LyraInfo

Hi! LyraInfo here! Are there any pages or groups on Wikipedia that can answer questions? I have a few as I am a new user!

Appears you have found Teahouse. There are also many guidelines. For example, Help:Referencing for beginners. David notMD (talk) 10:22, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Edit summaries are typically short. Pick any article and click on View history to see the chronological changes to an article, with edit summaries. Green numbers mean that the edit made the article longer; red means shorter. David notMD (talk) 10:24, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Users

Users can retire, and put a RETIRED header on their User and Talk page. With a few exceptions, Users can delete content from their Talk page, although most editors choose to leave it or achieve it. Be aware that deleted content can still be viewed by others who go to an editor's View history. Users can also be short-term or indefinitely blocked for bad behavior. If the latter, there is a means to petition to be unblocked. The blocking step is usually preceded by progressively severe Warnings. I know you did not ask about any of this, but I felt it was an offshoot of your question at Teahouse. David notMD (talk) 14:20, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
