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 userpage.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
~~~~
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
Sincerely, S0091 (talk) 19:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
A lengthy welcome
Hi SmolBrane. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's

Rogan RfC process
Regarding the discussion at the podcast talk page—and this is a post about process, not inclusion of content:
- Please keep your general arguments to the section you titled "First-ever emergency podcast” is not DUE???". That is a regular talk page section, and you can make whatever comment you want as long as it's on the topic of improving the article.
- The RfC is for community response. Responding to others' objections is totally acceptable, but not responding to your own RfC. You did this at least twice, in the posts that start "Yes, Yes, Yes, Maybe" and "I am surprised at the lack of input for this Vital article." That was my point in my last comment. UpdateNerd (talk) 06:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for the feedback; I am not seeing this reflected by WP:RFCBRIEF, which says “If you have lots to say on the issue, give and sign a brief statement in the initial description and publish the page, then edit the page again and place additional comments below your first statement and timestamp.” I can't find a policy that says I can't reply to my own RfC.

- Your statement here that "This isn't a 'Vital" argument(sic) in the normal sense of the word, someone simply nominated it at the lowest level of the 50,000 that should have a Feature Article. Frankly I think that there are many more important articles than this one" is not a collaborative one, and it is WP:TENDENTIOUS. We are here to build an encyclopedia.

I noticed that you've tagged me on an admins page stating that I'm "doing shenanigans again"? Who even are you?
When you have a problem with an edit, it's not resolved by tattling to your daddy admin on his talk page, especially when Wiki guidelines haven't been violated. Welcome to Wikipedia small brain, the name suits you. Good to know you have at least some self-awareness. ChicagoWikiEditor (talk) 18:21, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
- The admin in question reverted you last time you removed this sourced material from this article. Don't edit war, and don't label content editing as minor. (I do regard self-awareness as a virtue so thank you) SmolBrane (talk) 19:42, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
Lex Fridman
I just wanted to let you know I went ahead and revised the draft of Lex Fridman and published it anyway. CaffeinAddict (talk) 15:59, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- I noticed that, thanks for the efforts; how were you able to do that, and is it likely to be reverted? SmolBrane (talk) 18:15, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
- Not in my mind - but if you could help improve the article with reliable sources that would help. Right now I'm having a hard time finding other kinds of sourcing because so much of what he does is centred around YouTube. CaffeinAddict (talk) 05:24, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
