Welcome! edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Nate (name). I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

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:

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2604:2000:E016:A700:8DFF:2984:6957:DE54) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a 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 click here 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! JesseRafe (talk) 14:04, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

February 2018 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nate (name). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 21:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

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

  Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:JesseRafe. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. There was no threat to be blocked there, but your edits are nonetheless inappropriate. The template is a warning to read the tutorials and the MOS and edit accordingly, you're not a new user.

  • Hey Jesse -- One can assume good faith. But .. when an editor proves that they are not engaging in good faith -- as when you left that completely bizarre message -- they wipe out that assumption. The assumption doesn't live through bizarre, non-good-faith accusations. Like "Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nate (name). Your edits appear to be disruptive... please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. " That can't be seen as good faith under the circumstances. If I call you bad names, and you say "hey, that's not nice," do i get to say: "Well, how about this, let me throw an "please assume good faith" card at you." Of course not. It's ridiculous. 2604:2000:E016:A700:8DFF:2984:6957:DE54 (talk) 23:53, 8 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of New York University alumni, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SparklingPessimist Scream at me! 00:34, 9 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • What did you have in mind? You re-added names that did not have wikipedia articles. And did not have reliable sources showing the people to be notable. You need one or the other. Is it that that you are referring to? If it is, then you seem to have left a template that doesn't make sense. Because it refers to adding information, not deleting it. 2604:2000:E016:A700:8DFF:2984:6957:DE54 (talk) 01:11, 9 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Oh, I didn't add them, I reverted your edit because it appeared to be section blanking. My mistake. Sorry about that. SparklingPessimist Scream at me! 01:27, 9 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
