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.

Deletions

[edit]

Can you explain why you made these deletions? Because, you know, you didn't explain your changes to these controversial articles.

I think you will have to admit that there are multiple 'sides' who would like to change perceptions and, um, facts, about pretty much anything to do with Taiwan and such. You can not just change things, especially long-standing text, without explaining your reasoning. Shenme (talk) 06:06, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cultured pearl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mantle. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 05:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

[edit]

Regarding the edit summary of this edit you made, on Wikipedia you must cite reliable sources when you add new content. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for Wikipedia; it is a circular reference. There is no "reluctance to read the content of [a Wikipedia] article"; editors are not supposed to be citing other Wikipedias. Your assumption that the revert was made "based on mood" also speaks to a lack of understanding of my previous comment and sourcing policies on Wikipedia. You have comments dating back at least 7 years; please take a moment to understand the sourcing policies on this site. Yue🌙 16:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
