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 userpage.
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.

Camila Batmanghelidjh
[edit]Hi, I saw you added 1 January 1963 as Camila's date of birth, because a lot of sources are saying she died on her birthday. She celebrated her birthday on 1 January but her birth was never registered so she didn't even know her own actual date of birth. See this article from the BBC which confirms her date of birth is unknown. dummelaksen (talk • contribs) 02:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough - that wasn't made clear in a lot of the articles about her death. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 08:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Harry the house
[edit]Hi,
The IP user you reverted here is a very prolific blocked editor, "Harry the house". Could you keep an eye out for his work? He tends to edit pages on British politics and television, and has a fondness for changing "after" to "following", as well as adding "piped" forms to random links and overlinking the names of Labour politicians. This was Harry, and so was this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and most of these, and many, many more.

PS
The other thing is that Wikipedia actually prefers redirects to piped links. Please have a look at MOS:LINK, WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:NOPIPE.

- OK, thanks - I mistakenly thought that piped links were preferred. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 12:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's a really common misperception, but I'm doing my best to spread the word. If you'd like a good practical example of the advantages of redirection, see the example of

Disambiguation link notification for November 1
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited QI, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ed Byrne. 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.)

1988 POTUS election
[edit]I mean nobody managed to inherit presidency from a party mate since 1988. Clinton grabbed from GOP in 92, Bush 43 took from DEM in 2000, Obama won from GOP in 08, Trump takes twice from DEM, Biden got once from GOP. Em 88 (talk) 13:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I see what you mean now - thanks for clarifying. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 14:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
