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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Corn & Peg, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 00:53, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Overkill (Men at Work song), have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. SummerPhDv2.0 17:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Santa Monica High School, you may be blocked from editing. TJRC (talk) 17:40, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Desert Hills High School (Arizona). ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:07, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:08, 15 September 2020 (UTC)"Wikipedia's hallmark is its user-generated, consensus-based content. Most article updates are uncontroversial, so discussion isn't needed. In cases of disagreements amongst editors, though, there is no choice but to communicate with others. ... If you are changing content (and not simply reverting vandalism) and someone reverts you, you should start a discussion on the talk page if you want to restore your change, following our Bold, Revert, Discuss (BRD) cycle. ... If you are getting multiple complaints on your talk page or on an article talk page about your editing, you are expected to either stop the action that is causing the complaints, or discuss it with the community of editors at the appropriate venue. This could be a formal noticeboard, an article talk page, or on your talk page. Ignoring the complaints is not an option and trying to 'fly under the radar' may eventually result in a block." --Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:14, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Corn & Peg, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magitroopa (talk) 21:44, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Jxdn, you may be blocked from editing.

Hello. Your recent edit to Geneva High School (New York) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Hello. Your recent edit to Colleyville Heritage High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. You added a band rather than an individual to the list of notable alumni. Bands are not alumni so I reverted your edit. Notable band members who are alumni could be added to the list.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited DigiTour Media, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Paul Zimmer, Jim Chapman and Aaron Carpenter. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

. —ScottyWong— 02:41, 11 June 2021 (UTC) Please do not add or change content, as you did at PAW Patrol: The Movie, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. This has been the third time you have added such unsourced information to the same article, and despite an editor removing content added by you, you continued added such material. The next time you add such information, add a reliable source supporting it. FloorMadeOuttaFloor (Leave me a message•Changes I have made) 15:21, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
An automated process has detected that when you recently edited PAW Patrol: The Movie, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kim Roberts.
