A lengthy welcome edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.
Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 20:10, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 21 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited German immigration, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Emigration from Germany. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Andrew Tate edit
Hello! I would like you to remove your changes you did on the Andrew Tate article on 2nd August 2022 22:11. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew_Tate&type=revision&diff=1102003014&oldid=1101998192
This was already discussed on the article's talk page and everyone agreed that the source is heavily biased and opinionated and has failed verification, as you can't even see the video that is in question in the article. As I am not an extended confirmed editor, I ask you to remove these changes, which had already been discussed on the talk page. Thank you! Mst5506 (talk) 14:00, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- Correction, IntoTheNightSky: Mst is actually topic-banned from editing that article. Editing on behalf of a banned editor is covered under WP:PROXYING. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:53, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
- I couldn't revert it even if I wanted to since I only have 187 edits, not 500. And besides multiple sources mention this detail about Andrew Tate:
- 9 Reasons Parents Should Be Concerned By Andrew Tate | YourTango
- Andrew Tate TikTok controversy: All the things he has done and said (thetab.com)
- Police Raid Andrew Tate, MAGA ‘King of Toxic Masculinity,’ in Human-Trafficking Investigation (thedailybeast.com)
- And I know Reddit generally should not be used as a source but here is the video if you want to see it yourself: [1] IntoTheNightSky (talk) 20:34, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
