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! Cheers, Grayfell (talk) 23:00, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced

Stop adding unsourced content. There must be sourced content in the article to back up the category. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 17:18, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed a recent edit you made does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! GA-RT-22 (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Diffused categories

Hello.

Please see WP:DIFFUSE. With some exceptions, we generally don't include people in both a category and it's subcategories, as this would be redundant.

For example, Ethan Nordean is included in Category:People criminally charged for acts during the January 6 United States Capitol attack. This is a subcategory of Category:Protesters in or near the January 6 United States Capitol attack. By default, everyone in the 'People criminally charged...' category is already in the 'Protestors in or near...' category, so adding him to this category a second time will only make these categories harder to navigate, and will not tell readers any new information. Does that make sense?

Both of these categories also explain this.
