Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

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:

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 (92.3.179.139) 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! Mathglot ( talk) 23:42, 25 August 2023 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Category:Jews by century and nationality, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please stop removing the ethnicity categories from Jewish categories. Many people consider being Jewish an ethnicity. Mason ( talk) 01:49, 6 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hello, I'm Smasongarrison. I noticed that you recently removed content from Category:People_by_ethnicity_and_century_and_nationality without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Information icon Hello, I'm Smasongarrison. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Category:Jews by nationality have been undone because they 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 Teahouse or the Help desk. Stop making this change.

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Category:American people of Afghan-Jewish descent, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Category:Israelites, you may be blocked from editing. If you want to change the category structure, you need to seek consensus on the talk pages Mason ( talk) 02:28, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Blocked

Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked from editing certain areas of Wikipedia for a period of one week for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.   Johnuniq ( talk) 22:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Please use the talk page of the relevant article or template to discuss proposed changes when your edits are reverted. Repeating them is edit warring and disruptive. Johnuniq ( talk) 22:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC) reply
