You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (47.223.90.202) is used to identify you instead.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}}
before the question on this page.

Wikipedia and copyright
editHello 47.223.90.202! Your additions to Greg Abbott have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Linguist111 (talk) 12:42, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
"Former" politicians
editPlease don't add "former" in front of the names of elected officials. What your edit indicates is that this person is no longer in office. Please either add a source which supports that they have left office, or find out who the new person in office is, and add their name with a source. Thanks.

. - You also violated the policy on Biographies of living people with your edit to White House Press Secretary. Never do anything like that again. Cullen328 (talk) 00:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- The edit wasn't even done by me, it was from someone else, wish there had been a warning atleast. 47.223.90.202 (talk) 00:53, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- That is incorrect. The history of the article shows quite clearly that it was this IP address that added the forged defamatory image File:4186910 - Jen Psaki fakes politics.jpg to the article. If your IP address is shared with other people, then register an account when the block is over so that you do not get blamed for the disgusting vandalism of someone else.

47.223.90.202 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Hello, I do apologize for the edits of the one sharing my IP address, I usually am the only one who uses the address to edit here on wikipedia, I always do my best to provide constructive edits and if my edits are reverted I always respect the editors action and never engage in edit wars. My record on here is overall clean and I would never vandalize like my associate has done. I have a registered account which I will start using from now on. I hope you understand I will do everything I can to ensure this will never happen again. Thank you
Decline reason:
This unblock request is dishonest at best. Please make your next request from your account. SQLQuery Me! 03:50, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

editHello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Sam & Cat while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. As a condition for being unblocked log in to edit Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:32, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

editHello, I'm A09. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Wanda Williams because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. A09 (talk) 19:58, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

editPlease do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to John Bel Edwards. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Vizzinifezzikwomanchuck (talk) 18:51, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

editHello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Jim Geringer, 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.

editHello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Bob Peeler, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 10:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Chellie Pingree. Thank you. — Manticore 21:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Rob Wittman, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

editPlease do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in 1970 Michigan gubernatorial election. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 09:28, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please do not oversize maps. It makes them difficult to read on mobile devices and is contrary to the Manual of Style. Adakiko (talk) 09:32, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
