edit

  Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Istanbul (disambiguation). However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
    • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. POLITANVM talk 18:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Welcome and new editor resources

edit

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you decide to continue editing constructively. As you've seen, I've reverted your first edits because of a few issues, such as adding article content to a disambiguation page and formatting issues with references. These aren't meant to discourage you from continuing to edit.

Additionally, while you are welcome to edit anonymously, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public): Create an account
