Welcome! edit

 
Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, RickyRosea69, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

  • Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
  • Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
    • Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
    • Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
  • Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
  • Add headings with ==double equal signs==
    • If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a table of contents.
    • Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can delete {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
      • ===subheadings are similar===
  • When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
  • If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
  • ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes''' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects by topic, alternatively the talkpages of articles you are interested in may have links to relevant Wikiprojects.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this adds your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

assistance edit

It is very unfortunate that you have been placed in this situation. Teachers have been known to do strange things with Wikipedia assignments; this particular ill-conceived grading device was in the past more common, but we have had some success in discouraging it. I wouldn't act myself, but pass on the information to those who have current experience and responsibility in the area. I can not publish my email here, but you should be able to find it--it is public information that I am an officer of the WM-NYC chapter.

The fundamental policy of WP is WP:IAR, and if it will help prevent the future misuse of WP, I'll help you handle the article the way you mentioned on my talk p. DGG ( talk ) 05:21, 10 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your submission at Articles for creation: Canadian Party Life has been accepted edit

 
Canadian Party Life, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
