Hello Calvinsky. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Sm8900, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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 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 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!

August 2020

Hello, I'm Synoman Barris. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically 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)

@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)

@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)

@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)
