User talk:ThiccOyster

Hi, You made some edits at the start of the month, most of which have been undone (I undid one myself). PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP. Wikipedia depends on user edits, even if sometimes other people will be complete asshats about what you've added. Some pointers which might help you in the future:
 * Increasingly the page standards demand proof of everything. Even silly little things. The format for adding a citation is a bit fiddly, but look at the code behind a citation already on the page and rip that off. Blogs are frowned on as sources. If you're mainly writing about comics then issue numbers are really useful.
 * If you're adding links, do check that you're linking correctly. If you link to a page that doesn't exist then it comes up red, and unless the link is to something super obscure then that's probably a sign you're linking to the wrong page. For instance, you linked to Quicksilver (Marvel comics), but his actual page is Quicksilver (comics). And a red link on a prominant page attracts attention.
 * Think about whether the information you're adding is already on the page. On Magneto you put a remark about Quicksilver being Magneto's son into the opening paragraphs, which is fair ish comment, though I think that's been retconned in the point Marvel were desparately trying to make all their characters inhumans. But that's not really core to his character and was mentioned further down the page.
 * Think about whether the information is complete. If you're writing about Quicksilver then it's a bit odd not to mention the Scarlet Witch as well.
 * Above all, check that you're correct! You did say that Quicksilver appeared in X-Men #1. Nope. Magneto's in #1. The Brotherhood doesn't show up until #4.

I hope that's some use - some people seem to take delight in crushing newbies. I hope you'll stick around and have more success with your next edits.Nickpheas (talk) 16:22, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
