Welcome!
[edit]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:

- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial

- Naming conventions

- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
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 so.
- 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! — Diannaa (talk) 15:50, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello, Vanisherman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Barracks massacres of Acholi and Lango people under Idi Amin".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 04:30, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 18
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of anthropogenic disasters by death toll, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British. 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) 06:03, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
Copying content between articles
[edit]Hi Vanisherman. When you copy content between articles you need to include the original articles name in your edit summary, Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia gives details of why this must be done.
Your copying has also been causing some errors with references. Can I suggest turning on the errors for short form refs, as described here Category:Harv and Sfn template errors, and checking the reference section for error messages after you copy content.
If you have any questions about how to turn the error messages on, or what specific error messages mean please just ask.-- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 12:36, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
