Welcome

Hello Teenager16 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Instinct, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

• The five pillars of Wikipedia

• Help pages
• Tutorial

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Supercell121 (talk) 13:58, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Advise start slow

Estimates are that 25% of people join Wikipedia to write a brand new article. and 95% of those fail. So yes, bring enthusiasm, but start slow. I recommend you look at a topic you know well. But look at the article itself, the View history (which will show past edits) and Talk, which will show discussions/arguments among editors. And when you pick a section to work on - by clicking on edit - you will see how it looks as a working document. This gives you examples of how to add citations (the stuff between the < >).

If you would rather not stumble around in public, copy a section you would like to work on and paste it into your sandbox. That is your private place to practice. When you think it looks good, click on Save changes at the bottom to see how it looks in Sandbox. If satisfied, copy and paste into the article. Each time you make a change in an article you have an opportunity to describe what you did in the Edit summary box. This is good manners. Finally, in any Talk, sign your name by typing four of ~.
