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!

Censorship in Auschwitz[edit]

Hi @Theresa Xu: How are you? I reviewed the article your wrote. It a great bit of work. Excellent really although the citations are a bit out of sorts. Take a look at WP:SFN which may help. They would be ideal for you. WP:REFB may be handy. You can put an isbn or a doi or a url into the cite book template in the editing window and it will populate the dialog for you. Your then left with a reference like <ref>{{...}}</ref><nowiki>. When you remove the ref tags from the your left with a raw citation. The can be used in the bibliography section. If you use the sfn tags, and a biblio section with a <nowiki>{{refbegin|30em}} and a {{refend}} when you click on the sfn it takes you to the individual citation. Its quite nice and a very easy way of referencing. Also please take a look at [1]. Its a world catalogue of books. We generally don't link to the publishers page. Its a site that helps you create the citation. I hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 08:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
