There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. 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.Teahouse reply

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to User talk: Robert McClenon while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address by one person. If this was not your intention, then please always remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:25, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
How to alert other editors
[edit]When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a small blue sign followed by a long yellow box at the top of your page (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in just the red sign notification on top of that users page. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write {{ping|W.carter}} resulting in @W.carter: or [[User:W.carter|W.carter]] resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~~~~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.
The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. w.carter-Talk 22:30, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Potential conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, looking at the history of the edits to the page Ahmed Fawzi, its timing and the tone of the writing, I wonder whether your contributions may be considered conflict of interest. As you may know users contributing to the project who may have a conflict of interest are obliged to state it. I would be thankful if you could read the guidelines and provide clarifications about this. Otherwise the next step would be to report the issue to the COI noticeboard. Thank you, --Desyman (talk) 16:18, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
Hello Desyman, thank you for your message. I hope this is the right way to answer. I can only state that there is no conflict of interest. Simply haven't seen any new articles / news items to add to this page. A couple of years ago I believed that setting up a page about Ahmad Fawzi would not only be a great way to start being active on Wikipedia (which I did, and then - unfortunately - not so much anymore) but also to add interesting content to wikipedia regarding a high level UN staff member.
- Thanks Klhartog for the reply. However, there are nonetheless some issues pointing at a potential conflict of interest. I wish to recall that failure to report paid or COI contributions is against Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. In order to be on the safe side, I strongly recommend to avoid further edits on that page or any other page where a doubt on COI may be raised.--Desyman (talk) 14:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Desyman, there is no conflict of interest and I was in no way paid or in any other way compensated to contribute to this page. I'm not sure how to provide proof that there is no conflict of interest. If you could point out specific issues that you have identified, I'd be happy to respond/clarify but reading the text again I don't see anything that points to a COI. In any case I will follow your suggestion to refrain from contributing to this page. I will remove the template message at the top of the page.
- So you have no connection to Mr. Fawzi whatsoever? You've almost exclusively edited about Mr. Fawzi. If you have no conflict of interest, okay, but that's one of the red flags that others users see. 331dot (talk) 11:17, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello 331dot, exactly - no connection, no CoI. Please see my initial reply to this thread.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Klhartog (talk • contribs)
- I've seen it, and I understand it. Could you understand why others might think that you have one, even if you don't? 331dot (talk) 20:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
I understand the initial question, but I hope that I have responded in a sufficiently clear manner.
- Sorry Klhartog, but a simple denial does not seem to me sufficiently persuasive. Several elements point at a COI in this case, and I will open an infringment discussion as soon as I will have the time. Please until your position is clarified it would be best if you could stop editing the page in question and especially avoid unjustified removals of templates. Thank you.--Desyman (talk) 23:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi Desyman, since May last year you have stated repeatedly that there are 'some elements' or 'several elements' that point to a COI. The most specific you made it was the tone and timing. I have replied to those concerns last year. Please proceed and please make your concern more concrete/specific. The fact that you have a hunch and don't believe my answers isn't or shouldn't be sufficient to flag this page or question my integrity. I have studied the CoI guide and frankly I don't see any issues. I invite you to read my previous answers once more in which I have explained my motivation for creating this page. More recently, I already agreed to no longer edit this page even though I believe there is no reason for me to do so. Please do what you have to do, but let's move beyond feelings & hunches
- ==Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion==
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Desyman (talk) 20:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
