User talk:68.3.197.165

April 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm PAVLOV. I noticed that you made a change to an article, John Esten Cooke, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. PAVLOV (talk) 17:21, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 68.3.197.165, made test edits on the page Sea Hunt which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to perform. If 68.3.197.165 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.

Unfortunately, your addition of text regarding the Huntation Society is sourced to the Princeton student newspaper and is considered a bit of non-notable trivia; specifically because it is not discussed by any other third party sources. Wikipedia summarizes things that are already notable. It does not help elevate things to notability. My advice is to first get your story mentioned in a couple of third party reliable sources so it may then be considered notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

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, visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new users, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! - LuckyLouie (talk) 01:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On the Cooke: the racism is plain as day from the facts in the article but I understand it is standard Trumpian practice to ignore such things.

On the SeaHunt: thanks for making clear at such length that Wikipedia has no sense of humor.

I won't be back. 68.3.197.165 (talk) 02:58, 18 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.
