Welcome!
editHello, 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
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 (178.221.153.102) 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 (~~~~). Mathglot (talk) 20:11, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

editThere were some issues in your recent edit to Catholic Church sex abuse cases by country having to do with attribution of quotations and verifiability, so unfortunately I had to undo it. But I see you attempted to address that, by adding a reference, so thank you for that. This ref was a bare url, however, so I expanded it to a full citation. Bare urls are a good first pass, but they are subject to link rot and provide less than full information to the reader. Please see Help:Footnotes about how to write a complete citation. You might also find citation templates such as {{cite web}}, {{cite book}}, and {{cite news}} handy for this purpose.
In addition, when quoting someone directly in quotation marks, see the In-text attribution section of the Citing sources guideline. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:32, 26 September 2018 (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. |
