== Thanks for the welcome ==

I do prefer anonymously editing, even if it does have the occasional downsides (for example, you'd think by this point there'd be a site-wide whitelist of "non-spam" domain names or at least that the system let you pre-emptively answer the captcha rather than taking further clicks whenever you add a new source). --181.115.61.87 (talk) 20:31, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

  • You're quite welcome; That may be one of the major benefits of creating an account in your use case. Wikipedia does offer the autoconfirmed user class for user accounts that are at least four days old as a way of mitigating the use of the CAPTCHA requirement for most edits. However, I can certainly appreciate the desire to contribute anonymously using an IP address handle. Please feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions regarding user account creation or general editing in the future! Tarheel95 (Talk) 20:35, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Aztec Records

Hi Tarheel95, I see that you are a great contributor to Wikipedia and that you have contributed a lot to avoid all kinds of vandalism. Since you like music so much I thought you could help me with an article I'm developing.
Draft: Aztec Records I am a Spanish wikipedian and I have met this record label that specializes in electronic music. It is still a draft, but I would like if you could help me to improve it. Thank you very much. --RafiUbeda (talk) 15:40, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

  • Hi there, I'd be glad to assist with this; I'll take a look soon and see if I can help to improve the draft. Happy editing! Tarheel95 (Talk) 22:21, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
