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

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.

This is NOT how you move a page - don't you know where your move button i0s (under the "Move" tag). You lose the page history. Johnbod (talk) 05:49, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give The Duke and Duchess of Urbino a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Diptych of Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fuller explanation I was too lazy to give, Diannaa. You got a welcome message in 2020, so should have the button. Start a proper WP:RM process & I should support. Johnbod (talk) 12:54, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you Johnbod and Diannaa for straightening me out about moving pages. I have now initiated a move request via the talk page for The Duke and Duchess of Urbino. TedKinloch (talk) 19:27, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Aristos (publication) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Aristos (publication), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:Aristos (publication)
[edit] Hello, TedKinloch. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Aristos (publication), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 08:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Aristos (publication)
[edit]
Hello, TedKinloch. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Aristos".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 10:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
