Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia

    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode

    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

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 this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. 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 here to start it.

Thanks for uploading File:Lucy-Hale-Road-Between-Album-Cover-Art.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Taylor Swift, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Love Story. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  Please refrain from changing genres without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. 183.171.174.140 (talk) 01:22, 24 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please do not simply add bare URLs. These are lazy references and subject to linkrot. Templates such as {{cite web}} and {{cite news}} should be used. 183.171.172.27 (talk) 06:38, 2 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Montevallo (album), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pop.

Fishing for genres

edit

I removed a bunch of your work at X (Ed Sheeran album) because the sources failed to verify the genres that you stated. An album review must describe the overall genre of the album for that genre to be in the infobox. Please don't just pick and choose words from the review, turning "acoustic guitar" into an overall genre of acoustic, or a "soulful" description into a soul genre. And the genre of an album should not be a composite of all the song genres, taken from various song reviews—it must be an overall description of the album.

Unsourced genre

edit

I'm sure you didn't mean to put a template in Bad Blood (Taylor Swift song), but that genre is unsourced anyway, just letting you know. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 22:50, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Red (Taylor Swift album), you may be blocked from editing. Dan56 (talk) 15:36, 7 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add flatlists to the infobox, as you did at Red (Taylor Swift album). The template guidelines say to delineate genres (and the like) with commas (Template:Infobox album#Genre). Furthermore, delineating words with bullet points is jarring and unattractive. Dan56 (talk) 15:49, 7 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

December 2015

  Please refrain from making controversial changes that have already been discussed on the article's talk page, as you did at Red (Taylor Swift album), without first establishing consensus on the talk page. Your edits appear to have gone against established consensus and have been reverted. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 17:28, 20 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Edward Alden. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Thanks for creating Edward Alden, Cajalden!

Wikipedia editor Zakhx150 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

If you are able to replace the reference which cites LinkedIN that would be useful as this reference does not meet Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines. There is more about issues with self-published sources HERE
