editHello, I'm The Mirror Cracked. I noticed that you recently removed content from AJ Capital Partners without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

- 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.
Welcome!
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Ronald Reagan. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
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 (206.150.70.148) 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 (~~~~).
Happy editing! Sdkb (talk) 04:45, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- With regard to Talk:Ronald Reagan, your opinion in the Request for Comment will have greater weight if you are logged in. Many editors do not trust IPs in Requests for Comment, as they could be another user logged out trying to give their opinion twice. Sdkb (talk) 04:55, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Signing posts
editI'm surprised no one talked to you about this, or notified you about this now closed ANI thread Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#IP editor signing edit in a way that suggests a logged in editor. But just to let you know, with regards to this edit [1] and your next one, you should not sign your posts with a non existent user name. If you want to register an account, follow the advice above. If you don't want to do so, you should sign normally, using four tildes (~~~~) which will mean your IP address and date will automatically be added. If you want to add a name without signing up for an account, some IPs do so by writing it without making it a link before (or sometimes after) their normal IP signature. This is generally acceptable but you should make sure the name you use isn't likely to be confused with an account, or otherwise controversial. While some editors with accounts use customised signatures providing a link to their actual account name but making the displayed text different, this isn't likely to be accepted from an IP since it'll likely be seen as too confusing. Even an editor with an account needs to take care when doing this. Nil Einne (talk) 15:28, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
