A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, 178.255.168.37! 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 still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Try the Task Center.

Do you know about the advantages of getting a free account?

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have had an account for a minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits. If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (178.255.168.37) is used to identify you instead.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! — Safety Cap (talk) 03:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for reverting your recent experiment with the page Flying Pig Marathon. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead, as someone could see your edit before you revert it. 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, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Lena Schöneborn, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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) 07:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I just translated the unreferenced info from the German wiki page since I know German and many wiki pages in English lack the details of foreign athletes profiled (stubs?), and online news in German also included such added info. I have an MA in German from UIUC and am myself a retired marathon runner... I gather from your statement that I should refrain from making any changes on any wiki pages from now on - is that the jist of your message? 178.255.168.37 (talk) 10:16, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
