The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Hi Inept Coffee Sky,

Thanks for your recent edits to add links at the Fields Medal article. I had a couple suggestions related to them for the future: first, there is no reason to use a "piped link" (like [[Faltings's theorem|Mordell Conjecture]]) in order to avoid a redirect. In fact, per the the manual of style, it is preferred not to do so. Also, for plurals one can write something like [[example]]s, which produces examples. Finally, please be careful cleaning up punctuation and spelling inside quotes: your edit changed some spellings and punctuation (euclidian, delta-function) that was part of a direct quotation.

All the best, JBL (talk) 00:34, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
