Hello, Leannecr, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:33, 15 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Selection of article for WikiEd

edit

Hello Leannecr,

As a comment, and please don't take this as an attempt to "scare you off" or anything, but the current Vietnam War article is already very, very long. There's even a maintenance template on top of it suggesting that the article be trimmed down, as it's around 1.5x longer than the usual recommended max article size. Basically, it'd be difficult to fit in a major new section or the like. This doesn't mean you can't work in the space, but you might want to consider editing spin-off "subarticles" rather than the main Vietnam War article. Judging by the Bibliography you made, this might be articles like Women in the Vietnam War or Rape during the Vietnam War rather than the main Vietnam War article itself. Just a suggestion, though. Pinging @Ctysick: for transparency. SnowFire (talk) 05:50, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your addition to Third eye

edit

Your contribution is not good. Two of the sources have nothing to do with Buddhism. This makes the contribution synthesis or original research. They have nothing to do with how the third eye is viewed in Buddhism. The third is a commercial sales page. That is not a reliable source. Skyerise (talk) 22:36, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Third eye. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 22:38, 12 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Third eye shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Here's a good source

edit
  • Little, Tias (n.d.). "Meditation on the Third Eye". Shambhala.com. Retrieved 2022-12-12.

And here's a book source, perhaps you can find a preview online...

  • Little, Tias (2016). Yoga of the Subtle Body: A Guide to the Physical and Energetic Anatomy of Yoga. Shambhala. ISBN 978-1611801026.

They are both specifically Buddhist sources...
