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

I'm Pdebee, 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 userpage.

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!

Your draft article on Sam Feldman

[edit]

Dear Sarah,
Further to your earlier request at my talk page yesterday, I have now reviewed your draft, applied a few cosmetic changes, and fixed a few simple issues. However, I would still recommend that you contact the Guild of Copy Editors, with a request for one of their volunteers to review your draft, and then work with you to ensure that it meets all prerequisites for a successful move into main article space. These editors specialise in this process and will ensure that all editorial guidelines are adhered to, and that your article meets the required standards. I hope that the little I have done today, including the present advice, will have proved of some assistance; I certainly wish you success.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 16:56, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Sarah,
To request a review of your draft by someone at the Guild of Copy Editors, all you have to do is:
  1. click here: Requests,
  2. scroll down to/click on the "Submit a Request" button, which opens the request page,
  3. copy the "CCN: C-class nomination" words from the top table (to paste it later),
  4. scroll down to the editable text at the bottom of that page,
  5. replace "Articlename" with: User:Sarah for SF/Sam Feldman draft|Sam Feldman, within the double brackets,
  6. type your comments under the heading and paste "CCN: C-class nomination" somewhere within those comments,
  7. leave the tildes in place so that your signature is appended to the request,
  8. scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on 'Publish changes', as usual.
Please note that it will probably take a while before a volunteer takes on the task, but it is well worth waiting patiently, since this process will maximise your chances that your draft will be accepted for publication in article main space, after the volunteer has suggested any improvements that might still be required. Good luck, and I wish you success.
I hope this helped a bit more; if not, then please just let me know.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 16:06, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosing COI

[edit]
  • Hello, this is just a repeat of what I've written on my talk page, but could you please update your conflict of interest on the talk page of Sam Feldman (music executive) as apparently how you declared it was in an incorrect format. Please see WP:PAID on how to disclose. You could ask at Wikipedia:Teahouse if you need help. Curiocurio (talk)
Hello, I did this myself, as it was straightfoward. Curiocurio (talk) 20:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
