To get some practice editing you can
use a sandbox. You can
create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{
My sandbox}}
on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to
Bill Green (hammer thrower) have been removed because you cited the information you added to another Wikipedia article or an external
wiki. As discussed at
WP:CIRCULAR and
WP:SPS, Wikipedia and other wikis should not be used in citations because they are not considered
reliable sources. You are welcome to re-add the information using a different reference, perhaps from the article you originally linked to. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to
Art Venegas while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being
blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's
policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your
IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing.
And again, you have a COI so should not be editing the article directly. Consider this a warning. Continuing may result in both your account and IP being blocked. S0091 ( talk) 18:57, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, OLYMPICHAMMER. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. S0091 ( talk) 18:21, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Just letting you know that I accepted your submission of Art Venegas. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 17:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi OLYMPICHAMMER, given you have a conflict of interest you should not edit the article directly including logged out, other than small copy edits, but rather make edit requests. You might find the Edit Request Wizard handy. S0091 ( talk) 15:20, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
