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

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 (82.173.160.29) 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 (~~~~).

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) @ 20:16, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for this welcome message! :-)

I have 20 years of experience with driving LPG cars. I am more than happy to share my knowledge, if I believe I can help people. :-)

Sadly enough, I have ran into edit wars with Wiki-bureaucrats and wiki dinosours so often, that I usually don't even bother to contribute to Wikipedia. I gave up long ago, when I found out that some Wikipedians bar useful information from being published, because they categorically distrust non-registered users, or because they categorically state that newspapers are more reliable sources than discussion forums or videos. It depends: If 20 road engineers dominate a serious discussion board about road construction, their information could be well more accurate than a random newspaper article from a random journalist, not specialised in this subject. If one of those serious engineers is posting a video on YouTube, showing an unexpected early opening of a newly constructed road, I trust the images of that engineer more than the lazy journalist who only relies on a phone call with some official of a far away ministry of transport, without checking the situation on the spot.

Rules that are often useful to prevent Wiki-pages about average subjects from derailing can really discourage people with specialised knowledge to invest many hours of typing to share their information on Wikipedia, when it gets deleted in 10 seconds, based on a too strict interpretation of those rules! :-(

Hello, I'm Diamond Blizzard. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to New Europe Bridge seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Diamond Blizzard talk 05:35, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Manifold Destiny (cookbook), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in European route E6, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Meters (talk) 22:34, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Victim of unwarranted block - Please help

This is user 82.173.160.29 who stubbornly refuses to register with an account at Wikipedia. Once and a while I blow off dust from orphaned Wikipedia pages with outdated information. Together with friendly CommissarDoggo I was working on this article on the English Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:2023_Stenungsund_landslide

Suddenly, I have been hit with an English-only block of my IP-address, based on fake accusations of sock puppetry. Let me clarify that I do not work for somebody else. My goal is to help Wikipedia where I can, to battle against censorship and avoid discouraging of new users.

After all I did to retrieve the truth and nothing but the truth, backed by dozens of references, this fake accusation of sock-puppetry feels rather insulting to me. Administrator ‪Ohnoitsjamie should read the article IP users are humans too and explain why (s)he has blocked me.

Can somebody please explain to CommissarDoggo that he will have to finish and publish the article we were working on by himself? Or could somebody from Sweden please help CommissarDoggo to sift through the Swedish source material that I have left on the talk page at 2023 Stenungsund landslide?

Last but not least, no censor can stop me from writing that Wikipedia sometimes is a pit of poisonous snakes, attacking their best writers. Do not believe you just made me cry. This block could be a blessing in disguise and save me tons of time. I just pity you for the help you loose. 82.173.160.29 (talk) 22:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

​Hello CommissarDoggo! I am not sure if you had already noticed, but I can no longer help you with editing the article about the landslide at Stenungsund junction, because I have been falsely accused and Wikipedia has blocked me for one month, with no access to a fair appeal procedure. You have done a wonderful job with editing the article that I had started to translate. You may consider it your article now. Please don’t wait for me and publish as soon as you feel ready. Please write something discreet on my talk page or the talk page of the article, or in the editing history to let me know that you have noticed my block. I hope this hidden ping message will work, without causing any further trouble. 82.173.160.29 (talk) 22:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Yup, I've seen about all this and plan to submit to WP:AFC when more information arrives surrounding the investigation and, presumably, the court case. Thanks for your work and for the large list of citations, it helped a bunch. CommissarDoggo^Talk? 15:03, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

These 2 weblinks just might be very interesting reading material for Wikipedia's administrator ‪Ohnoitsjamie:

Meanwhile, I wish you good luck, while you are chasing all the volunteers with good faith away. :-/

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).

82.173.160.29 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Accusations of me being a sockpuppet are false. I deeply hate dictators and my thoughts are not for sale, not even for 10 million Euro. Please look up the French singer Florent Pagny and the lyrics of his song Ma liberté de pensér (my freedom to think); This song is sacred to me. I have seen no valid proof and no valid explanation for being blocked. In a decent country any suspect would be not guilty until convincing proof has been presented before a judge in a fair trial. An encyclopedia like Wikipedia should not tolerate administrators who stop people from making positive contributions to Wikipedia without any valid reason, because Wikipedia needs all these volunteers. The fact that I happen to speak and write several languages and that I have refused to register an account does not warrant a block. On the contrary, I have always tried my best to correct wrong or outdated information and I have provided lots of references, so I would assume that one could give me the benefit of the doubt or ask me a question, before hitting me with a 1 month block, while I was in the middle of editing an article about a landslide. 82.173.160.29 (talk) 22:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

---

Decline reason:

This unblock request is utter nonsense. The idea that the only way we should be able to block an IP address is if a literal judge is involved is ludicrous and indicates you either fundamentally misunderstand private websites or are outright trolling. I suspect the latter. Yamla (talk) 09:27, 9 July 2024 (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.

---

Administrator Yamla fails to understand my comparison. You are always welcome to invest hours, days, or weeks of your precious time to make Wikipedia better, but you have no rights whatsoever. You should always expect a poisonous snake to bite you when you least expect it. Wikipedia's administrators can ban you, even when you have done nothing wrong. Wikipedia's administrators will not try to explain to you what you have done wrong, or they may not even bother to investigate into what the reason for your 1 month block could be, if your words in your unblock request do not please them. I am well aware that Wikipedia is a world of itself, where civil judges are unheard of. I have no intention to bring a real lawyer into this matter, because after wasting my time, I will not also waste my money. I just wanted to point out to what extend contributors to Wikipedia are thrown back into the dark era of the Middle Ages, when it comes to claiming the right to a fair trial, or in this case, I would rather say, a fair procedure for being unblocked. That, Yamla, is my honest opinion. I find this whole block ludicrous and utter nonsense. Nobody will stop me from writing what I behold as the truth, whether you like it or call it trolling. That being said, I will enjoy the time of my block, for I can spend that time on things that will be more appreciated than fighting a bunch of bigots who turn red-faced whenever they see an IP editor without an account, even though Wikipedia's policy says that IP editors have the same rights as editors with an account. 82.173.160.29 (talk) 10:26, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

If you don't plan to make a proper unblock request, don't. Rants like this will get your talk page access revoked. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:02, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Which, indeed, is about to happen. Ymblanter (talk) 12:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Links to draft articles

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to European route E6 and Nordland Line. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

November 2024: "Show preview"-button

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to European route E6, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

The Show preview button is right next to the Publish changes button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Douglas Santana (talk • contribs) 23:51, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your attempt at showing me the way. I always use the show preview-button, but I am a human being, not a perfect machine. When adding archived versions of references, I rather add them one by one, to prevent loosing large quantities of text. Sorry about clogging the list of recent changes, but I have this habit of explaining what I have changed and I think I have done nothing wrong. If my edits made in good faith are not appreciated, I'd better go to bed now, get some sleep and dream that somebody else will add archived versions to the remaining 50 references. 82.173.160.29 (talk) 23:59, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
