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

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.

Deletion discussion about Akonda

Hello, BetterThanNothing,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Willbb234 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Akonda should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akonda.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Willbb234}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Akonda

Akonda was redirected per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akonda. If you wish to challenge this closure, please do so via deletion review. I've semi-protected the article to prevent it from being recreated by IP users. If you recreate it again, I'll have to block you. So, please don't do that again. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:07, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: they recently recreated the article. Thanks, Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 16:18, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Well, someone else actually went through with creating it. But, BetterThanNothing, please just leave that article alone. If you want to appeal the consensus to redirect it, use the link above. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:16, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Akonda. This will be your final warning before I take your disruptive editing to ANI. If you do not care enough to source or source reliably you will forfeit your editing privileges!

Unsourced content at Akon

With these two edits at Akon, [1] and [2], you added that the album Konnect "will be released sometime in 2020". You cited this source, but nowhere in that source does it say that. Perhaps I missed something. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:11, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Akon-Akonda-Album.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Akon-Akonda-Album.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at K Camp discography. You have had multiple warnings about adding unsourced content, including a level-4 warning this month from User:Robvanvee. Your unsourced content reduces the reliability of Wikipedia as a reliable source to readers. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

ANI-notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread can be found here. Robvanvee 16:11, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

December 2019

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content and refusing to communicate despite repeated warnings.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 18:07, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Cardi B - Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 2.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Cardi B - Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. HiDrNick! 17:45, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
