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.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Thank you!

I appreciated your supportive comment at ANI – I wasn't quite sure if I was overreacting to an empty threat which had already been reverted, and it was good to get some validation that my reaction wasn't over the top. bonadea contributions talk 09:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Having also been on the receiving end of a death threat on WP (I mean, come on...), I know how unpleasant it can be, but I also knew an administrator would quickly take care of it. Should there be a similar occurrence in the future, please do not hesitate to contact WP Trust & Safety via e-mail so as to avoid publicizing something like that on a high-profile forum.

Strictly Come Dancing Average charts

[edit]

Hi, is there any reason why you only removed the average chart for the 2024 series and yet they are still there for the other previous series? MSalmon (talk) 16:48, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They should be removed from all seasons. Bgsu98 (Talk) 17:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to ISU Junior Grand Prix in Switzerland. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 07:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Skate America/WP:DE

[edit]

Hello. A) It wasn't disruptive. B) Just mentioning WP:DE in the edit summary without explaining why is not good enough. I matched the table to previous events/articles, I did not see a discussion about a new format, and you removed reliable sources. - JuneGloom07 Talk 19:47, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia prefers secondary sources, which ISU results are not and SS results are. Additionally, why on earth would you revert to a previous format which requires additional effort to maintain? If five columns call for the text to be centered and two call for the text to be left-justified, then you set the table default to center and manually set the other two cells to left.

Need you help

[edit]

Information icon Hello there, if you have time, can you help me edit ice dancer Michael Parsons and Caroline Green detailed results. I've already add some information. If you can help me it will be more better. Thanks. Stevencocoboy (talk) 09:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to update those when I have a chance. Thank you for your effort in keeping these skaters' articles updated. The only thing I would ask is that you use the new style tables that we developed a while back. The older style tables do not meet Wikipedia's MOS requirements and will have to eventually be replaced. Adding old-style tables now just increases the workload. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:53, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree and I will using new style tables. I think it was perfect and easily to edit. Thanks. Stevencocoboy (talk) 04:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
