To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, 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 could put a link to it on your user page.

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 IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's 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!

Proposed deletion of Ripple Island (Washington)

The article Ripple Island (Washington) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unremarkable uninhabited island; information would be more accessible if covered in the archipelago's article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to The Living Word Fellowship—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. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 18:08, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hi! Why do you think mentioning one of the most high profile members isn't salient? @I dream of horses:

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to The Living Word Fellowship. Thank you. I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 18:21, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That completely avoided answering my question. Are you saying the Anthony Cox wikipage isn't sufficient? Also, the facts of that case are not controversial. The legal proceedings are all public domain. @I dream of horses:

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
