User talk:Idiam

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, Idiam, and welcome to Wikipedia!

An edit that you recently made to Koliva seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 23:25, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Laterthanyouthink. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Koliva have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 13:35, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Idiam and thanks for the email. If you read some of the links in the Welcome panel above, or have a look at WP:The Wikipedia Adventure, you will learn more about how Wikipedia works, acceptable practices, and tricks such as how to "ping" people. For instance, typing will alert me to the fact that you have addressed me here on your user page (or any other talk page), instead of using email, and I can reply in the same place. Discussion about the spelling of that word rightly belongs on the talk page of that article, so I will now write something there and ping you, so you will be alerted by the little bell symbol at the top of your page. In the meantime, have a good read of WP:RS, which explains that all content on Wikipedia must be supported by an independent reliable source; it is not based on our (editors') personal knowledge or experiences. (And always remember to sign any comments you make on any talk pages by typing four tildes (~), which will be converted into your username and a time and date stamp.)

 * I forgot to mention the teahouse, where you can ask questions which will be answered by experienced editors, and also the "help me" template, which can be placed on this talk page anytime you would like someone to answer a question (and don't forget to write the question afterwards!). Good luck and happy editing! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:42, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
