Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Getting Started

Tutorial
Learn everything you need to know to get started.

Introduction to contributing

The Teahouse
Ask questions and get help from experienced editors.

The Task Center
Learn what Wikipedians do and discover how to help.

Tips
  • Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
  • It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
  • If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
  • Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
  • When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
  • If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
  • Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, sawyer / talk 03:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Task!!

[edit]

Hi @Cellina Starfire, I hope you are doing fine in this new year. I found you on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/List of participants and now I am here to request you to take part in this small task if you are interested in any way. The task here is to put in the template by replacing the exsting format, like I did it here: here. Thank you. Keep contributing!! 456legendtalk 10:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adopt

[edit]

Hello Cellina Starfire, I saw the seeking adoption tag on your page. Was the request specifically for improving the Andrea Bocelli article, or are you looking for guidance on other areas of Wikipedia too? Jay 💬 07:09, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love help with both. Learning more about Wikipedia in general will help me improve the Andrea Bocelli article, and it can help me in the future, too! (School has been taking my time lately, so I haven't edited much currently... I would love to get back to it sometime, though!) > Cellina Starfire: talk? 17:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As you are already into typo correction and copyediting, going through the articles from Category:Wikipedia pages needing cleanup can help you get into other aspects of article writing. The target is to fix the problem in the article for which it is tagged, and then remove the tag, so it doesn't show up as problematic any more. The same editor may not be able to fix all problems, but may do what they are comfortable with. For reference, WP:CLEANUPTAG has a list that articles are tagged with.

Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]
Welcome Cellina Starfire!
Hello Cellina Starfire. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Sm8900, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
 Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't commit vandalism
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
 or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
 or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
  Perform maintenance tasks
            
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates
  Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
  Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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

Hey there @Cellina Starfire, would you still like to be adopted? I'd love to help you out! Please reply with a ping (@Mseingth2133444) if yes. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 00:17, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mseingth2133444 I would still like to be adopted, yes! I've been random article patrolling lately, just trying to get used to editing and to learn by doing. I hope to reach the point where I can improve articles to featured level, and having an experienced editor to help me learn how to do that would be ideal.

Information icon Hello, I'm CanonNi. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Violin Concerto in A minor (Bach)—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 03:30, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That contribution was completely legitimate - the man who analyzed the piece had the last name "Butt". I reverted a past edit because they assumed the same thing as you. > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 03:33, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @CanonNi to ensure you see this so I can revert safely. This one was a vandalism false alarm. > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 03:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that, please revert then. It was my mistake, I saw a edit replacing "But some" with "Butt" and reverted. Sorry! If you wish, you can remove the warning. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 03:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I totally understand the mistake - thanks! > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 03:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA mentorship

[edit]

Hi Tesseractic! I noticed you posted a request for a GA mentor, and I can answer that! I mostly have experience with video game-related articles but have also reviewed biographies. Would you like to pick a good article nominee to get experience with or would you like me to put together a list of some that might be good to start with?

P.S. I'm also always available on the Wikimedia Discord under the same name ~Adam (talk · contribs) 22:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A list of GANs that I could review would be nice. I'll make sure to message you here or on Discord if I have any questions! Thanks, > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 16:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I have a shortlist of articles I picked from the GAN list. Before reviewing, if you haven't already, familiarize yourself with the GA criteria and the reviewing instructions. One of my favorite essays on Wikipedia is "What the Good article criteria are not", which I also recommend reading -- it gives some pointers on how to interpret the GA criteria and warns against common pitfalls (especially being overly strict in a review); of course, it's just an essay.
All that said, I chose some articles from the Music and Video games sections which you indicated are areas you edit in/are interested in. There is only one nominated chemistry article, and I also chose not to list any science articles, since these have additional considerations to review, primarily the use of technical language and jargon, and how the article reads to a broad audience. Music and video games shouldn't really have this problem (to the same extent)! I gave some ideas of why I chose certain articles and some possible cons to each. In general, I avoided inexperienced nominators, very new nominations, and articles that were too long (in my opinion). Ideal articles for your first couple reviews are already well-written and relatively short, with not many sources to check.
Music
  • Cecelia Hall (mezzo-soprano)
    • Experienced nominator who seems responsive during reviews (although their first language is not English), relatively short prose, sources look like they're on the web, no image copyright to check
    • Medium number of sources to check, requires special attention for BLP, somewhat inconvenient sectioning,
  • Mai Fujisawa
    • Incredibly short article (one of the shortest noms I've seen), nominator is experienced and active in peer reviews (and responsive in previous GAs),
    • Would not recommend because it's so short that it won't be a great learning experience, and there are some considerations like broadness that will stand out more as well. Maybe pick up another short nomination in addition to this if you can (just picking one at random from the Songs section, maybe Pero Dile or Follow Me (Zoey 101))
Video games
  • Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome
    • Medium-short article, only 42 citations, nominator has many GAs and reviews in this topic area, at a glance appears like a reasonably high-quality article, it follows a very standard article layout for video games
  • Fallout Online
    • Very few sources to check (24) and almost all are on the web, prose looks high quality at a glance, nominator has a history of excellent articles and seems responsive during reviews
    • Medium length of prose (not bad)
Feel free to open a review for one of these and let me know, or ask me if you have any questions first. You can also just ignore these and pick any open nominee on the list, but keep in mind the reasons I picked these (I don't think there was any Italian music in there, but I could have missed one!) . I can always answer questions or provide a second opinion during the review process as well.
P.S. I almost forgot! GANReviewTool is an incredibly helpful script to automate this process and I would highly suggest installing it! Review the passing instructions to make sure you know what steps the script takes on your behalf. ~Adam (talk · contribs) 22:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cecelia Hall looks like a good article to review! I've installed GANReviewTool and I'll definitely be reading that essay!
Thanks so much for the recommendations - I will look into the review tomorrow, most likely. > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 00:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

[edit]

You must be have been assigned to me recently. I do apologize for my abrupt resignation as a mentor. I will always answer any questions you may have about Wikipedia but I feel as though I can not encourage editing the way I wish I could anymore. I can not throw my support behind this encyclopedia so long as it allows racial bias to guide its policies. There are phenomenal people here that I have grown to love and care for greatly. I will continue to do that. Good luck to you and I wish you all the best. Thank you for editing. --ARoseWolf 18:31, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you've had that experience, but I understand it. I've been getting burnt out lately (with other things), but I hope to have the energy to edit again soon.

An Unexpected Greeting

[edit]

It would seem you are the first to edit my own user page. I tip my hat to you for catching the typo. If you have interests in film articles, we shall talk. Paleface Jack (talk) 04:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a wonder where executive dysfunction can take someone - it seems that today, it was your user page!
Sadly, I don't have much interest in film articles... music and science articles are more my thing, though my edits are only at surface level of late. I do hope to gain the time and experience to edit more substantially... one of these days, when college isn't taking up all of my precious focus. > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 04:52, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
understandable. I am here if you need to talk or find something interesting. Paleface Jack (talk) 15:47, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Considering you want more experiance, I have some ideas to help you with that.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:21, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What are you thinking? I'm certainly interested. > Tesseractic: talk? ✎ 20:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
