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

I'm Walter Görlitz, 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

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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

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!

January 2019

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Canada does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:25, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

British Empire

Please stop making controversial changes to the article. Issues such as duration, capital etc. have been previously debated. If you want to change those positions then make your case on the talk page. Please also read WP:BRD, if you continue to insert material after it has been reverted then you are edit warring. -----Snowded ^TALK 07:42, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:CL of 2ne1 in year 2013.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CL of 2ne1 in year 2013.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:30, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:CL of 2ne1 in year 2013.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:CL of 2ne1 in year 2013.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 17:47, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Please stop mass page moving without consensus

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you move page titles in Wikipedia without consensus. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:00, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Your mass moves created a lot of clean-up work from both editors and bots to undo all of the page moves, plus talk page moves and redirects that had to be moved back to their original targets. Please do not do this again. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:41, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Please stop reverting redirects without consensus

There appeared to be a clear consensus on Korean Peninsula, you should discuss it at the talk page first. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 07:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Infobox former country

Infobox former country is not an excisting template but rather a redirect to Infobox country, do not change this in articles! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 11:53, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

February 2020

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Province of Quebec (1763–1791), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. I have clearly explained what you are doing wrong, yet you continue? Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

March 2020

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Italian East Africa, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 11:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Portuguese Guinea. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 16:12, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Listen

Do not ignore other editors, listen to their messages, edit-summaries and warnings. And stop disrupting articles or you will get banned! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:37, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Ming dynasty, you may be blocked from editing. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:09, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
