Hello, Aiden1700's. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Paine Ellsworth, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't commit vandalism
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. 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.

Sincerely, Happy holidays! Paine  20:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)Reply

No test edits please

  Hello, I'm DVdm. An edit that you recently made to Extrasensory perception and Psychic reading seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! - DVdm (talk) 23:45, 14 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Psychic reading, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 16:34, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Certainly, I’ll leave those pages alone. Sorry for responding so late. Aiden1700's (talk) 03:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

No problem. Better late than never. Thx. - DVdm (talk) 13:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  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 Simulated reality in fiction, 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. Your entries weren't reflected in the main article, please read Simulated reality first before adding to this See Also list. Have a look at MOS:SEEALSO as you may find it helpful. Sciencefish (talk) 14:35, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Note: you did the same with this edit. Before you add an entry to the list, carefully verify whether the article isn't already mentioned and/or wikilinked in the article. - DVdm (talk) 20:40, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Field (physics), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Scalar and Vector. 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) 09:11, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your feedback. I honestly do not remember making this edit, but I will continue to leave those pages alone. Aiden1700's (talk) 08:18, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

 Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to the plot summary of Werewolf by Night (TV special) have been removed because they added a significant amount of unnecessary detail. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please refrain from making changes to plot summaries/synopses that conflict with the plot summary edit guides, as you did at Werewolf by Night (TV special). You may wish to review the specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. Excessive detail and high word counts should be avoided. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

I apologize for the late reply. I too agree that my wording was excessive and will attempt to avoid doing so going forward. Aiden1700's (talk) 08:16, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
