Hello, I'm Jusdafax. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Shelly Miscavige—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Jusdafax (talk) 20:53, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Vanderpump Rules After Show, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Fragrant Peony (talk) 23:41, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
Please start using the Preview button
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Grorp (talk) 00:24, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
A few tips
[edit]@Itiwtu: I appreciate you working on several of the articles in Wikipedia, and I'd like to point out some standards to help you to edit collaboratively with other editors. I can tell you are a new editor and I know there is so much to learn. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me (or any editor) and I'll try to get an answer for you.
The infobox at the top right of an article is described here: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Infoboxes. It is meant to be a very short summary of key points in the article. It's not meant to be comprehensive, all-inclusive, and long.
There is a concept called reliable source which you need to know about. Basically, if it's in a book or published by a newspaper, then it's probably a reliable source. Websites that anyone can edit, like FindaGrave, are not considered reliable sources and another Wikipedia editor will likely come behind you and remove it (as has been done several times to the Shelly Miscavige article).
When someone else reverts your edit, or edits after you, before changing the article again you should check the edit history to see if the other editor left behind comments explaining why they made the change. As an example, here is a link to the Shelly Miscavige article's edit history.
You can also check the article's talk page to see if there is a discussion about a particular aspect of the article, like I just did on the Shelly Miscavige talk page.
I hope this is helpful. Grorp (talk) 02:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice:
{{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.
