If you are interested in contributing: Read what our articles are intended to be Check out the to-do list See our help page and Wikipedia's formatting cheatsheet If writing a new article, consider writing up a draft And most importantly: Pull up a goat and have some fun!

Please give some of the links in that pink box a read - it will help you with navigating the wiki and with formatting text. If somebody finds a problem with your Main space contributions, it's generally a good idea to write on the relevant article's talk page.

Peace. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 20:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

We ARE talking Ethan. By clicking on "Recent changes" on the column to your left, you will see everyone's contributions. Everyone can see your edits. As a new account, sysops see a big red exclamation mark. Feel free to write here and we will respond. Also:

On talk pages, please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the sign button: on the toolbar above the edit panel. You can also indent successive talk page comments using one more colon (:) for each line. Thank you.

You can also press "Add topic" on the top right when starting a new heading on a talk page. Regards. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 21:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

When I say HERE I don't mean Recent changes, I mean this page you are reading right now.

1. Hit "Edit" beside the heading. (Hi Ethan is the heading. You will see a small blue [edit] symbol next to it)

2. Underneath this paragraph you are reading, put three colons to indent your comment. Then say what you have to say. Hit ~ four times to sign your comment.

3. Someone will come along to answer your queries here by writing a response. This back-and-forth exchange of text on the internet is known as "communication." I am supremely confused (but also very, very amused) by the misunderstandings.

'I am supremely confused (but also very, very amused) by the misunderstandings.' Ok, It helps if you write unambiguously. What type of citation do you want? Ethan Spinner (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Why the smart arse comment to a brand new user?: 'This back-and-forth exchange of text on the internet is known as "communication." Ethan Spinner (talk) 21:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Aaaaay, much better with the formatting, much better. But please, put new things on THE BOTTOM of talk pages. That way as people scroll down they can see the chronological progression of the discussion. As for my request that you reference your edits, what do you have? A news article by a reputable outlet? An article published in a peer reviewed journal? Basically we are looking for anything that isn't just "trust me bro." For more please read Help:References.

As for being a smart ass, why it's tradition! You will get used to it, should you decide to hang around. Peace, my friend. - Rairyu75 (Talk) 22:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Peace? haha, I'm here. I hope you can get used to that. Thanks for the help. Ethan Spinner (talk) 22:02, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
