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:

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:

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 (74.42.44.210) 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 click here 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!  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 23:39, 14 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Dixie Dregs, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 02:39, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Big Smo, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:51, 1 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

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.

  Do not use multiple IP addresses to vandalize Wikipedia, like you did at Chuck Berry on Stage. Such attempts to avoid detection or circumvent the blocking policy will not succeed. You are welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia but your recent edits have been reverted or removed. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Block evasion by Special:Contributions/166.182.84.40. Binksternet (talk) 02:17, 22 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

This is a shared IP. No block evasion. 74.42.44.210 (talk) 22:00, 22 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

The block is working as intended. If you know nothing about it, you can either wait the block out, or request an account at WP:ACC to avoid this problem in the future. 331dot (talk) 23:16, 22 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

How is the block "working as intended" when you remove legitimate contributions and prevent people from restoring content maliciously deleted by vandals? 74.42.44.210 (talk) 23:22, 22 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

To me, the editing history of 74.42.44.210 looks like just one person, that person being User:Sugar Bear. And the location in Oregon is near a bunch of other Sugar Bear IPs, for instance Special:Contributions/74.42.44.222 blocked last month, the history showing disruption reaching back to 2015. Sugar Bear was recently prevented from using one of his favorite IP ranges, Special:Contributions/166.181.240.0/21, hence the unblock request here. The claim that the IP is shared appears false to me, and the unblock request is not made in good faith. Binksternet (talk) 21:13, 18 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

  It may not have been your intention, but one of your edits, specifically one that you made on The Cry of Love, may have introduced material that some consider controversial. Due to this, your edits may have been reverted. When adding material that may be controversial, it is good practice to first discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them, to gain consensus over whether or not to include the text, phrasing, etc. If you believe that the information you added was correct, please initiate that discussion. The previous discussion at the article's talk page led to a consensus of having both "studio" and "compilation" types in the infobox. Dan56 (talk) 20:53, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • I've briefly semi-protected this page to prevent further implausible ALL CAPS denials that we have previously seen from this IP. It's one thing to claim that you're editing from a shared IP address, but it doesn't make a lick of difference if all of the edits are clearly being made by the same individual.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:17, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
