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. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- 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.

- Hi @ Mdann52 , this was really helpful. It broke down most of the information I was initially looking for into a more easier to consume fashion. Although I love the black and white design of Wikipedia , I cant but help but feel it might hold it back at times. Maybe one day we could find a solution to this but as for now, I greatly appreciate it. PS: I left you a thanks :) JojoeditsWiki ( talk) 00:03, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

- Hi,
- I’m a high school student dealing with a severe neurological condition, and I’m trying my best to contribute to Wikipedia. However the current Wikipedia format and layout is really hard for me to maneuver. I promise to do better
- Thank you for your understanding and assistance. JojoeditsWiki ( talk) 21:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, JojoeditsWiki! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for
your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be
gaming the system to gain user groups such as
autoconfirmed. Such attempts may result in revocations of your user groups and
loss of editing privileges. I understand your conditions, but this may be a
WP:CIR issue here. AGF, I hope you slowly learn the policies. Nobody knew all of them from the start.

- Thank you for your message. I appreciate your guidance and understanding. I’ll continue learning and strive to improve my contributions. If I have any questions, I’ll be sure to ask :) JojoeditsWiki ( talk) 07:55, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
JojoeditsWiki, I've reverted the majority of your edits as they introduced Manual of Style errors, unnecessary links and irrelevant whitespace. When concerns regarding these types of edits were raised previously, you blanked the messages and continued on making the same minor, incorrect edits. This isn't acceptable and gives the appearance of artificially increasing your edit count. Please ensure you review the concerns raised, along with the corresponding policy and guideline links, prior to editing further.-- Ponyo bons mots 21:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- I apologize I suffer from a condition that's hard for me to fully grasp the Wikipedia policy (I'm really trying my best even replying to these talk messages is hard for me). Its a sort of escape . Please forgive me

- Wikipedia has a lot of policies and guidelines; if another editor provides you with information it's important that you review and try to understand how things work here. Editing Wikipedia should be fun; if you find it is causing you distress then perhaps you may want to direct your energies to another website. Whatever you decide, good luck to you.-- Ponyo bons mots 21:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
