Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. 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 (84.46.53.255) 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! ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

Changing comments

modifying your comment the way you did just makes things more confusing. Just add one in line after the reply next time.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:08, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

You misunderstood what I tried to say, therefore others will also misunderstand my "DEnglish", and you removed my first attempt to explain it from your talk page as gibberish: An IPv4 ending with 255 is often used as "broadcast" address, 0 is often used as "gateway"address, and NOTHERE is often used for hopeless cases wrt WP:CIR. –84.46.53.255 (talk) 05:22, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, so reply like this, in order.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:08, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

We mostly agree, especially on "waste time". My attempt to not violate the admin request "Please add new comments below this notice" on the AFD page is covered by WP:REDACT:

• Any inserted text should be marked with <ins>...</ins>, which renders in most browsers as underlined text, e.g., inserted.
• Best practice is to add a new timestamp, e.g., ; edited ~~~~~, using five tildes, after the original timestamp at the end of your post.
• To add an explanation of your change, you may add a new comment immediately below your original or elsewhere in discussion as may be most appropriate, insert a comment in square brackets, e.g., "the default width is 100px 120px [the default changed last month]", or use [[WP:CURRENTSECTION#New section|<sup>[corrected]</sup>]] to insert a superscript note, e.g., ^[corrected], linking to a later subsection for a detailed explanation.

Yes, but leaving something like a comment "oh, sorry, I meant x" next in line is much simpler. Getting along in Wikipedia is valued. Jumping between IPs and citing policies is much less valued.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
