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}}

An article you recently created,
Greg Martin (artist), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. —

Hi there. Please read WP:REFSTART and WP:CITE on how to use ref tags when making citations. Directly putting links into articles is generally frowned upon and it would be highly appreciated if you clean up the citations you have already made, so that other editors do not have to clean up after you. Thank you.

Apologies for my mistakes, I'll use them properly for now on. Thank you for telling about this. I don't mean for this to happen. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 22:39, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Not a problem. Sorry for being rude about it; I hope you aren't discouraged from editing because of my message. Sdrqaz ( talk) 22:43, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
It's fine, I am still learning you know. I will use these citations properly and use them if nessecary. Have a good day, be safe. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 22:46, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I’m Serge, an Admin here on Wikipedia. I’m trying to be nice and work with you, but you don’t seem to be following, so here are some formal warnings:
If you change your approach now, you’re good to go. But if I keep seeing you violating these basics I’ve outlined above, then your account may be temporarily blocked. Thank you. Sergecross73 msg me 00:35, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Oh, I'm very sorry about this, I thought I'm still new, I've joined last year. I'm new to citations and I normally don't get in trouble here. I'm deeply sorry for violating the rules here on Wikipedia, forgive me. I thought people would know that Daisy and Luigi are a thing, you know. But anyway, again I'm very very sorry. I won't do anything like this again. I'll do further research and go to legit websites, not fandom and Wikias. My edit quality is good btw, I don't add stupid and unnessecary stuff in articles, I do mostly Metroid edits and I secure the Metroid Prime 4, just to make sure if someone changes the release date to "2023". I added TBA and I said the date will remain there until the release date is official.
Again, I'm deeply sorry for disobeying you, you can delete the citations I've linked,. I won't do it again, my lesson is learned. I just hope you still trust me, think I'm still mature enough to edit certain articles, and settle this.
Thank you. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 15:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, I do put effort when it comes to research. I won't make the same mistake again, I'll go to legit sites, not Wikias. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 18:44, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, I have been doing something I didn't get a notification. Okay, about the fan wiki thing, I insert that link a while ago, way before you even you started this topic and I just said I'm not gonna just said I'm not gonna do fan Wikias. Trust me when I say I'm not doing Fan Wikias again and I am taking this seriously.
I completely understand why your angry with me and trust me when I say that I'm not ignoring you, I didn't get a notification. I'm respectful to all admins and even if I did link those citations, it was an accident, I thought they'll be legit. I've seen other editors linking citations to fandoms and suffer no consequences. Again I would never disobey you and all admins, never.
All I'm is that I apologise if I did send those citations after we talked, I thought it wasn't a fandom. I'm sorry for driving you crazy and I didn't mean to disobey you.
Can you go a little easy on me, I've only been an editor for like about a month.
It won't happen again.
I'm sorry. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 17:15, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I completely understand. I'll learn from my mistakes. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 14:03, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
Is there a reason why you're trying to protect pages yourself again? I don't understand why you're still trying to do this. Regular editors do not have the ability to do this. I explained there are two ways to get this done, and it doesn't appear that you're doing either. What gives? Sergecross73 msg me 21:21, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
Okay, sorry if I sounded aggressive yesterday. I'm still taking my break just to cool down and just to loosen my anxiety. GeekFreak98 ( talk) 17:54, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
I understand, thank you. Also...
I'm back from my break and planning on returning soon. I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me to be a better editor and thank you for going easy on me. I'll be returning in a couple of days or more. For now, I'll be checking on some articles.
Again, thank you GeekFreak98 ( talk) 16:20, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello! The reason why it was removed is per discussion here where you can read in full an explanation of why it's no longer common practice. Also, you should consider joining Wikiproject video games too! There, you can keep up to date about changes to video game content (where I'm also discussing the Mario article right now).
