Walter Görlitz, you recently left a welcome on my IP address, but it's unnecessary because from about 2005-2020 I did contribute under a couple of different names. I've found just grief and superfluous nitpicking and just about no positive encouragement or congratulation. I now just leave edits to my edits alone. If my contribution isn't valued, I'm not going to invest my feelings into it. It does nothing more than make me a target for aggression. And I suspect these issues are the fault of management under Jimmy Wales. So, I am deliberately not contributing under a name any longer. I expressed similar thoughts when I abandoned my first account. Embarrassed, I created a new account under a foreign phrase that roughly translates to "you are my drug" Because that's how it feels. I feel compelled to improve phrasing, structure and factual details of articles. But I can't engage with other users anymore, just to preserve my own mental health. 75.71.166.197 (talk) 20:10, 7 January 2022 (UTC) (I'm not sure what the four tildes will show here, perhaps just the same IP.
Welcome to Wikipedia!
I'm Walter Görlitz, 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.

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.

Hello, I'm SunDawn. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Fage—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 00:11, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
