Tips- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Happy editing! Cheers, Rambley (talk) 20:12, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Rambley: I wrote to you several days ago about the submission of a new version of the current Wikipedia article on Joseph Smith Fletcher. How might I proceed? With all thanks LRP46 LRP46 (talk) 20:21, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- As I replied to you on my talk page,
- You can click the "Edit Source" button at the top of the page to make edits.
- Your response here indicates you'd like to submit a new version of the entire page rather than small edits; I'd suggest seeking consensus on the talk page of the article, so other editors can chime in. Rambley (talk) 21:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Rambley: Thank you for the help. I have replaced the original version of the article with the new version in the "Edit" feature but the only available choice seems to be "Publish". I am not sure how to proceed. Also, I am not sure what to do with the new references.
- The major differences between the original and new versions is mention of JSF's first wife and their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren (of whom I am one - I am aware of the Wikipedia rule related to connections and close connections but JSF died long before I was born), and the very recent awarding to JSF of a "Blue Plaque".
- My apologies if this seems a bit disorganized and my thanks for any help you can provide. LRP46 (talk) 21:33, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- I would like to reiterate again that discussing these changes on the talk page would be ideal, especially in a situation where you have a conflict of interest, even if minor. I am also unsure what I am not sure what to do with the new references means.
- Hitting "Publish changes" will publish the page immediately, so please be cautious if you're unsure about making edits. Rambley (talk) 21:38, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Rambley:
- I am very happy to discuss these changes on the talk page but it is not clear to me how to do that.
- Re the references, I am not sure if the format I have used is correct.
- Thank you for your help in getting a lame dog over a stile. LRP46 LRP46 (talk) 21:57, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
