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.

[edit]
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Pedagogy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for February 8
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Francesco Maggiotto, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Testament. 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) 06:20, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Italian agencies
[edit]
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 Category:Italian agencies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_February_27#Category:Agencies. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thanks for the barnstar
[edit]New editors don’t always realize how much these barnstars warm the cockles of other editors’ hearts! Thank you for being the exception. I take it this was prompted by Annibale Giordano. I thought it was quite a good article, and interesting. I have worked on different parts of the French Revolution, but hadn’t realized that there were any direct links to Italy like that.
One thing I wanted to point out is that inter language links aren’t very commonly used yet, but they serve the dual purpose of pointing out the existence of another article in a different language — and someone reading an article like this that wants more information might well either have some Italian or be motivated enough to get the Italian article translated — and also of getting the subject onto a list of articles that someone should consider writing. I mention this because that article had quite a few and some of them looked quite notable; in other words it is not the case that there is no article because the topic is obscure or not important. You may encounter monolinguals who do not know what those links are and want to delete them because they are red. On English Wikipedia it is often the case that new editors link absolutely everything including topics that almost certainly never will have an article in any language. An example of this might be a city council member in Iowa, barring something else that makes him or her notable. You should resist this. Tell them to talk to me, if necessary.
Meanwhile, since I am here, let me point out the existence of WP:PNT, which can always use help, and is also a good place to list that article you find that looks interesting but you cannot quite decipher. Ta. Thanks again. Elinruby (talk) 22:21, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
