Welcome AbelAndCain!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 48,300,957 registered editors!
Hello AbelAndCain. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
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
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
  Perform maintenance tasks
           
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

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.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Undid revision 987400285 by AbelAndCain (talk)

[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)[reply]

November 2020

[edit]

Information icon 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)[reply]

[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)[reply]

A belated welcome!

[edit]
The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, AbelAndCain! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Try the Wikipedia:Task Center.

If you don't already know, you should sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes (~~~~) to insert your username and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! Jonathan Deamer (talk) 18:05, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]


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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

I will not add it again. Thank you for the warning. AbelAndCain (talk) 16:03, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 13:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
