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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
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.

[edit]Hey there. There will be plenty of time to update the BLPs for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris once the votes are certified or a preponderance of reliable sources report them as having won the election. Appreciate your enthusiasm, but please sit tight for a bit. Best to you. QueenofBattle (talk) 20:13, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions has been undone because it added the Good Article template to Ryan Finley (American football), an article that has not been promoted by the Good Article Nomination process. If you believe that this article meets the Good Article Criteria, then you are encouraged to nominate it for review by following the Good Article nominating instructions. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Good Article Nominations talk page. Thank you. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:05, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 7
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Marcus Robertson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Joe Woods. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:20, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Adding semi protection templates
[edit]Hi, please do not add {{pp-semi}} to a page as this denotes the semi-protection of a page. Only administrators can protect pages, and as such those templates should only be added by them. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 23:55, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- Again here. If you would like to request a page be protected, please go to WP:RFPP. Eagles 24/7 (C) 02:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Please stop adding Category:Wikipedia pages semi-protected against vandalism to articles as you did here. When semi-protection templates are added to articles, that category is automatically added. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:42, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- You will be blocked again the next time you add that category to pages as you did again here. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:49, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Conner Harrell
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Conner Harrell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Stifle (talk) 09:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

College teams in lead
[edit]Hi there. You might not have been aware, but the consensus at WP:NFL is to display the full college team's name in the lead, e.g played for the [[Washington Huskies football|Washington Huskies]], and not piping it to confuse the reader to think the link is to the state or university, e.g. played at [[Washington Huskies football|Washington]] This is consistent with the MOS:EGG linking guideline as well as the example at Wikipedia:WikiProject National Football League/Player pages format.
