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

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

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

Sincerely, aGastya  ✉ let's have a constructive talk about it (: 08:06, 8 April 2015 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)[reply]

Duplicate account

[edit]

I take it you are also the owner of the User:Babelfisch account? If so, it looks like you are in violation of WP:DOPPELGANGER. Please choose one account to use. Thanks, Number 57 12:25, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia asked me to connect my accounts across different language versions. I said yes. It was an accident. --Babel fish (talk) 15:11, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So I assume your current account is the unified one and you will have to stop using the other one? Number 57 15:22, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The connection of en:User:Babel fish and de:Benutzer:Babel fish was a mistake: the connection should be between en:User:Babelfisch and de:Benutzer:Babel fish, but I don’t know how that can be corrected. On the English Wikipedia, I generally use Babelfisch and I avoid using “Babel fish”. Are you seriously accusing me of “sock puppetry” or any other “crimes”? --Babel fish (talk) 12:42, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, it was quite clear that you were the same user, it's just that you can't use both accounts. You can always ask at meta:Help:Unified login (however, my experience is that it's not possible to link accounts with different names unless you rename them first – unfortunately now you've created this one, I don't think it's possible anymore (I lost an account on another Wikipedia a few years ago because of this)).
