To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload 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
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 File:OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png 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!

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Synoman Barris. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=975375380&diff=975495346 this edit] to :User talk:Wehwalt—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 Help desk. Thanks. Megan Barris (Lets talk📧) 20:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Megan Barris}} It was a message to someone else... And who are you to judge if it is constructive or not ? It isn't on the encyclopedia part, it's on the Wikipedia part. -- Calvinsky (talk) 20:52, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
::I've responded to it there but why are you asking about Irwin? Do you have an interest in working on it?--Wehwalt (talk) 21:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
:::{{Ping|Wehwalt}} No, it's just you had indicated you were going to work on it on Adopt an astronaut. Good evening. -- Calvinsky (talk) 22:41, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
::::I expect to do it eventually. I did Scott about two years ago and just finished with Worden. But if someone else wants to do it I won't stand in their way. Good evening to you.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
:::::{{Ping|Wehwalt}} No, you're not standing in anyone's way. It was just to know about your plans. And thanks for Worden and your incredible work ! -- Calvinsky (talk) 06:39, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
