Welcome GatewayPolitics!
Hello GatewayPolitics. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Jauerback, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
  Perform maintenance tasks
           
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's 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.

Please 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 your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Mayoral elections

[edit]

Cities like Murfreesboro and Clarksville generally aren't considered large enough for all of their mayoral elections to be notable; can I suggest you merge them to a page like Mayoral elections in Providence, Rhode Island? (i.e. pages Mayoral elections in Clarksville, Tennessee and Mayoral elections in Murfreesboro, Tennessee) Elli (talk | contribs) 21:01, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good idea! It can be like Mayoral elections in Knoxville. Could you help me with this? GatewayPolitics (talk) 16:41, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Elli I'll create the articles, but i need help with the redirects GatewayPolitics (talk) 16:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First one done, just need help with the redirects Mayoral elections in Clarksville, Tennessee GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. What do you need help with doing exactly? Elli (talk | contribs) 17:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot what it's called, but the old articles need to be redirected, so if you click on them, they go to the section of the new article GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the original articles need to be made into a redirect paged GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes. I've done 2022 Clarksville mayoral election; you can see what I did to redirect it in this diff. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:31, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh okay I can do that easily 😂, thanks for helping! GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
