Hi Fattyboytyper,

Thanks for joining our community.

As you explore, you can check out our Tour to learn more about wikiHow.

If you want to start helping right away, you might like our Topic Greenhouse tool, which lets you find and improve articles on topics you know about.

Leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about how wikiHow works. I’d be happy to help!

Article-Review-TeamArticle Review Team said about Buy Something for the Best Price:

Congrats on starting your first wikiHow article!

Like all new articles, it will now go through a quality review process to ensure it follows our community guidelines. If your article meets those guidelines, you'll get a note letting you know that it's been promoted.

In the meantime you can continue editing to improve your article, or try visiting our Community Dashboard for other ways to help. You might get a kick out of flipping through the Topic Greenhouse to find articles in your area of expertise so you can add your knowledge there, too!

If you have any questions as you go, just reach out to our Help Team for a hand, and someone will get back to you soon :)

Hey there! Thanks for joining wikiHow. We're happy to have you here!

How'd you find wikiHow? Do you have any questions?

EricEric said:

Thank you for writing a new article on wikiHow. Your effort is very much appreciated. Unfortunately, there was some information in your article that I wasn't able to confirm, so it was nominated for deletion due to its accuracy.

But don't worry, a nomination for deletion doesn't guarantee that it will be deleted. You can still edit the article to improve it. The best way to ensure the article's accuracy is to research the topic, and then cite your sources.

After making these improvements, you should mention that you've fixed these accuracy problems on the discussion page. That way, the people who review the nomination for deletion will see what you've done to improve the page and possibly decide not to delete it.

Thanks again for contributing here, and let me know if there's any way I can help you out.

Hello! Thanks for editing here. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your contributions because I wasn't sure how it was helpful. If you were just experimenting, feel free to use the Sandbox for that. You might also want to read our Writer's Guide. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, an admin or the Help Team. Thanks again for contributing!

Hi, Fattyboytyper!

While reviewing images for appropriate licensing information, I found that you may have forgotten to assign a license to one or more pictures that you uploaded. I just wanted to verify whether you made these pictures yourself or got them from somewhere else:

https://www.wikihow.com/Image:Lol-(4).jpeg

If you got images from a search engine or a website you found, please let me know which site - images that are copyrighted can't be used on wikiHow and have to be removed. However, if you've confirmed that an image is freely licensed for use on a site like wikiHow (e.g. if they have the right kind of "Creative Commons" or "Public Domain" license), we can correct the licensing on the image.

You can also reuse an image you've found elsewhere on wikiHow, if that's easier. Images found to be missing appropriate licensing information will be deleted in 1-2 weeks unless it's determined they can be licensed for use on wikiHow. If there's anything I can help you with, now or in the future, don't hesitate to contact me, or leave a message for the Help Team. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks again!

EricEric said:

From a quick reverse lookup, it appears the image was actually taken from here.

At 00:11, Feb 06, 2019

EricEric said:

Will you please forward a copy of the permission granted by the copyright holder to permissions@wikihow.com so we can review it? Include a link to the image as well. Thank you!

Oops! It looks like you accidentally approved a bad edit in while patrolling recent changes just now. That's okay though; you're still learning. I undid a batch of your recent patrols, to play it safe and have those edits reviewed again. I just want to make sure no bad edits were accepted while you're still learning your way around RC patrol.

If you haven't already, read our article on How to Patrol Recent Changes and give it another try! I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about patrolling. And remember, if you're not sure what to do, just press the "skip" button and you'll do fine :)

Thanks for your help with patrolling! It looks like you're still getting the hang of it, so your access to RC Patrol has been temporarily blocked by Patrol Coach. If you would like to talk about getting back into patrolling, please let me know! I'd be happy to offer some coaching so we can work towards restoring access. This hold need only be temporary :)

In the meantime, though, you can always help out using other tools on the site, like the Answer Questions Tool and Spellchecker. Try those out and let me know what you think!

Hey there! Thank you for starting a new article on wikiHow!

I've made some changes to it, to help it match better with our Formatting Guidelines. Does it look okay to you?

At 17:33, Feb 12, 2019

AnnaAnna said:

Heya,

I just wanted to say thanks so much for starting an article here. It's awesome you're keen to help out!

Since we do have an existing and very established article on How to Prepare Rooibos Tea, I went ahead and created a redirect between the article you started and the existing one. We're all about collaboration here, so your best bet is to add any new advice you have to share to the existing topic and help it grow. We'd love to have your help, and it'd be neat to cover the ginger option alongside the existing lemon one, there!

At 12:28, Feb 13, 2019

AnnaAnna said:

Thanks for being open to feedback! If you're game, the best first approach is to check out How to Patrol Recent Changes - reading that over all the way through, and watching the video at the bottom, is really helpful. Then it's a good idea to read over our Writer's Guide, formatting guidelines, and External Links Policy, too, since a lot of those guidelines become important in patrolling as well :)

After you check all those out and feel confident about the patrolling best practices, would you mind shooting me an email at anna@wikiHow.com? Then I can send you a few practice examples to get you off on the right foot before we restore the tool for you.

Let me know if you have any questions! I'd be happy to help!

At 13:26, Feb 13, 2019

AnnaAnna said:

Sorry, email is the only way to take that test. If you can’t email, you’re welcome to just help with other kinds of editing, though. There’s more to wikiHow than patrolling :)

"Your edit count is not your IQ, value as a human being, or a score in a video game. It does not determine your worth as a [wikiHowian].
