Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at SourceForge. Your edits continue to appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.
- If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
- ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
- If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place
{{Help me}}on your talk page and someone will drop by to help. - The following is the log entry regarding this warning: SourceForge was changed by Maxspace64 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.893606 on 2016-11-28T21:26:51+00:00 .

Welcome[edit]
Hello Maxspace64 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.
If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Flappychappy (talk) 21:29, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
What the hek is a Wikipedian?
- A Wikipedian is someone editing Wikipedia, like you or me. Text in blue, like "Wikipedian", is a link that lead to a page that provides more detailed information on the term. Huon (talk) 22:24, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request[edit]
When you request an edit to a protected file (in this case Rocket), you need to include a complete and specific description of the change you want made. (I.e., type text after the template.) Also, please sign all talk page entries by typing "~~~~" (four tildes). Thanks. JustinTime55 (talk) 21:46, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
How do I add images?[edit]
HOW DO I ADD IMAGES????
- Hi Maxspace, thanks for your contributions. I remember when I first tried to upload an image, (nine years ago), it was very confusing and frustrating, but it doesn't have to be. To add images you first need to read through the "Finding images" tutorial. This will give you some understanding of how it works.
- For a full list of tutorials, (the complete manual), just go to Using images
- Actually uploading an image is quite simple - just click on this Wizard and it will guide you through it.
- The hard part, in my experience, was the question "under what licence am I entitled to use this image on Wikipedia?" The licence type is very important as otherwise your image will be deleted. Deletion doesn't happen immediately though - you get a notice on your Talk page well in advance, giving you time to make any corrections.
- I will be happy to help you if/when you need help - just message me on my talk page by clicking Here then click "New message". I will get back to you within 24 hours. Don't forget to "sign" your message with the four "tildes", (~).
Help with user page setup[edit]
Since you asked for my help, I took the liberty of doing some very basic setup, by adding the user page header, and a box of WP:Userboxes. The two most common show how long you've been on Wikipedia (that box tracks this automatically), and how many edits you've made (sorry, you have to track this manually.) That's the most basic info other Wikipedians want to know, your experience level. Other things it's nice to add is the language(s) you speak (if any other than English), and your topics of interest.
I also think it's good if you give a minimum description of yourself, so we get an idea of what you "bring to the table". (You obviously are entitled to protect your anonymity by not giving "Too Much Information".)
Try to keep your user page separate from your user talk page; conversations really belong here, not there.
We have little clubs we call Wikiprojects; you probably want to check out WP:WikiProject Spaceflight. You might want to register on that project page, and find the userbox you can put on your page. You can put it on your watchlist by pressing the star tab on the top of the page.
Good luck and happy editing. JustinTime55 (talk) 19:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Clue about templates[edit]
Templates are handy tools that do a lot of pre-programming for you. They are invoked by text between double curly braces ({}). To see how templates you come across are used, go to "Template:template-name" in the search bar. E.g.: Template:Userboxtop. JustinTime55 (talk) 19:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
