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 (202.1.197.114) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

editHello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Arthur Melo, 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 17:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

The Boss Baby
editHello new user! I see you already have links to the sandbox, WP:teahouse, and most importantly the manual of style in your welcome message - I would HIGHLY recommend reading/using these. They were were a great help to me when I first started. Especially, I would read the feature film plot section of the manual of style, first. I made this same error when I first joined - I mistook Wikipedia for Wikia/Fandom, where you have to put as much detail as possible to character and plot summaries. Wikipedia is not that, however, it is an encyclopedia. When you edited The Boss Baby, you added much extra detail which is good for someone wanting to find all the extended details of the film but bad for the sake of a concise, easily readable encyclopedia article. I would find the Boss Baby article on Fandom and see if the edits you put on this article have been made on it. If they haven't yet, that would be the place to put them. Summaries here are to contain only basics of info and are not to exceed 700 words (UNLESS consensus has been reached on the article's talk page that it calls for it, say in the case of a 3 hour long epic, but some of these can even be shortened). Here is a tool to make sure plot summaries don't exceed 700 words - hit "preview" so the links and extra words not going to actually show up in the article itself disappear, instead of "Save" at the end of your edit. Copy-paste the plot summary from the preview into https://wordcounter.net/, and then see what it says. That can also check your spelling and grammar while you're at it. It's been a great help to me. Thanks and again welcome! EEBuchanan (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
