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).
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:
If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
Happy editing! I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me after replying off my talk page. Thank you. 22:52, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

February 2021 edit
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Talk:Chaska High School, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. What are you doing? Don't mess with signatures on talk page posts. You did not write that, let alone write it today. Meters (talk) 22:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- 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.
- Actually, I did make that post (although I might have done it under a different IP?), and I noticed yesterday that I had forgotten to sign it. I was unaware that signing with the four squigglies set the date to day, so I thought I was fixing a mistake I made previously. Sorry! 73.88.58.38 (talk) 17:02, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- Ah, I see what happened. Someone else actually removed your original sig. If it ever happens again you can get the original signature from the page history (as I did). It's not a good idea to re-sign with a new time stamp since it makes it appear as if the comment was added after responses which were actually left as a result of the original post. Meters (talk) 21:42, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
- You could also sign with ~~~ which will leave a sig but not timestamp, or use Template:Unsigned2 (or one of the other signature templates) to retroactively add a sig and timestamp. Meters (talk) 21:47, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

 | This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
