Welcome, Kingsharkmmvi!


Welcome to Wikipedia, Kingsharkmmvi! I'm I dream of horses, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

 * @I dream of horses Thank you for informing, I hope this grows into a constructive relationship for both of us, may you kindly just give a brief on the ways to edit because I have had a really had time editing articles
 * Thank you for your time awaiting your response Kingsharkmmvi (talk) 18:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Surprisingly enough, I don't get a lot of questions; of those who end up editing articles (a lot of people seem to create articles just to read), few seem to need help from me specifically. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 18:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @I dream of horses To begin with, how can I upload an image from my phone to an article I was reading, thank you for your quick reply Kingsharkmmvi (talk) 18:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Kingsharkmmvi If it's your photo, you actually upload it to the sister website Wikimedia Commons, partially waiving copyright as you do so (if someone hypothetically put the picture on a t-shirt and sold it, you'd have no recourse), and then upload the photo to the article with instructions found here.

 * @I dream of horses I'm sorry but you're just confusing me more, I don't know much about Wikipedia Kingsharkmmvi (talk) 18:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * What are you confused about? I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 18:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @I dream of horses I dont know much about Wikipedia, so please if you're guiding me through something, please explain everything to me Kingsharkmmvi (talk) 19:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I've linked to a page that has guidance on how to upload a photo; I really can't help you further if you won't specifically tell what's confusing you.I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:05, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * @I dream of horses My problem is that I don't know anything about Wikipedia, I only ever used it to read articles, and you just used such new terms to me like commons, that was very confusing to me Kingsharkmmvi (talk) 19:13, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia Commons is a "sister site" to Wikipedia; it hosts freely licensed photos that other websites (including but not limited to Wikipedia) can use. Both Commons and Wikipedia are owned by the same non-profit, so if you have an account here, you'll have an account on Commons. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @I dream of horses After uploading my photo to this site, how will I find it later when I want to use it on an article Kingsharkmmvi (talk) 19:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * You'll name the file when you upload it, and link the image as described in the tutorial I linked above. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @I dream of horses Okay, thank you for the help, I will notify you if I need assistance.
