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.

Some stylistic guidelines
A couple of hints: (1) Please don't ever use ampersands unless they are part of a trademark or a company's legal name. Wikipedia has a style manual that discourages use of "&" as a casual substitute for "and", MOS:AMP (and as a professional in my fifties I will tell you personally that I view it as the height of carelessness ever to use an ampersand unless, again, it is part of a trademark or legal name; I would not hire someone who did this in their c.v.. "And" takes two more keystrokes.) (2) Please don't use contractions in article text. See MOS:CONTRACTION. It is next to impossible to keep them out of relatively non-academic articles, like TV plot summaries, but they are too informal for this register of discourse. Thanks for your attention. -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  22:34, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

September 2023
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 01:56, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
