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.

"Adding and removing spaces"
[edit]Please stop making edits just to tweak the whitespace in articles. It doesn't really provide any benefit to the reader in and of itself, and it floods people's watchlists. It's fine if you're doing other stuff to the article, but on its own it's not necessary. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- They're still doing this, even though it doesn't change the display of the page at all.
- They also keep making changes to Wikipedia:Backlog - Wikipedia which I don't understand, but they might be constructive edits. 71.11.5.2 (talk) 16:18, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Still doing it. Mccapra (talk) 08:51, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2022 (UTC)- I believe they are still doing this, just under an IP now. User talk:146.113.128.115
- You can see here that MauriceHoward was doing all the edits to this page, and now it is just this IP.
- They've started to move category tags around while doing their white space changes so it looks less obvious. 71.11.5.2 (talk) 16:17, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
