Please help me with... I made edits to a page but forgot to sign in before submitting the edits. I'd like to include the article on my watch page and I certainly don't want it to look like I was trying to do something untoward by not logging in, so I'd like to replace the IP address credited with the edits with my user name. Can this by fixed? The edits are to the Strategic Defense Initiative article, dated as of today and attributed to 50.24.191.217.
Thanks!! Chad.newsome (talk) 11:17, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hey Chad. Edits cannot be reassigned, but you can take credit for them by making a dummy edit to the page, and using the edit summary to claim them as your own, such as "Note: The last edit by 50.24.191.217 was me while unintentionally logged out". That would be apt here, but in another case, where the edit was not the last or long ago, you might say something like "Note: The edit by 50.24.191.217 as of 10:47, December 22, 2015 was me while unintentionally logged out", or if you made a bunch then ""Note: The edit by 50.24.191.217 between TIME DATE and TIME DATE was me while unintentionally logged out" and so forth.
