Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hi SalmonLegion! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Mallard several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Mallard, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Just to explain a bit more: in almost all cases, repeatedly making the same edit when others have asked you to stop has only one possible outcome – loss of editing privileges; it is hardly ever possible to make an edit 'stick' just by repeating it after others have reverted it. If you're really sure that your picture adds useful information that the page does not already contain, please start a discussion at Talk:Mallard, explaining the particular significance of that specific picture of a duck swimming. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:41, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Mother Teresa, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Wikipedia is not censored, and referenced content should not be removed because you don't like it. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 13:55, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
