Jesoysauce, good luck, and have fun. Hoary (talk) 03:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

On this edit of yours: On balance, you've improved the article. However, "organising" and "licence" are standard British spellings. Please don't change material from one spelling convention to another, unless the change is in conformance with this explanation.

Additionally, (i) "broadcast" is a standard alternative to "broadcasted"; (ii) whether you're in Hong Kong, the US, or Britain, whereas "stationary" is indeed the word for "not moving", the homophone for pencils, notebooks, envelopes etc is conventionally written "stationery". -- Hoary (talk) 03:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry! I thought they were misspellings lol. Guess the american is shining in me. I'll keep note of that, thank you for letting me know!! And thank you for the welcome as well :D Jesoysauce (talk) 23:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

From Cullen's talk page!
Hey Jesoysauce, as I said, your list of interests seems to me to show plenty of opportunities for helping out. As I said, it was quite a while ago now, but I remember the exact feeling you're talking about. Let me offer some general advice first--even small additions are helpful. A lot of my initial contributions (and to this day!) are copyediting, like correcting misspellings, adding missing punctuation, or cleaning up confusing or awkward sentences. I find a lot of those just in naturally looking up things in my day-to-day life. Never feel afraid to do those or that it's 'too small.' Next, especially as regarding fandoms and music, you'll find articles about recent things are often in flux and can use good faith people to help stabilize them. I am not a Pokemon guy, but I am certain there are going to be dustups there. I ended up getting dragged into The Rings of Power as a Tolkien fan, though I did not personally care for the show. Black history likewise is an area that in my experience is somewhat underserved, but also, sadly all too often gets wrapped up in contemporary politics. And that's where I'll give my Socrates pitch--know thyself. If you think you can remain calm when wading into argumentative waters, please do so. In general, I am pretty good at that, though there are certain topics I avoid for those reasons, and I am far from perfect on that score. I'mgoing to look around a bit to see if there are any specific articles (or possibly editors) I can point you to, but I thought I'd give you that broad overview. I can't claim to really be a Wikipedia expert, but I have been around for a little while and am more than happy to help out in any way I can. Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 15:41, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Firstly,thank you, I really appreciate it.
 * Secondly, I forgot to mention I do also like politics...primarily in the US, but I do also enjoy global affairs. My main things are LGBTQ rights and conservative mindsets; i find the fascinating.
 * Sorry for the extra work... but I felt as if I should mention it. In the future, how can I find these by myself? Jesoysauce (talk) 15:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * So a couple of good starters are just to put any page that interests you on your watchpage, and sort of see how things are going. Some pages may be edited once a week, others, dozens of time a day.  I watch some of the notice boards (WP:ANI, WP:BLPN, WP:FTN, etc.) and occasionally chime in--but more often I will see an article about which I have some little knowledge and think "maybe I can help there."  By its very nature, that will tend to lead to more contentious areas.  Also not a bad idea to sign up for the feedback request service.  That service can notify you of RfCs in a specific area(s).  I am not sure if you have experience with RfCs, but they are a chance to seek wider input from the Wikipedia community.  I recommend paying attention to them not only as a chance to contribute, but you'll get a good sense of what makes a compelling argument on Wikipedia as opposed to what does not.  But really, there is no substitute for going to pages that interest you, watchlisting them, looking at the talk page, and simply engaging.  It may start slow, but I think one of the wonderful things about Wikipedia is those that come here in good faith always seem to find their niche.  Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 16:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Jesoysauce, I would recommend you go say hello to Hoodoowoman, she may well have some good ideas as to contributions you could make. Happy Friday! Dumuzid (talk) 13:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and happy Friday to you too! Jesoysauce (talk) 15:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Notice
Hello. I have noticed your contributions to Rec Room (video game) and thought I would leave you a notice. You have cited YouTube as a source in one of your contributions to Rec Room (video game), and you would be best informed that citing YouTube is generally not considered acceptable, as YouTube hosts user generated content. I have personally elected to let the contribution stand, but another editor may not. Do not be surprised if it is reverted. Best of luck on your editing, and if you have any questions, you can always direct them to me or The Teahouse. ~ GoatLordServant(Talk) 18:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Alright, go it. Thanks Jesoysauce (talk) 18:45, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey Jesoysauce --GoatLo9rdServant is absolutely correct about this. There are some incredibly rare instances where YouTube can be used as a source, but the best policy is to just treat it as totally unreliable.  Don't feel bad though, this is something I think about 98% of new editors do at some point!  Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 18:54, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 98% is wild Jesoysauce (talk) 18:25, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
