Don't be afraid to edit! ↗ Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.

It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.

If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue on the article's talk page ↗. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus ↗.

Always use edit summaries ↗ to explain your changes.

When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source ↗.

If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide ↗ and disclose your connection.

Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Disambiguation link notification for April 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gordon Fogo ↗, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Halifax ↗ was added. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 10:04, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to :Harvey Chochinov ↗. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see MOS:INFOBOXIMAGE ↗). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

{{para|image|{{var|<syntaxhighlight inline lang="wikitext">thumb|Some image caption ↗</syntaxhighlight>}}}}

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

{{para|image|{{var|SomeImage.jpg}}}}.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as {{para|caption|{{var|Some image caption}}}}. Please note that this is just an example that 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!
