Additional tips...


 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Derckvan, good luck, and have fun.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 03:54, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * If that was you editing Ulam spiral, you did it without being logged in. Some people wish that their username and IP address not be connected. The only way this protection works is if you always log in before making an edit.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 03:58, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Ulam spiral
I have removed a link you added to the Ulam spiral article. Please have a look at some policy pages explaining why: No original research and Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. Will Orrick (talk) 06:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I also saw your request for help on User:Derckvan/sandbox. This page is the proper place to make a request like that.
 * In addition to Will's suggestions above, the explanation of "linkspam" is at LINKSPAM. It is the action of adding a link where it could serve to promote, or "inform people about", an external site that may or may not be related to the subject of the article.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 19:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
