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.

[edit]I am sure you are aware WP:BADREVERT is merely an essay, and not site policy. It's not an essay I find particularly helpful or enlightening. It's not helpful to privilege additions merely because they are additions, as opposed to reversions, in my view. What is a site guideline is MOS:OXFORD: serial commas are not mandatory, and they're often pointless or even malignant. Please keep in mind that reverts are rarely mindless, even if you deem them superfluous. That's what actual discussion helps with, hence my message. Remsense ‥ 论 09:05, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- When reading through the article I found the lack of an Oxford comma impacted readability; I improved the article in good faith. Your unwillingness to reflect on your reverts suggests a mindlessness that you may be unaware of, based on your talk page.
- I rarely edit, my contributions are carefully considered when they do occur and they should be considered with the gravity inherent to them. But this site appears to have grown hostile and the rules have become arbitrarily applied. I will withdraw my talents. SuspiciousMustacheMan (talk) 09:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
