Welcome! edit

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Are you just going to slap citation needed tags? edit

Regarding your edits on Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

What you just did was WP:DISRUPTSIGNS#3. Engages in "disruptive cite-tagging". Stop it. It's plain disruptive. I removed your style issue box, because you're not meant to use first person pronouns in mainspace. SHB2000 (talk) 10:25, 24 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Caduceus edit

The text in the article about use as a symbol of medicine has been extensively researched and cited. If you want to challenge it, please use talk:Caduceus to do so. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:05, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

However strong your feelings and beliefs on the subject are, you cannot expect to just bludgeon them through against extensive citations in the existing text. The way to secure change is by making the case at the article talk pages by producing the supporting evidence and securing consensus for them. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:23, 11 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just so you know edit

You've already given explicit consent to publish your IP address by clicking "Publish changes". You must have seen "You are not logged in. Your IP address will be publicly visible if you make any edits. If you log in or create an account, your edits will be attributed to a username, among other benefits" at the top of the editing form. User:SineBot is indeed a bot, and no one is "hiding behind" it. It's just a computer automatically adding signatures as required by policy. Your IP is public in the page history and the list of your contributions, among other places, even if you remove it from the talk page text. As the notice says, you must create an account and log in if you don't want your talk page comments to be associated with your IP address. And refrain from using offensive language.

Blocked edit

Your continued complaints are disruptive. You have a simple choice: Create an account and use it, or use your IP address to edit. When you edit with an IP address, it is exactly that - you are known by your IP address. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:52, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
