Welcome Kapulakone!

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

I'm Pdebee, 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!

  The Finland Barnstar of National Merit
Dear Kapulakone,  
I award you this Barnstar of national merit for your dedication in creating articles on Finnish places that are missing here at the anglophone Wiki. Thank you for all your contributions to our encyclopaedia, and please keep up your excellent work.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Keuruu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pihlajavesi. 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.)

Dear Kapulakone; I took the liberty of fixing the above wikilink to a disambiguation page for you, here.   Done

Are you OK?

Dear colleague,
Please let me know if there is anything I could do to assist you? I sometimes look at your contributions and always conclude that you are doing a great job! If you would like to work with me as a team of two, then please tell me, and we could arrange how to work together in a way that you find helpful. All best wishes to you.
With kind regards;

Hey,
Nothing happened, I was just tired on that day. Anyway, I will resume editing as usual, I've considered making articles about districts of Jyväskylä and villages of Jyväskylän mlk. I assume they are noteworthy enough as every district of Turku seems to have a (stub) article and those haven't been deleted/marked as insignificant?
And municipalities of course, I should probably prioritize those. Kapulakone (talk) 15:27, 8 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Welcome back!
I was a bit worried but am glad it was only a momentary dip in your energy level, which happens to us all.  
If you are ever unsure about the notability of places, look at Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features), or contact me and we can decide together if you would like a second opinion. It’s funny you should mention Jyväskylä, as I went there to visit a client in the 1990s! I also used to visit other clients in Helsinki. I loved going to Suomi!
Keep well and enjoy your projects here; your contributions are much appreciated.
With kind regards;
