Try to stay within the top levels of the triangle.

Are you a newcomer to Wikipedia? Here are some resources that you may find helpful:

• There's this video that explains some of the basics of how Wikipedia works. It's aimed more towards readers than editors, but it can give a decent foundation of some things to be aware of before you start editing. This video by an experienced Wikipedian provides more substantial advice.
• The Wikipedia Adventure. This is a very basic (and somewhat eccentric) editing tutorial.
• Do you have a conflict-of-interest? Read this guide. It's also important to be aware of an ongoing scam.
• Category:All stub articles which is organized alphabetically and by topic. All these articles could be expanded!
• This is a tutorial for what to know if you wanted to create an article. Our guideline on what is notable for inclusion on the site is a crucial part of this process.
• Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch – advice on phrasing to avoid when editing
• This page is a glossary of different terms used on Wikipedia that can help you understand what people are talking about if you come across an unfamiliar acronym.
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory – this is a list of wikiprojects. Some are way more active than others but it's a decent way to try and find groups of articles that match your interests. I'm particularly fond of Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada and the associated challenge for improving articles.
• This is the perennial sources list, which can be helpful if you're not sure if something is a reliable source. If it's not on this list and you have concerns, try this noticeboard.
• If you are in a disagreement with another editor, you can try asking for a third opinion. There are also other processes for dispute resolution.
• The Wikipedia Library – this cannot be used until you have 6 months tenure, no active blocks, and 500 edits. However, once you meet the criteria, it is a very useful resource. There is also the Wikipedia:Resource Exchange. I have subscriptions to the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and Niagara Falls Review, if you ever want me to verify something for you. I also have access to the James A. Gibson library at Brock University.

Question from Nooky Nauyokas (14:35, 20 November 2024)

How do i enter a picture --Nooky Nauyokas (talk) 14:35, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

@Nooky Nauyokas: You can upload images by going to Wikipedia:File upload wizard. Please make sure you follow all the instructions carefully, copyright violations are deleted quickly. Let me know if you have any further questions. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 16:57, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Collin2022 (10:56, 21 November 2024)

Liance，Sorry to bother you. I corrected the source of an image, but it hasn't updated yet. Best of luck! --Collin2022 (talk) 10:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

@Collin2022: My name is Hannah, not Liance. I'm not sure who you're talking about, but I'm an automatically assigned mentor (which means you can ask me questions about editing Wikipedia). Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:25, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Hannah, so sorry about this. The text in the logo on this Creality wiki page（Creality） is white, which obviously makes it difficult for users to read. I tried replacing it with an image of the logo with darker text (from the official source), but I was unsuccessful. Collin2022 (talk) 01:40, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Collin2022: You would need to upload a different version of the file if you wish to change it. You can do that by going to File:Creality logo.png, scrolling to the bottom, and clicking "upload a new version of this file". If you are being paid to edit this article, you must disclose this, as undisclosed paid editing is against our terms of use. There is also this guide for contributing with a conflict of interest.

Thank you for your patient guidance. I think I've run into a big problem. I tried following your method to upload, but it said I needed to create a Commons account. When I tried to create one, it notified me that my IP was banned. Awkward...I feel like I'm about to give up。

"Editing and uploading from 184.104.0.0/16 was disabled by Achim55 for the following reason: Open proxy (more info): colocationwebhost This block (ID #471249) is set to expire: 16:52, 22 December 2024. "

Doing this is not for any reward; it's just a personal hobby. Best wishes. Collin2022 (talk) 06:00, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

@Collin2022: I've asked a few other editors to try and understand what might be going on here, and they said that you must have accidentally done something wrong, because it shouldn't have directed you to Commons, as this is non free content. Make sure you scroll down on that image I linked, it should say: Below is the main upload form. For a simpler interface and more specific instructions, use Wikipedia:Upload. Do not use the simpler interface option. You also don't want to click a blue button that takes you to Commons somewhere? Hopefully that helps. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 15:30, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
