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 certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (81.157.179.180) 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! Thine Antique Pen (talk) 20:04, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Birmingham City F.C.— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 00:33, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

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 refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Birmingham City F.C.. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Shellwood (talk) 00:34, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. DMacks (talk) 02:50, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Punctuation changes

Hello. In reviewing some of the recent edits made by a user or users from this IP address, it appears that you have in many cases made good faith efforts to improve the encyclopedia. On the other hand, there are also examples where you have not followed the Manual of Style, and as a result, a certain amount of cleanup has been necessary. In particular, please note: Wikipedia prefers double quotation marks (MOS:DOUBLE) and certain abbreviations should be written with periods / full stops (MOS:POINTS).

It's possible that these cases simply reflect that you are new to editing Wikipedia. However, please take careful note when other editors point out that you are making inappropriate changes. If you repeat edits after being informed that they are incorrect, your editing might be perceived as disruptive.

Finally, please help other editors understand the reason for your edits by always providing an edit summary. Thank you. – Wdchk (talk) 03:11, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop changing double quotation marks to single quotation marks. This edit is a good example of where you have gone against the Manual of Style and introduced inconsistency into an article. Given that you are making some edits that seem to be constructive, I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. I was hoping that my more detailed explanation of the MOS might make further warnings unnecessary. Unfortunately, if you persist in mixing useful edits with edits that need to be reverted, you are just creating extra work for other editors. As a result, someone may feel that your editing is disruptive and you may be blocked from editing. Thank you for your attention. – Wdchk (talk) 03:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
