Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

User pages
Wikipedia does not have "author pages." Many new editors make the mistake of thinking of Wikipedia as social media, and try to create website-like content on their own User page. This will result in Speedy deletion by an Administrator, with no record of the failed attempt. See WP:User pages for what does and does not belong there. Having a User page is optional: you can have nothing (in which case your name appears red), something as simple as Hello, or more. David notMD (talk) 11:07, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
