There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Fight vandalism

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
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.

Your contributed article, CONTAINER ISO

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, CONTAINER ISO. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – International Organization for Standardization. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at International Organization for Standardization – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Vanamonde93 (talk) 21:05, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Stowage plan for container ships has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Stowage plan for container ships. Thanks! SwisterTwister talk 22:56, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SwisterTwister, I followed your directions in this regard, and added sources and books to read in this regard, Thanks again for your assistance.

Hello and welcome!

I see that despite everything, no one has bothered to give you a proper welcome. Shame on us! I have added a table with some very useful tips and things here at the top of your talk page. Please read through most of the pages it links to, this will make you more at home here. I am one of the editors who help "newbies" and I also happen to like nautical articles, so I have taken the liberty of fixing up your draft so that it is more like the start of a real article. It still need some proper references. Please take a look at Help:Referencing for beginners and User:Yunshui/References for beginners for this. Do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 00:02, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You also accidentally created a talk page in main space, unrelated to any page there. I have now moved that page so that it corresponds with your draft instead. w.carter-Talk 06:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stowage plan for container ships (April 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bradv was:

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Does this not duplicate some content already at Intermodal container? Could the encyclopedic bits from this article be added into one of the existing articles?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two problems: 1 - Wikipedia is not a valid source - WP:Wikilink other Wikipedia articles, don't use them as references. 2 You need to actually cite the sources that you've put under "Other sources". Merely listing them is no good, you cannot expect your readers to examine all those websites in full and then try to figure out exactly which parts relate to something in this page.

License tagging for File:Transport-1189216 960 720.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Transport-1189216 960 720.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:06, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tips about references

Hi again, I see that you have some difficulties with how to reference your draft properly. A ref should always point exactly to the page where the information is. Also, it's no good to leave just the link, you have to add things like title, who wrote it, when, etc. There are two very good help pages for you to learn this: Help:Referencing for beginners and User:Yunshui/References for beginners. One of them even has a video tutorial about how it's done. Please look at these and things will work out much better. Best, w.carter-Talk 08:17, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How to alert other editors

Here is some more useful info for you.

When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a small blue sign followed by a long yellow box at the top of your page (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in just the red sign notification on top of that user's page. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write {{ping|W.carter}} resulting in @W.carter: or [[User:W.carter|W.carter]] resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~~~~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. w.carter-Talk 08:17, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Cotton candy clouds.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Cotton candy clouds.jpg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You do need to put a tag on this to keep it from being deleted. If you want to release the file into the public domain, then you can add the tag {{PD-author}}. If you want to release it under a free license, you may tag it with {{cc-by-sa-4.0}}. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:39, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
