Hello, RhymeWrens, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.


Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Thank you.

Hello. Thank you so much for your kind gesture of the barnstar. My first one! It made me smile and made my night. Iโ€™m very glad to see other concerned, skeptical Wikipedians and I very much appreciate your thoughtful recognition. โ† ๐‹๐ž๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ง๐๐ž๐๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง 03:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Amorality, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Humanity. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ โ€ข Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Ways to improve Tuckamore Youth Treatment Centre

[edit]

Hello, RhymeWrens,

Thank you for creating Tuckamore Youth Treatment Centre.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Both of the references are from the heal services or government themselves, and are routine listings of services. It would be really helpful to have additional reference from independent reliable sources that discuss the centre.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

{{Re|Klbrain}}
Hi Klbrain and thanks for your suggestions, they helped me understand Wikipedia's notability policies as a beginner editor. I had initially felt that an article for this would be "notable" or important because it is one of the only mental health-focused treatment centres in Newfoundland and Labrador, but I clearly realize now what is required from Wikipedia's notability standards.
I have added citations to news articles that discuss the centre, as well as to an excerpt of a book which lists the available mental health and addictions rehabilitation facilities in Newfoundland and Labrador. I do hope, from my beginner understanding of the standards for sources, that these are considered reliable and independent secondary sources. Please check these new changes at your convenience and let me know if/when it is okay to remove the tag, thanks.

GA reviewing

[edit]

Hi there, I noticed your GAR for Maia arson crimew. It looks like you've got a pretty good handle on the GA criteria. (It's hardly your fault you're not familiar with the ancient articles GAR is intended for triaging.) If you're interested in doing some reviews of your own, there's a newbie-focused backlog drive going on next month: Wikipedia:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/July 2024. We'd love to have you! -- asilvering (talk) 01:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely be participating in the drive, I had no idea that was going on and I'm actually quite interested in GA reviewing and helping with getting articles assessed so thanks for letting me know. RhymeWrens (talk) 03:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipediaโ€™s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Information icon You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics.
