Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:The Little Rascals (film). It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to being blocked from editing. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. 100.8.243.246 (talk) 19:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was only sharing my experience about the time I had to dress up as a girl, I know you that you are probably having a good laugh about that, it was very uncomfortable having to wear a pink lycra leotard, tights and a pink tutu.

I would like to have my article posted without it being deleted everytime I post it. I understand it is a personal experience, but I only posted it as I had the same experience as Spanky and Alfalfa had. Oliver Savell (talk) 21:12, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Try posting on twitter or reddit. Your personal experience is not going to be published on wikipedia. Schazjmd (talk) 21:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure that you are having a good laugh at my experience of me being dressed as a ballerina. All of my friends still laugh at me. I will never wear girls clothes again or elasticated knickers. Oliver Savell (talk) 21:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is no laughing matter, especially since you don't have any sufficient evidence as to your "experience". 100.8.243.246 (talk) 00:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot provide evidence, I dont have any photographs of me wearing the ballet costume. but what I have said is true, I wouldn't make it up, but in future I won't be posting anything personal about myself on the talk page. I apologise for the disruption caused, Oliver Savell (talk) 11:17, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A say-so is not evidence. And you should have considered an apology before you decided to edit disruptively. 100.8.243.246 (talk) 03:56, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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!

Autobiography

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or write things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing here, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Oliver Savell,

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with referenced articles about notable subjects. It's not a platform for sharing about your own life. That's true for all editors, not just you. I suggest you create your own personal blog or use social media. But the content you wanted to write about is not appropriate for Wikipedia.

If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, please bring them to the Teahouse where experienced editors can offer you advice and support. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:11, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will not post any more information about myself on the talk page, I didnt think it would cause a problem. It will not happen again. Oliver Savell (talk) 10:27, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock

My account has been blocked, I recently have been posting my experience of the time I had to dress up as a girl and do a ballet rehearsal. I was posting my experience on The Little Rascals 1994 talk page, I have learnt my lesson and I realise that personal information about myself is not relevant to the page and I won't be posting it again, I apologise for the disruption caused and I know that I have embarrassed myself by telling everyone that I was dressed up as a girl. Can I please have my account unblocked, in future I will only post information that is relevant to the discussion.

Thanks

It's too late. You should have considered leniency before you decided to post those "experiences". 100.8.243.246 (talk) 18:45, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
