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 {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

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!

Camila Batmanghelidjh

Hi, I saw you added 1 January 1963 as Camila's date of birth, because a lot of sources are saying she died on her birthday. She celebrated her birthday on 1 January but her birth was never registered so she didn't even know her own actual date of birth. See [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67868843 this article from the BBC] which confirms her date of birth is unknown. dummelaksen (talk • contribs) 02:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

:Fair enough - that wasn't made clear in a lot of the articles about her death. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 08:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Harry the house

Hi,

The IP user you reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1945_United_Kingdom_general_election&diff=1197497179&oldid=1193060247 here] is a very prolific blocked editor, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Harry_the_house/Archive "Harry the house"]. Could you keep an eye out for his work? He tends to edit pages on British politics and television, and has a fondness for changing "after" to "following", as well as adding "piped" forms to random links and overlinking the names of Labour politicians. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/51.6.35.255 This] was Harry, and so was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/148.252.132.117 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.17.137.25 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.171.233.187 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/185.69.145.56 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.8.92.148 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.131.169.171 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/217.163.2.171 this], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/81.105.226.43 this], and most of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/82.132.187.0/22 these], and many, many more.

The other thing is that Wikipedia actually prefers redirects to piped links. Please have a look at MOS:LINK, WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:NOPIPE.

:OK, thanks - I mistakenly thought that piped links were preferred. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 12:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

::It's a really common misperception, but I'm doing my best to spread the word. If you'd like a good practical example of the advantages of redirection, see the example of Henry VIII here. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 12:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

1988 POTUS election

I mean nobody managed to inherit presidency from a party mate since 1988. Clinton grabbed from GOP in 92, Bush 43 took from DEM in 2000, Obama won from GOP in 08, Trump takes twice from DEM, Biden got once from GOP. Em 88 (talk) 13:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

:OK, I see what you mean now - thanks for clarifying. Mark and inwardly digest (talk) 14:10, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up

Hi! Thanks for reverting all the edits by this IP vandal. It's a WP:SOCKPUPPET of Declan the cool guy.

Today, the vandal also used another IP, which can be found by adding "/64" at the end of the IP: Special:Contributions/2600:4808:88D0:4300:B9EF:3FD8:72ED:6FE9/64. I reverted the edits by that other IP.

I also reported the IP range at WP:AIV. It had been blocked a few days ago, but the vandal came back soon after the block expired. Hopefully, an admin will block it for longer this time.

Usually the admin who blocks an IP vandal also rolls back all its edits. Admins can do that with a few clicks, while normal users like us have to revert every single edit. So usually I don't bother with reverting all these edits and just wait for the admin to do it. :-) — Chrisahn (talk) 14:39, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Silly me. I thought 2024 was referring to calendar year. I probably just misread for the "Until Kamala Harris in 2024" part thinking it said something else Servite et contribuere (talk) 13:48, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
