Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

• Create new pages and rename pages
• Edit semi-protected pages
• Upload images
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (66.69.132.230) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a new Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing!  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 00:53, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct allegations. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. SwagGangster ^★ 01:48, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:04, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Fixing page titles in links

Hello, I'm TJRC. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Alan Smithee. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please, only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created. Thanks!

Fixed page title error

Hello, and thank you for your continuing efforts to improve Wikipedia. Every article has a main title, but some also have one or more alternative titles called redirects. Links to the pages via these redirects are perfectly acceptable. In fact they can be better than using the main title, because someone may replace the redirect by a more detailed article on a specific aspect of the subject. Please do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken, as this is not helpful. Thanks again, Certes (talk) 00:40, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

I see that you are continuing to bypass redirects. Firstly, it's ok to reply to these comments on your talk page so we can discuss the matter. (Don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes: ~~~~). Secondly, if you want to fix links in a more useful way, may I recommend Articles With Multiple Dablinks? The pages listed there have links to disambiguation pages. Those links actually are wrong and need fixing. For example, a page might link to Mercury (a list of things called Mercury) when it should link to Mercury (an article about the planet). That last link is written as [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], so the word "planet" doesn't display. If you prefer to work in a particular subject area, this tool will show you a list of articles on your favourite topic which have links to fix. Hoping that helps, Certes (talk) 13:36, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
