Question from EdgarÆtheling 25 (19:00, 28 December 2023)

Hello, I am wondering how do I divide articles into sections such as Biography, References, etc. Thanks. --EdgarÆtheling 25 (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

EdgarÆtheling 25, take a look at Help:Section for information about making sections appear, and MOS:Layout for information about what those sections should be titled! Hope this helps. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 05:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Technical Barnstar
Are you a real person? If so, how do I change the name of a page that I made? I am trying to name it "The Canadian Junior Team" however, it has my user name with the word sandbox. WyattDav2 (talk) 17:04, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jorgecita1999 (08:33, 10 January 2024)

How do I get my self on Wikipedia --Jorgecita1999 (talk) 08:33, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Jorgecita1999, it's not a good idea to write about yourself. See Wikipedia:Autobiography. If you become notable according to Wikipedia's criteria, someone will write about you eventually. — ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 20:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
