To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Hello, Bonmot. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page SurVision Magazine, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 14:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- I don't appreciate unfounded assumptions, nor do I like personal attacks. I don't promote anything, and I don't have a connection with the subject. I am a Wiki editor just like you. Please refrain from mutilating articles if you have an issue with a particular institution that they describe. This is not nice, to put it mildly. And this is also personal interest from your part. --Bonmot (talk) 15:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Bonmot. It looks like you are engaging in edit warring at SurVision Magazine, trying to add content referenced to the magazine itself. Wikipedia articles should be written based primarily on what reliable sources independent of the topic say about the topic. This article is based largely on an interview with the founder (not independent) and a reference to the magazine itself (not independent). Therefore, I ask you to self-revert, to discuss the matter on the article talk page, and to avoid referencing the magazine itself when trying to expand the article. Thank you.

- Thank you, much appreciated. You are right, referencing the website wasn't such a great idea. I've provided the link to The Irish News, instead; it is our national newspaper; this is surely a better reference for this material.--Bonmot (talk) 18:01, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- You are correct that at least that source is independent, so thank you. But that article only mentions SurVision in passing, so is of no value in establishing the notability of the magazine. For that, we really need significant coverage of the magazine in reliable sources that are independent of the magazine. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 18:06, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)But instead.....you go right back to jerking the article around with unsourced information. Stop editing....start talking. Please....this is how Wikipedia works. I'm sorry you aren't understanding that. Additionally, you do need to address the questions above regarding your connection to the magazine. Are you published there? Do you work for them, hold a financial interest in the company or contract to it for a service? Jim? I'm off to do something outside with my boy. Enjoy your Sunday, Jim...and your Monday, Bonmot.

- Having no connection to SurVision Books, I can only guess that you have submitted to that poetry press and were turned down; this could explain your personal vendetta against it. As for me, I am not even a poet, even though I scribbled a bit when I was young; I am a designer, and I don't work for a particular press, including this one. By now, I have provided enough reliable sources for you to stop making very suspicious edits to this article, so you can relax and enjoy life, if you can. --Bonmot (talk) 18:25, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

"Personal vendetta", Bonmot? That is way out of line. John from Idegon is trying to maintain our policies and guidelines. Your speculations and accusations and innuendo to the contrary are not acceptable. Read and study WP:AGF. Stop this behavior now so that it will not be necessary to block you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Bonmot. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Wow. Just wow
This is completely uncalled for...and gee, you still haven't answered the question. John from Idegon (talk) 18:33, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. - You continued your personal attacks after I warned you to stop. That is unacceptable behavior. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 20:29, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
