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

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.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, your first edits were considered spam and have been reverted. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing.

However, if you are serious about contributing to Wikipedia, you are still welcome to visit the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have. Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia. As such, the Wikipedia community hopes that you will not engage in further disruptive behavior, but will instead decide to become a contributing Wikipedian. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kira Walkenhorst. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.
