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

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 userpage.

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!

Camila Batmanghelidjh

Hi, I saw you added 1 January 1963 as Camila's date of birth, because a lot of sources are saying she died on her birthday. She celebrated her birthday on 1 January but her birth was never registered so she didn't even know her own actual date of birth. See this article from the BBC which confirms her date of birth is unknown.  dummelaksen  (talk • contribs) 02:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough - that wasn't made clear in a lot of the articles about her death. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 08:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Harry the house

Hi,

The IP user you reverted here is a very prolific blocked editor, "Harry the house". Could you keep an eye out for his work? He tends to edit pages on British politics and television, and has a fondness for changing "after" to "following", as well as adding "piped" forms to random links and overlinking the names of Labour politicians. This was Harry, and so was this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and most of these, and many, many more.

Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 10:22, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

PS

The other thing is that Wikipedia actually prefers redirects to piped links. Please have a look at MOS:LINK, WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:NOPIPE.

N [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]]

Y [[Mozart]]

Best wishes, Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 10:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks - I mistakenly thought that piped links were preferred. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 12:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

It's a really common misperception, but I'm doing my best to spread the word. If you'd like a good practical example of the advantages of redirection, see the example of [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]] here. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 12:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
