Welcome to Wikipedia! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your edits to our free content collaboratively edited encyclopedia!

Wikipedia was founded in 2001 by big brother (Jimbo or Jimmy Wales) and little brother (Larry Sanger). From our early life with UseModWiki (now available at nostalgia wiki) we are now [//www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org one of the top ten most visited] websites in the world and have articles in English. There is a total of edits to all pages (not just articles) and  registered users have edited in the last 30 days. ([ Update all stats].)

The five pillars The fundamental principles of Wikipedia are the five pillars. They state that:

Planning a new article? If you are planning on starting a new article, read Your first article before you begin. Your subject needs to be notable&mdash;it must have been discussed in multiple reliable sources. Articles with subjects that are not notable may be deleted. Consider using:

 Post a new message to my talk page. (File info)


 * Articles for creation &mdash; experienced editors will review your article before deciding if it should go live
 * The article wizard &mdash; you will be guided through creating an article. Unregistered (IP) editors cannot use this process as they are unable to create pages.
 * If you use this process your article will go live immediately. It may be tagged for speedy deletion if it is unsuitable for Wikipedia.
 * Requested articles &mdash; for where you have an idea for an article but do not wish to write the content. Another editor may start the article in the future.

What if I can't write a new article? Should I pack up and go somewhere else? If after reading all this you don't feel so confident about your new article, don't worry. Every contributor doesn't need to write their own article, and there isn't really much left to write about! Consider joining a WikiProject to meet editors interested in your subject areas and help improve articles to good or featured status.

Other important stuff When posting on discussion or talk pages, please remember to sign and date your comments by typing four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically produce your signature (something like Example (talk)). Your signature can be customised in your preferences; please remember to adhere to the signatures guideline if you do so.

A useful page for newcomers (newbies) is the New contributors help page, and at some point, you'll need to read through and understand all the Policies and guidelines. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page (click the button to the right) or go to the Teahouse Question and Answer board. Once again, welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Day6. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Dr.  K.  05:05, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Day6 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
