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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Arab (etymology). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

No, it was my intention... hence the statement edit summary: "drive-by tagging". Is this how it's going to work then? You've decided to follow me around and revert whatever edits I make, without engaging in any discussion? Brinyepson (talk) 19:26, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Amanda Lindhout, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Amanda Lindhout, you may be blocked from editing. WP:SELFPUB does not restrict the use of self-published content, and this is the list of URLs you're removing. Which of them is self-published: http://edmonton.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20111024/EDM_lindhout_111024/20111024/?hub=EdmontonHome http://globalspeakers.com/speakers/amanda-lindhout/ http://huntinghills.rdpsd.ab.ca/docs/library/HHHS%20W%20of%20D%20Grad%202011%20Compatibility%20Mode.pdf http://huntinghills.rdpsd.ab.ca/docs/library/HHHS%20W%20of%20D%20Grad%202011%20Compatibility%20Mode.pdf http://lethbridgeherald.com/news/local-news/2014/05/10/u-of-l-honorary-degree-recipients-named/ http://lethbridgeherald.com/news/local-news/2014/05/10/u-of-l-honorary-degree-recipients-named/ http://metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/820513/manitoba-we-day-line-up-to-include-martin-sheen-martin-luther-king-iii-neverest/ http://nsb.com/speakers/amanda-lindhout/ http://o.canada.com/entertainment/music/jann-arden-everything-almost-video http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/44026902/ns/today-good_news/t/once-kidnap-victim-somalia-she-returns-help/#.TtfLVkpGw-- http://www.100makingadifference.com/#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=31&p=0&a=0&at=0 http://www.albertalocalnews.com/reddeerexpress/news/Lindhouts_mission_aims_to_feed_300000_Somalis__132616798.html http://www.albertalocalnews.com/reddeerexpress/news/Lindhouts_mission_aims_to_feed_300000_Somalis__132616798.html http://www.assembly.ab.ca/ISYS/LADDAR_files/docs/hansards/han/legislature_27/session_3/20100223_1330_01_han.pdf http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Amanda+Lindhout+shares+horrifying+ordeal+violence+against+women/7967745/story.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/amanda-lindhout-talks-candidly-about-abuse-while-in-captivity-1.1412154 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2010/08/24/lindhout-somalia024.html http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/09/01/amanda-lindhout-trip-kenya.html http://www.cbc.ca/ottawamorning/2011/06/14/kathleens-interview-with-amanda-lindhout/ http://www.cbc.ca/thenational/indepthanalysis/story/2011/09/01/national-amandalindhout.html http://www.cgiu.org/meetings/2012/agenda.asp?day=2 http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/newsReleases/somaliaCrisis2011.php http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/newsReleases/somaliaCrisis2011.php http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/programs/somaliWomensScholarshipProgram.php http://www.globalenrichmentfoundation.com/programs/somaliWomensScholarshipProgram.php http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chobani-pledges-1-million-to-famine-relief-efforts-in-somalia-130262543.html http://www.rdc.ab.ca/academic_departments/performing_arts/news/Pages/SchumacherJewellHonouredforBeingExcellentRoleModelsforWomenGirls.aspx http://www.rdc.ab.ca/academic_departments/performing_arts/news/Pages/SchumacherJewellHonouredforBeingExcellentRoleModelsforWomenGirls.aspx http://www.rmoutlook.com/article/20120412/RMO0801/304129990/0/RMO http://www.sprucegroveexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3121201 http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/amanda-lindhout-we-day-230002321.html https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/digital/innovation/regina-jewellery-maker-banks-on-reflected-shine-of-stars/article2278241/ https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/814127--amanda-lindhout-speaks-out-for-women-in-somalia?bn=1 https://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1015907--ex-skinhead-former-islamic-radical-open-summit-against-extremism Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:26, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
