Welcome!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Jeremy Thorpe. 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
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 (112.199.129.242) 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 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! Clovermoss (talk) 19:16, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
A wish from me
editHey,
So I’ve seen you removing (correctly placed) spaces after periods. You shouldn’t do that, since spaces should be after periods

- Yes! See MOS:FULLSTOP for the relevant section in the Manual of Style. -Fnlayson (talk) 15:44, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Non-free content use
editThank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page, specifically User talk:112.199.129.242/sandbox, may fail our non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:09, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi IP 112.199.129.242. It appears that you're interested in improving various logos, etc. already uploaded as non-free content to Wikipedia; so, it might be a good idea for you to take a look at WP:NFCC and better familiarize yourself with how non-free content can be used on Wikipedia so as to avoid unintentionally violating this policy. Here are a couple of things you might find useful.
- Non-free images can only be used (i.e. displayed or enabled) in the article namespace per WP:NFCC#9, which basically means that cannot be used on any page in any other namespace such at the sandbox you created or at places like WP:GL. You can if you want add links to non-free file pages using the colon trick, or use a template like {{GLNF}} for any requests you make at the WP:GL.
- While it might seem helpful to request that png, jpg and other file formats be converted to svgs, this is not always allowed per WP:NFCC#1. It's not really clear whether converting a non-free file to svg causes a new copyright to be created for the svg code per c:COM:SVG#Copyright, which is why WP:FREER states that only official vector versions released by the original copyright holder should be used for non-free files. Many of the non-free png, etc. logos you asking to be converted to svg, therefore, may end up being deleted violating Wikipedia's non-free content use policy.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to ask them at WT:NFCC or even WP:MCQ.
Finally, if you're going to be creating sandboxes where you'd like to work on things like images, then you'd might want to consider creating an account. An IP address can be used by anyone who just happens to have been assigned the same IP, which means anyone can basically remove your sandbox using the same IP and nobody would know it wasn't you. An IP address can also be geolocated to find out where it originates from. A user account, on the other hand, is only supposed to be used by one person, and the IP address associated with is not publicly visible. Moreover, the account will be password protected which emans nobody should be able to log in to the account but you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:36, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
Block evasion and SO
editIf you want to come back here, you almost certainly need to follow the standard offer; even if your change your editing behaviour, you will still be blocked as a sockpuppet unless you are unblocked on your main account. Galobtter (pingó mió) 13:12, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
![]() | This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
