Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello IP user. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Walter Görlitz, 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:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   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:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

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   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

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

Please 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 IP's talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello, can you please stop reverting the edits as you did on Mike Kenny (swimmer), because if you will revert again, I will need to report you, since your reverts are a part WP:Edit war and cannot be tolerated. Thanks for your understanding.--170.135.176.108 (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Also, your edit regarding font sizes in Reza Dana article is blown our of proportions. I seen many articles here use it and it is OK. And with edits such as you did to many of my other articles which I edited, accusing me of disruptive editing (while doing pointless edits of your own), is ridiculous.--170.135.176.108 (talk) 20:39, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

While reverted edits by this user which stripped spacing from articles, I pointed to MOS:SMALLFONT which advises editors to avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as Infoboxes, that is don't use {{small}} in infoboxes. Bankcorp 108 does not seem want to follow that guideline and many others. His reasoning for the way he edits articles seems to rest wholly on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and rather than following the examples of the templates, documentation and other guidelines.

If you don't want to follow the guidelines then try following the example of Good Articles and Featured Articles. -- 109.78.203.221 (talk) 16:07, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Starhops shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --170.135.176.108 (talk) 21:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

I reverted several edits by this user, which stripped spaces from articles. His response to my reverting his edits was to accuse me of vandalism. He could have tried WP:BRD but went straight to the Administrators Noticeboard instead. I disagree. -- 109.78.203.221 (talk) 15:56, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
