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, Devoke water 19:38, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Wikipedia

Please don't change your talk page post after it has already been responded to, Meters (talk) 19:39, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know what it is you’re talking about but I may as well change it depending on what it is about … (as in my own “username” talk page post. 🙂 Craig Lungren (talk) 20:33, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You changed your post on Talk:Wikipedia‎ after I had already replied to it. The link to the talk page is in the header to this thread, and the edit in question was the last edit you had made to that page. What didn't you understand?. Per WP:TALK#REVISE it was inappropriate for you to change it that way. Meters (talk) 22:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No matter what it says in that link, I’m telling you there is nothing wrong with my latest edit (especially as it was made after you responded to it), and really that doesn’t mean my edits are “inappropriate”, even if I ignored what it states (according to what you’re getting at). All that matters when editing my own posts is making sure that I’m not using foul language, or I’m only keeping focused on the current topic. Anyway, thanks for the info and I did look at the link by now.

All I can think about to say now is: I love you and I know that you are more of a Wikipedia Pro Editor than I am. Congratulations to you! Craig Lungren (talk) 01:17, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As part of having a good Wikipedia Community, I want to ask you: What wants to cause you to use the word “inappropriate” for my latest edit, when my post was not having to do with “voting for a specific person”, not using swear words like “fuck”, bad name calling or editing someone else’s comments rather than my own?

If it has to do with the link that you sent, then what should make my edit become your problem, even though I may have ignored what it says about commenting, on TALK#REVISE?

Can you please explain? Craig Lungren (talk) 17:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, All that matters when editing my own posts is making sure that I’m not using foul language, or I’m only keeping focused on the current topic. is not correct. You have been pointed to WP:TALK#REVISE more than once. You claim you have read it. I've explained the problem, and told you to drop this. User:GSK has told you to drop this. User:Metropolitan90 has explained the problem to you at length. Per TALK#REVISE: "if anyone has already replied to or quoted your original comment, changing your comment may deprive any replies of their original context, and this should be avoided." Just don't do it.

Don't quibble about the use of the word "inappropriate." Don't ask for more clarifications. Don't say that you have not done anything wrong. Don't characterize other editor's attempts to discuss this with you as "silly" or "nonsense". It does not matter if you think that Editing my own comments/posts is obviously normal anywhere on social media At this point it does not matter if you don't understand or don't agree. Read WP:DROPTHESTICK and drop this. Meters (talk) 19:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I’m correct as I don’t see any problem with it. I’m not quibbling about the use of the word “inappropriate”. It just was not inappropriate. Your 2nd paragraph is non-sense. It does matter how everyone responds to my posts and I’m not thinking that Editing my own comments/posts is obviously normal anywhere on social media, but I’M KNOWING THAT it is normal.

Don’t just say “you have explained the problem” because it wasn’t a good explanation. Plus, I have read WP:TALK#REVERSE at some point after you have sent it on June 6 at 22:05 here and before I replied to you with my next comment. Lastly, you can tell me “ Read WP:DROPTHESTICK” but don’t ever tell me “and drop this”, because I will not drop it. At this point and every point: It does matter if I don’t understand the reason to both GSK’s and Your problem having to do with my own comment editing.

At this point, you better be careful in how you respond to me anywhere on Wikipedia. Craig Lungren (talk) 21:33, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Lungren, editors who are unable to walk away from a discussion where they've become disruptive are blocked. At this point, you have repeatedly noted that you have no intention of "dropping it". If that's the case, you will likely be blocked, so please find something to do that improves encyclopedic content as opposed to wasting everyone's time for your own self-amusement.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
