Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, UTLisobel, and welcome to Wikipedia!

An edit that you recently made to Bloomsbury Group seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Introduction and Getting started
Contributing to Wikipedia
The five pillars of Wikipedia
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article
Simplified Manual of Style
Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Also, please do not add Template:Commons category to articles when there is no such commons category. For example this edit added a link to a category on Commons that does not exist. - Aoidh (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have gone through and partially or fully reverted most of your edits because of this issue. Edits like this are especially problematic because neither one of the templates you added actually go to a working category or page. Please do not add the Commons category or Archival records templates without first ensuring that the templates you add actually go to a working page, and that the person described in the article is the same one in the category you're linking to (see here and here for example). - Aoidh (talk) 20:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
