Welcome[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 82.132.214.74, made test edits on the page Dundonald Castle which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. If 82.132.214.74 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

I recommend that you get a username. You do not have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! David Brooks (talk) 19:38, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

November 2018[edit]

Hello, I'm Waggers. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Neighbourhood Watch (United Kingdom)— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. Waggers TALK 16:19, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

August 2022[edit]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing from certain namespaces ((Article)) for a period of 24 hours for edit warring.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. —C.Fred (talk) 21:09, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is it that you don't understand plain English common sense guidelines, or that you simply couldn't care less about article quality? 82.132.214.74 (talk) 21:12, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:3RR is plain English. You violated it, so I blocked you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:14, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Others need to be in an agreememt with those changes to reach a consensus, not just yourself. Tropicalkitty (talk) 21:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And even if something is seemingly written down in policy, you need to follow WP:BRD. You make a bold edit, you're reverted, you discuss it. You don't just immediately revert back to your preferred version. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 12:39, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.
