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

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 userpage.

YethuIsMyName, you are invited to the Teahouse!

About your sandbox

[edit]

Some of the content of your sandbox could be incorporated into the existing article about the Intsika Yethu Local Municipality. Just be careful when you edit that page that you do not remove or over-write the existing content. If you need help with the process you are welcome to ask for assistance at the Teahouse.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Norvalspont, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages British and Riverbank (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:22, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Etzedek24. Thank you for your feedback. I've added a comment here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/YUVA (Youth United in Voluntary Action) Thanks, YethuIsMyName

———

Hello, YethuIsMyName,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether YUVA (Youth United in Voluntary Action) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/YUVA (Youth United in Voluntary Action) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 14:24, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in study

[edit]

Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, I am working with Wikimedia’s Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 20:24, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
