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).

Happy editing! DBaK (talk) 19:53, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've added a welcome because your more recent edits seem to be more serious. The only problem is you still have to give references for factual changes. I don't want you to get fed up with getting reverted but it's a real risk. If you look at some of the links above you can find sources of help with this. Hope this is useful, cheers DBaK (talk) 19:59, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia, and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Swona. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. DBaK (talk) 00:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Swona. DBaK (talk) 12:25, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours to prevent further vandalism, as done at Island_of_Stroma.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:57, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Ben MacDui. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
