Hello, I'm AlexTheWhovian. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Once Upon a Time (TV series), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

How shall I cite the Fable graphic novel? What is an acceptable source for the novel itself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reactorred (talk • contribs) 22:22, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Sturgeon-class submarine, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. - wolf 16:05, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sturgeon-class submarine. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - wolf 15:52, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Talk:Sturgeon-class submarine while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. - wolf 21:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, before discussing IP addresses, I'd like to confirm you have an adequate understanding of how they work. Do you understand how they are assigned and reassigned, plus how they related to MAC addresses? Do you understand how DHCP works as well as IP forwarding behind providers?

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. - wolf 21:03, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I think I edited from my work computer, not realizing the oversight. Honestly, the wiki talk setup is not great IMO, I say that as a professional software engineer of over 20 years and plenty of that in UX/UI design, but I get it, wiki has its legacy :) I see now this is the "User" talk area and I was in the page's talk area previously. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reactorred (talk • contribs) 00:32, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
