Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to .
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in New England, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ◢ Ganbaruby! (Say hi!) 15:21, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Belleville, Paris, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Belleville (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 13:03, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Charles de Gaulle, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please read WP:SURNAME, according to which "After the initial mention, a person should generally be referred to by surname only". Favonian (talk) 18:55, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style, as you did at Jacques Chirac. Ttwaring (talk) 22:54, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

. Favonian (talk) 10:17, 13 April 2020 (UTC)Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Toulouse, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.
Example edits: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] - Please do not press "save" for every individual word you change. Such changes can be made together, rather than adding lots of tiny changes to the revision history. Ttwaring (talk) 13:46, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Again, please use the preview button. You made almost 20 edits to Jean Calas and changed almost nothing. Kleuske (talk) 12:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
You were trying to remove the following sentence "Calas was also sentenced to be tortured after being judged and found guilty" and it took you 13 edits to accomplish this: [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]. Please practice editing in the sandbox before you make any more changes to Wikipedia articles. Ttwaring (talk) 22:01, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
