A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Ber31. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! John of Reading (talk) 06:18, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Regarding IP "74.108.156.96"

Hi, I believe this IP address is an actual maniac vandal, so I think we do not need to further engage with him/her in User talk:74.108.156.96. I'm from University of Chicago, and this IP address has been meddling with UChicago's page these days. In addition, I read through the Talk page of Nobel Prize count, and I found that this IP address seems very likely to be the same person as User:PrincetonNeuroscientist, which has been blocked indefinitely because of sock puppet (of User:RabidMelon). This may explains why he likes to call others "vandals" and "sock puppets". However, he/she may switch to another IP address and continues his/her vandalism. 205.208.120.139 (talk) 08:50, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, the behavior of the IP user was extremely annoying. The IP user accused me of "mismanagement of the Nobel page" page without any evidence. After the discussion on the Talk page of List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation, there was a consensus that summer school-affiliated Nobel laureates shouldn't be included in the page. The IP user was not paying any attention to other Wikipedia users. Ber31 (talk) 06:41, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Please join the discussion on Nobel Counting Page regarding "Fairchild Visiting Program" at Caltech.

Thank you for your contribution for Nobel laureates counting page. Please join the discussion: Talk:List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_university_affiliation#The_issue_of_.22Sherman_Fairchild_Distinguished_Visiting_Scholar.22_at_Caltech. We need to reach consensus before further editing. The discussion will set up an example for many other universities. Minimumbias (talk) 08:14, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I will join the discussion. Ber31 (talk) 06:13, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Encouragement

Hi, I just wanted to encourage you to keep plugging away as an editor of Wikipedia. I, personally, find it best to minimise my involvement with talk pages. I only participate when I absolutely need to, otherwise, I tend to get tangled in banter that can take unexpected turns. That's just me, of course. Some people navigate variation better than I do. For now, my best, Attic Salt (talk) 18:15, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

@Attic Salt: Thank you. :) Your contributions are insightful. Ber31 (talk) 01:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from List of Princeton University people into Princeton University in popular culture. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 20:45, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Diannaa: I was clueless about that policy of this website. Ber31 (talk) 14:57, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
