Welcome to Wikipedia!
Welcome DYHistory-1! Hello DYHistory-1. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm 2NumForIce, your mentor here on Wikipedia, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload 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  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: The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png 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.

Hello DYHistory-1. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Vistula–Oder offensive, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:DYHistory-1. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Denniss (talk) 00:00, 1 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have added the mandatory disclosure to my user page. DYHistory-1 (talk) 16:14, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

You uploaded a book cover to commons File:The First Hellcat Ace.jpg, but it is a copyrighted work. I have restored the non-free image and will look to nominate the one you have uploaded for deletion. You uploaded it as your "own work" but it is a copyrighted work. Lightburst (talk) 03:41, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
