Welcome!
[edit]Hello, DancingPineapple, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Yoshitaka Hoshino edits
[edit]Hi DancingPineapple. Thank you for trying to help improve and expand the article Yoshitaka Hoshino. I've temporarily reverted your expansion, however, in order to assess the content and see if there's a better way to try and incorporate it into the existing format of the article. This is not necessarily because your edits were inappropriate, but mainly just to try and keep the formatting of professional shogi players as consistent as possible and make sure the information is all verifiable through citations to reliable sources (as defined by Wikipedia). -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:36, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
- Please don't embed external links into the body-sections of articles like you did for Japan eSports Union. This is not really acceptable as explained here and here. In some cases, in might be possible to add a interlanguage link if an article about the organization, person, subject matter, etc. in question exists on another language Wikipedia, but links to external websites shouldn't be embedded if not. Some other things I noticed about your edits are as follows: Wikipedia doesn't use ordinal numbers for dates as explained in MOS:DATEFORMAT; try to keep the date format consistent with the one already being used in the article per WP:DATEVAR and WP:DATEUNIFY; try not to add external links as the "titles" of citations as explained here; and while it's good to be WP:BOLD, it's also good to be WP:CAUTIOUS when making major changes to an article. Please understand that sometimes student editors working under the pressures and constraints of their respective classes may try to do too much at once even though their intentions may be the best, whereas there are really WP:NODEADLINES for the most part when it comes to Wikipedia. In addition, many of instructors have limited experience when it comes to Wikipedia editing and may be expecting their classes to do things that might not be easy to do. So, student editors and their instructors sometimes run into problems with other Wikipedia editors because of this; therefore, it might be a good idea (particularly if you're somehow being graded on your work) to keep major changes in your sandbox until your instructor sees it and assesses it. It's can also be helpful to seek input from your class's Wiki Ed advisor with respect to any major edits you're planning on making because these advisors tend to be quite experienced in Wikipedia editing. Finally, you should also be aware that different language Wikipedias are not always the same in terms of their respective policies and guidelines or how rigorously their policies and guidelines are applied. So, taking content and sources from these other language Wikipedias doesn't always work well with respect to English Wikipedia because such things aren't always considered acceptable under English Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I'm not totally sure that's what you did in the case of this article, but some of what you added did seem to come from the Japanese Wikipedia article about Hoshino. If you're planning on using content found on other language Wikipedias with respect to other articles, you might want to take a look at this and this for reference. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
