A belated welcome!

The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, M!dgard. 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! — AfroThundr ^{(u · t · c)} 04:08, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Multiple inline templates on pages

Hi,

Please be aware that per WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM—a Wikipedia policy—editors are encouraged to "Fix problems if you can, flag or remove them if you can't" and that "Instead of removing article content that is poorly presented, consider cleaning up the writing, formatting or sourcing on the spot, or tagging it as necessary." I have reverted your edit on DevOps based on this policy.

Stallman

Btdubs someone just came by and wiped that entire section of the Stallman article and I have no idea how appeals work on wikipedia.

Appreciate your help making it better though. 173.24.39.178 (talk) 01:22, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

No problem! I'm not well versed in Wikipedia rules either. Anyway, in my opinion you gave the issue a bit too much undue weight (consider this is a hot topic and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia), but now it's a bit too short. Thanks for writing. Take care.

M!dgard, you are totally right. Stallman is being badly misrepresented. By the media, and by some Wikipedia editors. SimetraartemiS (talk) 02:04, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
