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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

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.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Please help me with... I want to translate articles from Japanese to English. I tried doing it with the Special Content Translation feature but it says I can't because I'm too new to Wikipedia. How can I build up the experience requirements to be able to start adding the English translations?

Thank you. Sayjay1995 (talk) 02:06, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Sayjay[reply]

You can make translations the old-fashioned way. Open a user-space draft and translate away. Include an attribution back to the original article. You may find that ja-wiki articles need additional references to meet en-wiki standards, and it would be nice if you provided English translations of at least the titles of sources that are in Japanese using the trans-title= parameter. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:00, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I'll try that.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jomo Karuta (May 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gusfriend was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Karuta. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

At least there should be mention of Jomo Katuta on the Karuta page and thought should be given to merging this to that page. In fact I would consider putting all of this information on that page and then getting consensus for splitting things off from there.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jomo Karuta and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jomo Karuta, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Gusfriend (talk) 05:42, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. Does that mean the Japanese version of the page also needs to be merged into the regular Karuta page as well?

Proposed deletion of Konnyaku Park

The article Konnyaku Park has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi, could you clarify which portions were considered promotional? It follows the Japanese page's original text and merely outlines what activities there are to do on-site. How could it be edited to make read more neutral? Thank you. Sayjay1995 (talk) 01:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
