To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

June 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

medanomaly.com[edit]

I notice that many of your edits seem to be substanceless additions of references to medanomaly.com, a website that appears dubiously reliable to me. Can you explain your connection to them, please? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 08:17, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Writing Wikitext[edit]

Hello, in many of your recent edits (Special:Diff/1199824015, Special:Diff/1199825001) you are not entering wikilinks correctly. Please review the above Welcome message on your talk page. You do not ever enter the full URL to link to another article inside Wikipedia.

Please go back to your recent changes and fix the malformed wikilinks, else they'll just be reverted. Kimen8 (talk) 11:28, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation[edit]

I noticed you have been working on some health-related subjects, so I wanted to invite you to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're welcome to join us if it's a subject area that interests you. It's a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Feel free to put the group's page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time.
