Chevalier d'Éon; and Welcome back

[edit]

Hello, Rion9009, I'm Mathglot. Welcome back, after your decade-long break. I'm going to drop another canned welcome message below, which has tons of links you can browse at your leisure, to bring you back up to speed. But first, a comment about sourcing and verifiability:

Back in 2008, Wikipedia was much more lax about sourcing and footnotes than it is now. I urge you to start out by reading the Verifiability policy, and how to use citations to reliable sources to document your work. Note that the lead portion of an article is a summary of the body, and as long as the body is properly sourced, the lead does not need to duplicate the same sources as in the body of the article.

Your five revisions to Chevalier d'Éon were not supported by citations, so I've removed them. You're welcome to try to find reliable sources for your assertions, and if they are the majority view, you can redo your edit, replacing the existing text with your new content, as long as you add the proper citations for it. Please see Help:Footnotes if needed.

Here's the "welcome bank" panel I promised you:

Welcome Rion9009!

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!
