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

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (70.175.133.222) 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 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! -BigDwiki ^talk 00:57, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks For correcting the Shaximiao Formation age, before two months ago this article was a complete mess and called the Dashanpu Formation, which doesn't even exist, and that error had existed since 2006. Thanks for the help. I can't thank you through the button because you are an Ip user, but take this post as an equivalent, I hope you stick around. Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:42, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Please stop deleting dead links

Hello there. I realise you think you're doing this encyclopaedia a service by removing non-functioning links. Unfortunately that's not the case. Dead links can still be useful to verify that (at least once) a statement was true, plus it allows others to research and find archived versions of that source. If the dead source has gone, we're simply just stuck. So please don't remove any more dead links. See Wikipedia:Link rot for further details. By way of example, you can search on an existing dead link at https://web.archive.org/ and often find a replacement. Thus, for Archaeopteryx, I found this replacement link. Would you kindly add it please as a replacement link to that article? I'm going to go through I have gone through your recent edits and potentially reverted all such deletions. Hope you're OK with this. Best, Nick Moyes (talk) 00:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Struthio linxiaensis a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

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.
