 Welcome GatewayPolitics!
Hello GatewayPolitics. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Jauerback, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos 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 commit vandalism
    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 {{Help me}} 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
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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 user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

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.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Mayoral elections

edit

Cities like Murfreesboro and Clarksville generally aren't considered large enough for all of their mayoral elections to be notable; can I suggest you merge them to a page like Mayoral elections in Providence, Rhode Island? (i.e. pages Mayoral elections in Clarksville, Tennessee and Mayoral elections in Murfreesboro, Tennessee) Elli (talk | contribs) 21:01, 24 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

That's a good idea! It can be like Mayoral elections in Knoxville. Could you help me with this? GatewayPolitics (talk) 16:41, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Elli I'll create the articles, but i need help with the redirects GatewayPolitics (talk) 16:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
First one done, just need help with the redirects Mayoral elections in Clarksville, Tennessee GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Sure. What do you need help with doing exactly? Elli (talk | contribs) 17:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I forgot what it's called, but the old articles need to be redirected, so if you click on them, they go to the section of the new article GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:28, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think the original articles need to be made into a redirect paged GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:30, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ah, yes. I've done 2022 Clarksville mayoral election; you can see what I did to redirect it in this diff. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:31, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh okay I can do that easily 😂, thanks for helping! GatewayPolitics (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
