Welcome![edit]

Hello, Gopher47, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
- Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from near the top of the page.
Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
- Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
- Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
Add headings with ==double equal signs==
- If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Add enough sections and you get a contents section.
- Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can remove the code {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
  - ===subheadings are similar===
When you add information to Wikipedia please precis things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes'' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects_by_area, alternatively look at the talkpages of articles you are interested in and see which Wikiprojects have placed templates there.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

November 2022[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 4th Grade (South Park). This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:40, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, I didn't start an edit war. That would be the users who keep blanking the page. I was just restoring it to its original state (the way it had been for years). Some other user blanked the page and redirected it to the article for season 4 without sufficient explanation. No discussion on the talk page, no justification. The article had been the way it was for years before someone abruptly decided that it wasn't up to standard. Wouldn't it make more sense to leave the page the way it was while those users make their case on the talk page? Gopher47 (talk) 19:07, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
