Hello, ScholarCode, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

• Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
  • Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
• Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
  • Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
  • Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
• Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
• Add headings with ==double equal signs==
  • If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a
    table of contents
    .
  • Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can delete {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
    • ===subheadings are similar===
• When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
• If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
• ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes''' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. BrigadierG (talk) 21:01, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not adding extraneous links, only ones based on my reading which appear appropriate to the articles. I will also refer you to your talk page [1], and the note by Mewnst (talk) on 26 December 2021 (UTC) which points out that you are deleting useful links and are overweight unrealized newer areas. --ScholarCode (talk) 13:55, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I take issue with using my old, petty disagreements with Brigadier as an excuse to promote a handful of

WP:PREPRINT sources. I do not approve of how you are trying to add "useful links" to pages. Mewnst (talk) 23:20, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply

My objective is not to promote any particular author, the accusation is absurd. I will keep citing a variety of authors I read whose papers help with referencing wikipedia pages. ScholarCode (talk) 19:07, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
