To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. 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.

@Jax 0677: I just edited the article "Irrational number". The only change was to correct the spelling of one word. ("incommensurability" instead of "incommenurability"). When I looked at the "diff" there seemed to be many changes that I didn't make. I was a little concerned, so I undid the edit. Is everything OK now? Addua (talk) 21:05, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

[edit]

Please help me with... I'm about to add his 2019 book to "Selected Bibliography" in the Melvin Konner article, but see that there are lots of restrictions. Is there any reason I shouldn't add it? Addua (talk) 16:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC) Addua (talk) 16:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It would not be a "selected" bibliography if it exhaustively lists all of his publications, but that should not stop you from adding the book if you can provide a reference. In fact, it would do the article a favor if you could track down and add the ISBNs for all of the listed books. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:25, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... Regarding my recent edit of The Art of Loving

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Art_of_Loving&oldid=1215111905

I corrected the typo. But the typo was in the original quote, not introduced in Wikipedia. Wikipedia asks editors to be bold. Is there an optimal way to address this? Addua (talk) 05:02, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addua, the advice is at MOS:SIC. You can just correct minor typos. If you think the difference might matter, you should use the {{sic}} template instead. Regards! — Usedtobecool ☎️ 05:13, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks; that help paragraph covered exactly the question I had. Addua (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
