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.

Interlocutor (linguistics) and manually reverting[edit]
Hello, Vaughjos. You recently attempted to revert Interlocutor (linguistics) by (it appears to me) copying and pasting the comparison mark-up. That has the unfortunate effect of adding a lot of material that is neither article next nor Wiki markup. A better way to copy and paste is to find the version you want in the article history, and copy that. This is described at Help:Reverting#Manual reverting. Alternately, you could use WP:Twinkle, but that requires you to change your preferences, and is only available to autoconfirmed users.
I have undone that manual revert. I then intended to re-add the potentially source-able bits from the page history. Unfortunately, very little of what was in that history was of much value, since it seemed to confuse 'interlocutor' with 'vocative' (as I suggested at Talk:Interlocutor (linguistics) in 2013). Have a look at the current state of the page, and please add whatever you think is missing. Be aware, though, that reliable sources are necessary for most information, and un-sourced and unsupportable claims are liable to be removed.
