Wikipedia Adventure and the Teahouse

Hi Answie. Since you are a new editor, there are probably lots of things about Wikipedia that you don't understand. That's OK because nobody is going to expect a new editor to know every single policy and guideline by heart. The Wikipedia community understands that editors, particulary new editors, are probably going to make mistakes. Problems only happen when an editor keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again. That is why I strongly suggest you take the Wikipedia Adventure (see the link in the welcome template I added to your user talk page). The WA is an interactive introduction to the basics of Wikipedia editing, so you will get to chance to learn a little about Wikipedia by actually making some edits. You'll also find a link to the Wikipedia Teahouse in the above template. The Teahouse is a good place to go for help with general questions about Wikipedia editing or Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The Teahouse hosts tend to be very experienced editors and there are lots of them using helping out there at all times, so it's a good place to ask questions. Good luck with your editing. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:39, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

July 2018

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Old Alton Bridge, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Meters (talk) 04:52, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Old Alton Bridge. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Stop adding this. Two guys "claiming" an old bridge does not mean the bridge has a new name. This has been undone multiple times, and the article has been protected multiple times because of this. The current protection is for one year. As a confirmed editor ignoring this protection and restoring the material is a good way to get yourself blocked. Meters (talk) 04:57, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
