Hello, InfoWanderer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Information icon Hello, I'm Zzzs. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --ZZZ'S 05:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kubernetes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Greek. 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) 18:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Aella (writer), did not appear to be constructive and have 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 your 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. Iljhgtn (talk) 15:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iljhgtn,
Thanks for your message, but I have to disagree. My edits were made in good faith to give a fuller picture based on what's out there in interviews and other sources. Right now, the article seems to be presenting an image that doesn't line up with what the person has publicly said about their main sources of income, which focus on escort work and creating adult content on OnlyFans. I've already raised these concerns on the talk page and would appreciate it if you could respond there. I think it's important to reflect all relevant aspects of their career, not just a selective version.
Best, InfoWanderer (talk) 03:26, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi InfoWanderer,

from your edit summary here, where you claimed that the revert of your previous edits had been done without explanation, it is evident that you had overlooked the edit summary of that revert. So let me repeat and expand those explanations about the various problems with your reverted edit:

  • Your edit extensively cited a tabloid newspaper which is deprecated as a source, see WP:DAILYMAIL.
  • Your claim about what the article subject is "primarily known" for was not backed up by a reference and appears to be your personal conclusion, which is discouraged under Wikipedia policies, see WP:NOR.
  • You changed the wording of a verbatim quote to a version that the quoted author had not actually said. Such tampering is strongly discouraged, see MOS:PMC (the wording of the quoted text must be faithfully reproduced).

Regards, HaeB (talk) 17:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HaeB, thanks for your message and for explaining the reasons behind the revert. I understand the points you raised about the Daily Mail and original research. However, I want to point out that my edits weren’t the only ones you reverted — it looks like all contributions, including those from other editors, were undone in one go. While I’ll step back from editing for now, I still think the article has some issues that go beyond what you mentioned. It feels like the current version promotes a specific image of the person that doesn’t fully reflect what’s been said in interviews or what can be found online. It makes me wonder about the motives behind keeping it this way. I hope we can work together to make sure the article is more balanced. Please respond to my commends on the talk page.
