[edit] Hello, I'm Jim1138. An edit you recently made to Kanni seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 06:04, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
References
[edit]Please see wp:citing sources. There are a few help links at the top of that page for beginners. See wp:verifiability as to why references are needed. Also, the Interaction/Help link on the left column on every page will get you to other help areas. You can always ask a question at the wp:teahouse Hope this helps.

Please don't experiment
[edit]You can use wp:show preview to see how an edit will look without saving the page. You can use the "Sandbox" to experiment. The link is at the top right of any page while you are logged in. Also, please leave an wp:edit summary. I undid your edit to Kanni as you "broke" a few things. Remember, the article is "live" and if you break something, anyone who views the page will see a mess.

[edit] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to German Shepherd. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Justeditingtoday (talk) 09:50, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Petskeeping does not meet our criteria for sources
[edit]Please see WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. We shouldn't use this sort of blog. And repeatedly adding it would be normally seen as spamming. Doug Weller talk 17:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
