User talk:108.45.29.72

Welcome!

Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account!

Your host, pool-108-45-29-72.washdc.fios.verizon.net (108.45.29.72), is part of a pool of dynamically allocated addresses and is registered to Verizon Fios. It may be shared by multiple users, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register).

Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking.

The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.

In the event of vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports can be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock.

Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Paine Ellsworth, 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.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:

The five pillars of Wikipedia

Editing tutorial

Simplified Manual of Style

The basics of Wikicode

How to develop an article

How to create an article

Help pages

What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:

Don't commit vandalism

If you need further help, you can:

Ask a question

or you can:

Get help at the Teahouse

or even:

Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Fight vandalism

Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome

Help contribute to articles

Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you

Help design new templates

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 (this IP's talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 21:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2016

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Rockstar Games. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 22:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016

Hello, I'm Eteethan. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Guitar Center— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Eteethan(talk) 21:54, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Synchrony Financial, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. James (^talk/_contribs) 06:36, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First lady

Good point. Gender-neutral i.e. First spouse? But then if we elect a same-sex couple? First partner or First home-maker? ;oP Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:46, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the term becomes, it will be interesting. BTW: This is Bill Clinton. How about "First ladies' man" /snark. BTW: try wp:notifications i.e. {{ping|Jim1138}} Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 02:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lakelands Park Middle School, you may be blocked from editing. Just Chilling (talk) 23:06, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! 80.221.159.67 (talk) 02:48, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Michael (gorilla)

I removed "silverback" from your infobox addition. A silverback is a dominate male, not a breed. I am not sure what species of gorilla Michael was. You might want to change the species to something else. See gorilla#Evolution and classification. If my poor memory serves me, was probably a western lowland gorilla or mountain gorilla Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:32, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MS-13

Please see the note I left for you on the MS-13 article talk page. Thanks much.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
