Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, — SamX [talk · contribs] 04:29, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bare URLs

Thanks for citing a source to support the addition you made to Robert Aderholt. As you might be aware, verifiability is a core policy on Wikipedia and citing sources is especially important when writing about living people. However, you linked a bare URL when you cited your source. This isn't recommended because, in the event of link rot, it's more difficult to track down an archived version of a webpage linked from a bare URL. For a tutorial on how to properly format references on Wikipedia, see Help:Referencing for beginners. Although it's not mandatory, a lot of editors (myself included) use citation templates because they're easy to use and produce standardized, well-formatted citations. I'd be happy to answer any further questions you might have, but you'd probably receive a quicker response from more editors if you start a discussion at the Teahouse, which is a forum specifically designated for new editors to ask questions.
