Information icon Hello, I'm Barek. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Cola, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 01:50, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Preview

[edit]

Hi, I see that you've submitted a lot of changes which you have subsequently undone. It's much more helpful for other editors if you don't clutter up pages' edit history with changes like this. In the future, please use your sandbox (link at top right) to experiment, and please get in the habit of using the Preview function before submitting any changes. I'll attach an automated message below about that. If I can help with anything, just let me know. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 19:25, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 19:25, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An extended welcome

[edit]

Hi Editor Sebastian. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:01, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Editor Sebastian. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, User:Editor Sebastian/sandbox.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89(T·C) 00:43, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
