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.

Happy editing! Cheers, Kimen8 (talk) 13:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that "None", ".", and other meaningless edit summaries are the same as providing no edit summary. Please review

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a

 → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Please note that "None" and "." and the like are not useful edit summaries. Having useful edit summaries that briefly but accurately describe your changes saves other editors from having to dig into the details of every diff on articles they are interested in.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have repeatedly been asked to use edit-summaries, and have continued to use useless ones like "none". If you are not doing something constructive to the article, then do not make the edit. If you are making an edit, it is false to say you are doing nothing. Changing spaces in infoboxes just clutters up everyone else's watchlists and is therefore disruptive with no benefit. Please stop. DMacks (talk) 22:56, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And finally, please stop marking content-edits as 'minor'. That is not allowed. See Help:Minor edit for more information. DMacks (talk) 22:59, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Dipropylcyclopentylxanthine. DMacks (talk) 17:33, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think maybe you are being a being a bit harsh and presumptuous... I think this is a good faith editor who just has some confusion about how Wikipedia editing works and has made some honest mistakes and needs some polite guidance. We were all new once. Please see

Please stop marking every edit of yours as minor. Only mark those that are actually minor, following Help:Minor edit. Thanks GrayStorm^{Talk Sandbox} 14:53, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What happens if I put the “Watch this page” option? I am almost a beginner, but I am interested in reading and correcting errors on pages, but I have not tried clicking on the “Watch this page” option. Yungocdy (talk) 15:50, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It adds the page to your watchlist, where you can see any new edits made to that page and its corresponding talk page (or main page if you select that option on a talk page.) Note that you can also do this by clicking the star at the top of a page. GrayStorm^{Talk Sandbox} 02:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yungocdy, were you thinking that you were supposed to click one of those buttons? Like, every edit needs to be classified as "minor" or as "watch this page"? WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I came by because I noticed you have been editing some health-related articles. Thanks for that work. A bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're welcome to join us if that's an area of editing that interests you. It's a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Feel free to put the group's page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:39, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yungocdy! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Oxazepam that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. If you have any questions then please let me know, and please don't be scared off from further editing becuase of this message! It's not a big deal; everyone has to learn how Wikipedia works at the beginning. Thanks! Vontheri (talk) 19:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Yungocdy! Your additions to

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. Read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 06:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed your addition to

WP:COMPLIC for more information. If you don't have a compatibly licensed source, you need to summarize information in your own words. DanCherek (talk) 13:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

One of your recent edits has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.
