User:Slatersteven how can I edit good i don't really understand the whole thing and i really want to become a good editor TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 15:04, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read our wp:policies (including the ones whose links you have now removed from your talk page). Make sure your edits (generally, we all make mistakes) conform to them. And accept this is a collaborative process, and you need to get other users on your side. Slatersteven (talk) 15:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't like all those texts it was crounded TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 15:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then it is hard to advise you, as any advice will also ber crowded text. OK, lets try. Slatersteven (talk) 15:11, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i will not delete it TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 15:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. Any edit to an article must be supported by a reliable source wp:rs, what you think it is is not enough wp:or. Someone else must have also said it publicly wp:v.

2. Text must be relevant to the topic, whatever you think if it is not relevant (SEE 1) wp:undue.

3. Assume good faith, no user is out to get you (Nor are our policies) wp:agf.

4. Comment on content, not users. Argue against that they say, not who they arewp:npa.

5. When you are a lone voice in the wilderness do not fight your corner, accept no one agrees with you, and do something else with your time.

7. We are all unpaid here, we do this out of a sense of (whatever reason someone gives), they do not want to waste it.

That might be a good start. Slatersteven (talk) 15:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I never got around to writing an essay based around wp:not, which would have been called "we are not a comedy club". None of this is meant as a joke. Slatersteven (talk) 15:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So no since of humor Wikipedia:DROPTHESTICK TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 15:27, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for advice, not a joke. Drop the stick is good advice to avoid seeming wp:disruptive. |Like WP:NOTDUMB, if you follow it you will have less trouble here. Slatersteven (talk) 15:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

in wikipedia do we have to reead every sigle word comma when editin ?User:Slatersteven TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 15:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sorry for the misplacement am noit good at fixing typos TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 15:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To a degree yes. If you just repeat the same comment over and over again it will be seen as disruptive, as will if you ask why an article does not say something when it does. But no, not every word or comma. Just enough to not look like an idiot when you (for example) ask why the WW2 article does not mention Nazi Germany. wp:cir may well be brought up if you keep on asking foolish questions. You will be expected at some point to stand on your own two feet as an editor, and not ask the same question over and over again in the hope of getting the answer you want. Slatersteven (talk) 15:56, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An editor may create a red-color Wikilink by putting double brackets around a word or term for which an article does not yet exist. The intent is to suggest that this is a valid topic for an article not yet written. In general, removing red Wikilinks does not improve an article, although in some instances the red Wikilinks are to topics so obscure that there is little to no potential for a draft on those topics to succeed. Better to leave red Wikilinks in place. David notMD (talk) 15:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to give you an illustration, it just did what you did and added my box. Slatersteven (talk) 17:20, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You now need to alter the text to say your user name, and you need a closing tag. Slatersteven (talk) 17:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how do i do that TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 17:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully, you have edited some articles, as to understand how the policies and guidelines are put into action. If you have any inquiries, I will always be there for you. Good luck!

WTF TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 18:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No you have edited with this account. And you can still search, you do not need an account for that. Slatersteven (talk) 18:09, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

but still i always make acounts its my thing and i don't even want to edit TheSmartWikiOne (talk) 18:16, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

...is this a confession of sockpuppetry, or an implication that you make accounts everywhere? if you don't want to edit, you can refrain from editing cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 18:19, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then you do not need an account, you can still read WP without one and [[1]] is an edit, the first one you made, so now you are also clearly not telling the truth I will leave you to dig an been deeper hole. Note if you keep on waisting users time here, you will lose the ability to edit this talk page as well. Slatersteven (talk) 18:21, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, it was a justified block. I haven't seen the user contributing to actual content, and just waste people's time. Given that they enrolled to the CVUA, I will close the course as invalid. ToadetteEdit (talk) 19:05, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
