Welcome! edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Dennis Toeppen. 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:

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 (98.228.62.102) 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! tedder (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

February 2019 edit

  Hello, 98.228.62.102. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Suburban Express, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.

I also wanted to make you aware of Wikipedia's guideline on fair use of sources, specifically the section on text. "Brief quotations of copyrighted text may be used to illustrate a point, establish context, or attribute a point of view or idea...Extensive quotation of copyrighted text is prohibited." Your quote from Suburban Express's Facebook page was far beyond what might be considered fair use, and I removed most of it. Please do not add it back. If you'd prefer to replace it with a different part of the quote, please keep it brief and to the point. If you have further questions about what can and can't be used here, I encourage you to visit the Teahouse, a friendly place for new editors. Thank you.

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.

April 2020 edit

  Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:Andrew nyr has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Andrew nyr (talk) 21:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
