Welcome!

Hello! I noticed your contributions to Dallas 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).

Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Dallas, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Links in hatnotes to DAB pages must go through the (disambiguation) qualifier per WP:INTDAB. By my count, you have introduced errors into Dallas on ten occasions by removing them. Please stop. Narky Blert (talk) 12:13, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Must? Wikipedia has no firm rules. 109.225.76.100 (talk) 16:06, 15 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Most links to disambiguation pages are mistakes and end up on a list of links that need to be fixed, and cause more work for people who fix them. If all intentional disambiguation links include '(disambiguation)', then it saves time and prevents frustration for both reader and editor. Leschnei (talk) 22:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
It is every Wikipedia user's duty to know what they are linking to. 109.225.76.100 (talk) 17:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Canada, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 19:09, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

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 Dallas, you may be blocked from editing. You've been warned about WP:INTDAB before. Please stop edit warring to introduce edits that contravene it. Kinu t/c 16:28, 11 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Aja language (Nilo-Saharan). -- Wesoree (talk·contribs) 16:01, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I changed Aja people (Sudan) to Aja people (South Sudan). It is not vandalism. 109.225.76.100 (talk) 16:11, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
