Welcome!

Hello! I noticed your contributions to Orc and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Happy editing! Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:09, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

One small thing - please don't change citation formats in existing articles, certainly when these are well-established. The only exception is when an article is in a muddle and uses multiple formats, when some rationalisation may be necessary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:10, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Also, direct quotations must not be altered, punctuated, or have their spelling corrected. The only exceptions are that we can use square brackets to note changes, e.g. [sic] beside a mis-spelling, or if a word is missing we can add it in square brackets, like "[Smith]" if the author just said "he".

I've had to come back to you repeatedly; it'd really be appreciated if you could familiarise yourself with editing before working on live articles, you can use the sandbox for that. You may also like to note that Tolkien articles are in British English, where spelling and punctuation differ somewhat from other forms of English; and that the articles you've been editing are marked as "Good articles", i.e. they have passed a formal review and are thus agreed to be of good quality already. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:24, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

September 2021

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Orc. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Stop! I've welcomed you and asked you politely not to change citation formats, and the next thing you do is just that. Please don't, it's disruptive, and you can be blocked from editing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:18, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Galadriel, you may be blocked from editing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Galadriel. Could you please stop reformatting tables, citations, etc. There is nothing at all wrong with the existing format, and it is simply rude and disruptive to keep on changing them, without discussion, in an established and formally reviewed article, when asked repeatedly to stop.
