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 (182.19.235.237) 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 (~~~~).--Biografer (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Nikolai Yezhov into NKVD. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

editPlease do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Penangite Chinese. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Vnonymous (talk) 13:07, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

editPlease stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Penang Hokkien, you may be blocked from editing. Vnonymous (talk) 14:49, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Zhangzhou dialect. Shellwood (talk) 22:06, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. --Moralis (talk) 19:25, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- Clarification to be certain: no matter how many times you delete references to a person's Hokkien background, Hokkien people will still exist. Knock it off. --Moralis (talk) 19:25, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
I removed them because there aren't any cited sources proving that these people have any hokkien ancestry at all.
- Well, then, I apologize. You really need to make that clear in edit summaries or on the articles' talk pages, because when you go around deleting a specific category from a boatload of articles, you look like a pretty typical vandal - especially when it's an ethnic identifier you're removing, and you've got previous warnings on your talk page! This is why it warns you that you should add an edit summary every time you alter an article. I appreciate very much that you did so on your most recent edit.
- Put differently, and obviously I now know it wasn't, but a large number of edits which appear to do nothing except to remove references to a particular ethnicity, well, hopefully you can see why that might look like a nationalist on a mission =P --Moralis (talk) 20:11, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Catlemur (talk) 19:40, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

editHello, I'm CASSIOPEIA. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Li Xiucheng, 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. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 03:47, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello, 182.19.235.237!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! It's Boothsift 05:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

editPlease do not attack other editors, as you did at March Tian Boedihardjo. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — MarkH21 (talk) 22:01, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Recent edits to Rwandan genocide
editHello, and thank you for your recent contributions. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edits 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! ―Susmuffin Talk 06:23, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
