Welcome!

Hello, Edgon55, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

November 2018

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Cartoon Network (UK & Ireland), did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Personal opinion

Please note that Wikipedia is not a venue to post your personal opinion on topics. Your recent edits have been reverted as they consist of your own views and are not encyclopedic. Please see the links provided by Ajf773 above to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia. Thank you, -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:05, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Humdan Ahmed

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Humdan Ahmed requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Vandalism

I deleted the page you created (which is now deleted) and also noticed that you had vandalized the article Cartoon Network (UK & Ireland) with this edit. The article you created was an attack page. Actions like these are not tolerated on Wikipedia and if this continues, you run a serious risk of getting blocked from editing, which will interfere with your ability to complete your class assignment. Wikipedia is not a place for vandalism or attack pages and the site has a zero tolerance policy for attack pages. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you not continue with these actions.

Inappropriate edits

If you create further entirely inappropriate articles as you did with Humdan Ahmed, you will likely find yourself blocked from editing. As it appears that you created this account as part of a course, your course instructor (User:Dmgreene) should be able to guide you to more appropriate edits.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:09, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of page and other things

I understand that the page I created constitutes as "vandalism" and an "attack page". The creation of the page was not meant to serve as either of those things. I knew that creating the page would violate Wikipedias policy and that it would be easily deleted. I only created it to show my friend (humdan ahmed) how easy it was to create a page on wikipedia. This message is only to inform you that I was aware of the consequences, and that I apologize for doing it. Thank you.

Also, I would like to address the other edits I had made before. I knowingly made these edits since I knew they would be taken down quickly. I only went through with them because I needed to meet a quota of 10 edits to be able to edit an article that I actually need to edit. I will no longer make these kind of edits since I now have access to edit these pages. Sorry, and thank you again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edgon55 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher)@Edgon55:. I'm not associated with Wiki Ed so I'm not posting on behalf of anyone there or even on behalf of Shalor, but your post above is basically an admission of what is commonly referred to as being not here. If you continue to make these kinds of edits, you're going to quickly find yourself having problems with others and eventually the subject of discussion at one of the administrator noticeboards. Just like anyone else, you're expected to edit according to Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines.

It's OK to make mistakes, and other editors will be understanding when they happen. If those mistakes, however, start to become disruptive, then you'll quickly find that others are going to be less willing to write them off as a newbie error. While I understand part of the reason you might be editing probably has to do with it being a class assignment, you will not be given any special consideration because you're a student trying to get a good grade.

There are plenty of ways to be here for Wikipedia; so, if you want to boost your edit count for some reason, then make edits which actually improve the encyclopedia. That's the best way to ensure that you remain an editor in good standing and are a positive to the project. Editors who choose to be a negative by disrupting articles and causing others to devote time and energy to sorting out any messes left, often quickly find themselves on the outside looking in. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:35, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm copying this to your talk page to make sure that you see it and adding in the context of your message. I want to second what Marchjuly said and emphasize that this can lead to a block. It's really, really, really heavily frowned upon to make these edits - even if you're doing them knowing that they will be removed or perhaps especially so, since you're setting out to be disruptive. Basically, think of it this way: you wouldn't vandalize something in real life because you know it's destructive and not a good use of time (plus you can get in trouble)- the same premise applies here.
