Welcome!

Hello, Joebleze, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:12, 1 June 2020 (UTC)Reply


I've reversed your move of Technology and society

edit

Hi. Your move of Technology and society to a user page (not to mention your creating a user page for a nonexistent user) was entirely improper. If you explain what you were trying to do, perhaps I can point you in the right direction. Alternatively, it looks like you're participating in a class exercise involving editing on Wikipedia. You might want to discuss what you were trying to do with your instructor.

In fact, I also see you've been contacted by Shalor, who I know has been involved in WikiEducation in the past. They might be a helpful resource. Oops: I looked at Shalor's user page and discovered that as of 30 June they're no longer involved in WikiEd and has directed people to User:Ian (Wiki Ed).

I want to move my edited exist article into my sandbox. Yes, your are right, it a class exercise. Hope I get help from you. Thanks. User talk: Joebleze
You can't just move published articles out of article space into your sandbox. Normally, users edit articles right where they are. If you're new to editing and want to experiment with some changes first, until you're comfortable with them:
  1. You can copy the wikitext from the article into a page in your user space (for example, User:Joebleze/Technology and society, not User:Technology and society, which would be the main user page of a user named "Technology and society").
  2. You can make the edits there until you're satisfied.
  3. Then you can copy the wikitext from the edited portions of the sandbox copy over the previous text in the live article (except that you have to make sure, when you do that, that you don't overwrite any changes made by other editors in the interim).
