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 -Fnlayson (talk) 00:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023[edit]

Hello! I'm BilCat. Your recent edit(s) to the page Space Shuttle program appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 00:31, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, as you did at STS-1A. If you are interested to know how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements already in Wikipedia – and, if possible, correct them. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Continued disruption will be met with sanctions, which could include a block from editing. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 00:36, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm FlightTime. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Slippery When Wet, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Crush (Bon Jovi album). - FlightTime (open channel) 00:54, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at STS-27, 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. Hqb (talk) 06:36, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Heart (Heart album), you may be blocked from editing. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:15, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of STS-1A[edit]

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as STS-1A, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dates on music articles[edit]

Please supply reliable sources to all your date changes, if you keep changing/adding release dates and so on, you're going to be blocked from editing. More information about references can be found here: Help:Referencing for beginners. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 01:01, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm guessing you thought that Wikipedia was a place suitable for posting a family tree. It isn't for that, but if you want to make other contributions, please read Help:Introduction to Wikipedia to see what is and isn't appropriate and how to go about it.
