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

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!

album infoboxes

[edit]

The formatting guidelines (which I helped to create) are listed at Template:Infobox album read, in part,

For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of the class=hlist is preferred as it offers a benefit to users of screen readers (see Wikipedia:Accessibility for more information on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). To use it, format the items as a normal bulleted list; don't use other list templates or <br/>.

The list formatting was added a few years ago for reasons of accessibility, they are not required. Comma-separated lists are not formatted incorrectly. Do not change existing lists to use them unless there are more than three items.

As for genres, please read WP:GWAR. I saw one edit where you removed genres because they were not referenced and two others where you added genres that were not referenced. That seems inconsistent and odd. Please be consistent and be sure to source genres, ideally in a style section in the article. Welcome again and thanks for helping.

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to No Stranger (album), did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Did you have the chance to see that it was not the incorrect format. Please stop claiming it is. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:29, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No references provided for genres. Please supply them. Also take note that your formatting is inconsistent with other articles. RaquelCarlit (talk) 06:27, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Also, please stop changing the infobox formatting unnecessarily. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:25, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be both confused and a friend of the other editor. Is a WP:SPI in order? Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:58, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure whom you are referring to. However please do. As I see on your page you have a history of edit wars. You are a bully and trying to force your own preferences on people. And destroy their work RaquelCarlit (talk) 18:07, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I do, but I've been around for a long while. You showed up just as my disagreement with the other editor started and you targeted the pages he's interested in. That is suspicious. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
