Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (174.77.220.178) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

February 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Eric Clapton are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 09:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC

Got message

Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the rules and guidelines. Could you send that page to me? I'm new at this and considering signing in and learning to edit.

It's all explained in our wp:Talk page guidelines. The link to that page was already present in my message above. Every link is marked blue. Happy reading. - DVdm (talk) 17:50, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, such as you did with the article Talk:Robert Palmer (singer). Hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. Do not continue to promulgate your Geraldine Edwards hoax on Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Tarantula. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Electric Wombat. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person on Prince Harry, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Electric Wombat (talk) 00:39, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit wars and questions

Hi - you posted on my talk page re: the Robert Palmer BS. I can't see any proof that the users you mentioned were banned/blocked. Can you point me in that direction? From what I can read, they seem to be able to get away with everything. Thanks for the info. Zabadu (talk) 22:06, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism, as you did to Robert Palmer (singer), will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia without further notice. Long-term abuse case page at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Geraldine Edwards hoax from San Diego. Persistent hoaxing using various San Diego IPs starting from January 2011. Binksternet (talk) 05:25, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

As we told you on IRC, this is not an issue Wikipedia can help with, sorry. 22:08, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Louisiana Creole people

The article "Louisiana Creole people" should include the Creoles people of Louisiana (both people of French and Spanish origin), not only the Creoles of French origin. the article name is not "Louisiana Creole people of French origin", but is "Louisiana Creole people". The article about the Creole people of French origin is the Cajun people article. So please, stop to delete information of article about Spanish Creoles of Louisiana.--Isinbill (talk) 14:46, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Al Smith has been reverted.
Your edit here to Al Smith was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXM-g-UAJiA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:01, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to United States Intelligence Community, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 18:25, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
