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.
Sincerely,

Hello there! I've noticed you went through and changed the layout of membership tables for a number of NCAA conferences, but haven't left any explanation as to why in an edit summary and/or in a talk page comment. It's always a good idea to include an edit summary to give other editors an idea of why you made whatever changes you did (even small edits), and never a bad idea to add a section on the talk page for any kind of larger change. Generally, any kind of mass changes made across several articles like that would need some kind of discussion and consensus in a WikiProject page (for the conferences it could be multiple projects, like WP:SPORTS or WP:CFB) since the general layouts are from discussion and consensus over a long period of time. You are welcome to propose layout changes there if you feel they would improve the information on the tables. If you have questions, feel free to ask here or on the talk pages for the various related WikiProjects. -- JonRidinger ( talk) 12:51, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into
Big Ten Academic Alliance. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. —

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Sun Belt Conference, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been
reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your
sandbox for that. The edit you made to this article was the most damaging of the conference edits you made today. Please explain the purpose of it, because otherwise, it looks like pure disruption. —
