Hello, I'm Jauerback. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Sub-Saharan Africa have been undone because they 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 Help Desk. Thanks. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 02:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

I understand what I did but I was just trying to remove something I did not want there and I went about it the wrong way. I apologise. I wanted to contact Wikipedia but have failed to do so. I have made an account after accidentally editing without an account, which I thought would link my previous edit to my username but it didn’t. I am interested in writing articles on Wikipedia and editing the ones that misinform people. I just wanted for those edits to be under my name. Is there any way that can be edited?

Thanks in advance!

Many people start by editing without creating an account first, and then do so. The pre-registration and post-registration edits are not combined. Each article has its own Talk page. That is the place to start or respond to comments about the article. It appears that you removed content from Sub-Saharan Africa and someone else restored it. Lastly, to sign your name, type four of ~. The way to indent a comment is to type one or more of : at the beginning.

Hello, Question also asked on simplewiki, there are also several answers. One way to link your account with this IP is to declare it on user page. You can use a "userbox" (on enwiki or simple), it will have for code:

{{userbox | border-c = #000000 | id-c = #FFFFFF | id-op = font-size:large; | id = [[File:Puppeter template.svg|45px|border]] | info-c = #ffffb1 | info-s = 8 | info-fc = #000000 | info-a = center | info = '''[[w:Sock puppetry|Aliases]]'''<br />I have for aliases [[luxo:YOUR_IP|YOUR_IP]] }}.

But this IP will be visible to everyone, while normally IPs are not open to the public for a registered user! Do not forget to sign your discussion. --Eihel (talk) 07:59, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

IP

Ho Jason, If you've accidentally been logged out (and inadvertently revealed your IP) you can email oversight who will remove the IP from the history,
If you've been editing as an IP prior to creating an account then I'm afraid it cannot be removed but if you're worried then I would suggest simply making note of your IP now, turning off your pc and then resetting your modem/internet and then obviously turn pc back on - Resetting the modem should give you a new IP :),
Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 15:55, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

@Davey2010: Will do!! Thank you for your help Davey!! 😄

You're welcome :), It's happened to us all on one occasion or another :), Anyway no worries, Happy editing! :) –Davey2010^Talk 21:10, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
