Thanks![edit]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Jesse. Something approaching a majority of my total human knowledge comes from Wikipedia. I've been editing it here and there for basically its entire history, from a wide variety of IP addresses. This has always been anonymous, but I like to think I have been generally conscientious about it. Mostly I fix grammar or ambiguities.

I could go ahead and create a login, I suppose. But I guess my question is, "why?"

I feel my edits explain themselves, and maybe I even see a certain purity in the anonymity of editing: if they aren't correct, they should be backed out; I don't need the appeal to authority of "well this guy sure edits a lot, maybe we shouldn't kill his edit."

I recognize how a login might be useful to somebody in the core community, who really works on this stuff a lot. I admire you guys, I really do. I should probably join up and get serious. But fundamentally I'm also just really hilariously lazy.

If there are less obvious reasons a login might be useful to me, I'm interested, at least in principle.

Thanks again.

Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Bad Boys (1983 film). I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

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 (67.6.197.146) 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 click here 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! JesseRafe (talk) 14:28, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Tdc42. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Chris Collins (American politician) seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Tdc42 (talk) 05:14, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Chris Collins (American politician). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tdc42 (talk) 05:20, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Chris Collins (American politician), you may be blocked from editing.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Chris Collins (American politician). Tdc42 (talk) 05:24, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Literally nothing I said was inaccurate. It's not a "neutral" point of view to pretend this person was something he wasn't.

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits.

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 ~~~~}}. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:45, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

Yeah, nice work there blocking me after no edits post-warning.

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.
