If you need help, check out Wikipedia's page for questions. You can also ask me by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message, or you can ask your question on this page by editing it and placing {{Help me}} before your question. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages, which is done by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of it; this will automatically insert your username and the date. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page.

Before you create an article, make sure that you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

While editing:

Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished!

Tom Patterson Theatre[edit]

Hi. Thanks for creating the Tom Patterson Theatre article. I noticed that the language you used in the article isn't the sort of neutral language that Wikipedia articles need to be written in, and I was wondering if you could try to tone the language down a bit. Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:47, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hello, Rib17. Thank you for your work on Tom Patterson Theatre. Netherzone, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, I hope you like it here. We appreciate your contributions. I have reviewed the article after doing some clean up on it because it contained a vast amount of promotional and advertorial wording that was not encyclopedic in tone or content. I also noticed that you had removed the maintenance tags without fixing these problems. Maintenance tags serve a purpose here, they are not "badges of shame", they are a heads up to the community that problems or issues need fixing. In the future if you are not sure if you have resolved the issues, reach out and ask other editors, for example at the WP:TEAHOUSE or WP:HELPDESK. Again, thank you for creating the article, and hope you decide to stay.
