Welcome

Hello! I am assuming you have come over from the English Wikipedia, so you are probably familiar with the way this wiki works. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few links to help you adjust:

• An English Wikipedian's guide
• Writing in Simple English
• Simple talk: our help desk, reference desk and village pump- in one page
• How to copy from English Wikipedia

There is much to do here. For example, there are a lot of articles that do not exist yet, which you can bring over from the English Wikipedia and simplify. Do have a look around and see what you would like to do. Thank you for joining us, and you know how to contact me if you need help. --Ferien (talk) 12:59, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ferien and thanks for the kind message. Is my first article here Need to Know good? Thank you in advance. VersaceSpace (talk) 13:02, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Could do with some categories and linking to Wikidata but other than that, it's great. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 13:04, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

@Ferien: okay! Question: is there a draftspace? VersaceSpace (talk) 13:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately not. However, you can use a user subpage as a sandbox. --Ferien (talk) 13:19, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Ferien ok! I'll use that then. Is there anything else I should know that differs from the English Wikipedia? VersaceSpace (talk) 13:23, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

See User:Auntof6/simplediffs for some of the main differences between the Simple English and English Wikipedia.

Also

• We don't have short descriptions
• Unlike the English Wikipedia where there are multiple "Pages for deletion" processes + speedy deletion, we only have Requests for deletion and quick deletion
• If you're copying from the English Wikipedia, you can use the {{translated page}} template on the talk page (although simply saying "create from enwiki" in the edit summary is enough)

Hope that helps! :) --Ferien (talk) 13:27, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Ferien Thanks! Lastly, I tried to make a change deemed "too large". What do I do in this case? Does it apply to all editors or is there a non-autoconfirmed system? VersaceSpace (talk) 13:44, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

It seems to be an abuse filter "New user creating large new article". You should be able to make the change without any issues after two more edits. --Ferien (talk) 13:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Ferien okay. That confuses me because I was adding tables to an article and not actually making an article but it's fine. I'll just make smaller changes. VersaceSpace (talk) 13:49, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

If you want I can make the change for you. Although... if you respond to this saying yes then you'll be on 10 edits anyway... --Ferien (talk) 13:50, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Ferien I've just done it myself. The discography of Cardi B was set back by at least a few years so I brought some content over from the English Wikipedia. You can see the edit here: (diff) VersaceSpace (talk) 14:01, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Great, thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 14:06, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
