user pages and I understand the stated reason was for using it as web hosting. I don't get what was wrong with it. My guess is that I said I was curious about aa specific thing which might have seemed blog-y but I don't think that is a huge deviation from the user pages where interested in subjects are stated.
- I want to get to the bottom of this before re-creating my user page again.

- @Ruy I definitely didn't use my user page for writing any articles. DashDashUnderscore (talk) 16:57, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Ruy It was a one or two paragraph page of my first draft of my user page. It wasn't in the style of an article. DashDashUnderscore (talk) 13:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
