There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Timoff. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Timoff~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
It is absolutely nuts, but I am giving you exceptional credit for actually listing every Viper album on Wikipedia (sources included). I don't know how you did it or had that kind of time, but seriously. That is crazy. You have my regards. Second Skin (talk) 03:48, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers, appreciate the comment. I had some fun writing a javascript script to retrieve all the albums using Spotify's API which was pretty well suited to the purpose. I tried to do the same using iTunes Store API but unfortunately wasn't as helpful. I'll try to periodically keep the list updated. Thanks to you for the formatting improvements RadishSlice (talk) 18:07, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for using the collections feature in Wikipedia beta! Due to technical and moderation issues, we will be turning off this experimental feature. Your collections will be available for viewing and export until March 1st. If you would like to save your collection as links on a special Wikipedia page, please fill out the following form. If you are interested in giving your feedback about Wikipedia Collections please do so here.
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hello RadishSlice, I see that you uploaded some maps of the Auckland wards for the Auckland Council a few years back. I was wondering if you had access or would be able to create a map of the Auckland wards, just without any ward highlighted? Looking to use a map of Auckland for 2021 New Zealand National League (as well as future seasons) to show the location of teams. Just thought I'd see if you could help.

@Kezyfooty: Hi, thanks for asking. I've dug up the old project directory and exported a blank map as PNG, with the Wards outlined but none highlighted. See thumbnail at right, hope it's helpful Auckland Council 2019 Wards Outlined BlankRadishSlicetalk21:31, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers RadishSlice that is very helpful. Would you happen to have the coordinates at the boundaries of the map? If not, then no worries at all. Thank you for your help -- Kezyfooty (talk) 22:11, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
