Welcome to Wikipedia!
I'm Yitbe, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do. 196.188.75.56, Welcome to Wikipedia

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
~~~~
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
STOP INVALID EDITS
edit@196.188.75.56: Stop unnecessary edits as you did to List of cities and towns in Ethiopia. It's called WP:Vandalism and may put you on blocking from editing. Please read WP:Policy for more. - Yitbe A-21 14:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Cordless Larry. Your recent edit(s) to the page Amhara people appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:11, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Amhara people. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:18, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Arjayay. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, North Gondar Zone, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 08:22, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Finote Selam, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 08:23, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Bahir Dar, you may be blocked from editing. - Arjayay (talk) 08:25, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Gondar. - Arjayay (talk) 08:26, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Gondar, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - Arjayay (talk) 08:28, 23 August 2022 (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. |
