You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (98.217.181.54) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! --Anna Lincoln (talk) 09:42, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
June 2009 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Pokémon Gold and Silver. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Calling other editors "morons" is simply unacceptable, and the grammar was already correct. MelicansMatkin (talk) 22:07, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
November 2009 edit
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Marriage&curid=15951954&diff=323279879&oldid=323273247. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Hardyplants (talk) 18:36, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

July 2011 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to The College of William & Mary has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.
