There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

  Perform maintenance tasks
           
  Become a member of a project that interests you

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!

March 2021[edit]

Information icon Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks!

January 2022[edit]

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Heap (comics), did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

"Superhero" on MCU articles[edit]

Hello, I have reverted your edits to the MCU articles in which you changed "fictional character" to "superhero". Using the term "superhero/heroine" across all MCU articles will create a uniformity problem, as some "superheroes" have also been in antagonistic/antiheroic roles such as Tony Stark, Clint Barton, and Wanda Maximoff to name a few. I propose we discuss this before changing it across all MCU character articles. Thank you. Bloodyboppa (talk) 17:15, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Calling them superheroes doesn't create a uniformity problem; the term doesn't inherently contradict those roles. Antiheroes can still be superheroes, given how "superhero" just refers to any hero, conventional or not, who possesses superpowers; antisuperheroes are a thing. Neither does being an antagonist contradict the label, given how "hero" isn't synonymous with protagonist and "villain" isn't synonymous with "antagonist." "Hero Antagonist" and "Villain Protagonist" are recognized character archetypes. All the characters I marked as superheroes are objectively that type of stock character despite some also being antagonistic/antiheroic.

Anne Frank and Me[edit]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that I have removed the maintenance tag you applied to Anne Frank and Me. Per WP:NOVELPLOT, a novel's plot summary should be between 400 and 700 words. At 461 words, this plot summary is an adequate length. Long, detailed plot summaries are discouraged on Wikipedia for reasons of copyright.

I believe I erroneously placed the template there when I meant to go to another page. Apologies. IdiosyncraticLawyer (talk) 18:22, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
