Welcome to Wikipedia!

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

I'm Sm8900, 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!

Sm8900 -- Thanks. Can you explain why someone blocked out and hid my edits on a number of articles? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChangesLinked?hidebots=1&hidecategorization=1&hideWikibase=1&target=Rich_Fellers&limit=50&days=7&urlversion=2

They don't seem to like it to be reflected that this fellow has been suspended, though RS covered.

They even delete his name from lists of .. people with his name! Argument? "To list Fellers on a list of people named Fellers you must have a ref." And "does not improve the article to list Fellers .. on a list of people named Fellers." I do not joke. And I cannot see who did the hiding@! I'm staring at the article history! 2603:7000:2143:8500:A45B:E4AA:91E9:A3F9 (talk) 06:07, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

hi! sorry, but I really can't tell. maybe try the wikipedia:help desk? --Sm8900 (talk) 06:10, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

It's just bizarre. If it continues, where would I bring it, so someone arms length and not connected with these editors would look at it? 2603:7000:2143:8500:A45B:E4AA:91E9:A3F9 (talk) 06:14, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
