1.42.66.60

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

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (1.42.66.60) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a new 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! ^{Babymissfortune} 07:08, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Richard Arvin Overton. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted.

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Longevity, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Slim Whitman

Re this edit. Despite my best attempts to invite you to discuss this, you have now made this edit three times in rapid succession and so are in breach of WP:3RR. Can you not see that an opening sentence of "Ottis Dewey "Slim" Whitman (January 20, 1923 – June 19, 2013), born as Otis Dewey Whitman, was .." has unnecessary repetition, made worse by the emboldening? The original version "Slim Whitman (January 20, 1923 – June 19, 2013), born as Otis Dewey Whitman Jr, was .." was a stable version agreed by consensus. Would you kindly discuss your proposed version at the Talk:Slim Whitman? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:47, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!   — Jeff G. ツ 15:21, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Recent edit to Oliver! (film)

Hello. I noticed that you made an edit that introduces praise or promotional language to the Oliver! (film) article. On Wikipedia, we adhere to a neutral point of view (NPOV) and avoid promotional language or puffery. Please read the NPOV policy page, as well as this page of language to avoid to better understand how to expand this article in a style suitable to an encyclopedia. If you have questions, please see the Help Desk page. Thank you! Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 18:35, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Sheila Kennelly, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 21:11, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Recent edit to Featherdale Wildlife Park

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! apap04¿ (talk) 03:21, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Recent edit to Waiter.com

Please refrain from making edits involving personal observations, and making edits to paragraphs using faulty grammar. I had to undo several edits to the page because of poor formatting and bad grammar, as well as disrupting the information already present. Refrain from making any further edits until you can brush up on English grammar. Kaylahawk (talk) 23:17, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Wilf Carter (musician), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 09:08, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
