Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

• 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 certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (121.73.69.213) 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!  SchreiberBike | ⌨  05:26, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see you've made changes to List of birds of the Pitcairn Islands and some other articles. Without citations or an edit summary, I can't tell why you are making those changes. Are they vandalism or are they based on reliable sources? Please let us know. In the mean time, I'm going to revert those changes, but they can be put back if they are there for a good reason. Thank you,  SchreiberBike | ⌨  05:28, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No one is so boring that they would be doing what you are doing as vandalism, so it looks like you've got a good reason for your edits. Please use edit summaries when you edit. It's the long white box above "Publish changes". What is the source for the changes you are making? It's much easier if other editors can tell why you are making changes. Keep up the good work.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  04:25, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

I noticed your recent edit to Maui Nui ʻakialoa does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Doterel-class sloop, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Anchiornis, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 03:28, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
