Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.
Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now
create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to
Articles for creation if you prefer.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to
create articles yourself without posting a request to
Articles for creation.
Somehow I made one request before the template on the talk page was published. I made another request from the template when it was finally published, so there is a first request floating around randomly alongside a second that is connected to the template on the talk page. Sorry about that.

Irritance
I assume this: [
[1]] was in reference to my edits that you deleted on
The Lego Movie (franchise). It is extremely disrespectful to call someone an IP editor when their account is logged in at all times. I looked at your account, and it doesn't seem to be a month old, so that explains the confusion.
I understand I may have fluked when it came to
Piece by Piece (2024 film) and I appreciate your enthusiasm and contributions for this site, but you can't just jump without a parachute. If you are unsure of how to value edits from people who are logged in and people who aren't, I would recommend
Wikipedia: Help desk,
Wikipedia:Teahouse, or
Wikipedia:IP editors are human too if you're looking for an answer to this specific situation. I understand your account is recent and I will give you some flack for your mistakes, but mislabeling other users, especially when they take good pride in their years of edits, is not something that will be tolerated. Thank you.

Oh no, we all seem to be deeply confused here. There was another IP editor doing that before your contributions, you probably might have been confused by their edits. I am deeply sorry for the confusion in making it seem like I was attacking you here, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.
I have been watching this article and surrounding due to
paid editors creating trouble, around this subject. If you will direct your attention towards the Piece by Piece article history, one intern created content without disclosing their paid contributions; the editor I linked to removed the paid content that they added on 7th June. I am again deeply sorry for you getting caught in the crossfire, and I must stipulate, your work here is much appreciated.

Again, this is not about IP editors in the subject of them being IPs, but rather that there are COI edits being made which potentially disrupt the articles, and such information was recently causing problems. I want to further touch on that I never meant harm to you based on your contributions, but that we all seem to be catching the wrong ideas here. Check out
Draft:Pure Imagination Studios here, you'll see they have been editing disruptive, blatant promotion, (and false information in trying to credit their company as a production co. in the Piece by Piece when it is not by any means of clear sources).
I really, truly mean no animosity towards you, it just seems that we have all fell victim to a massive misunderstanding.

[
[2]] this should be the link where Theroadislong, an editor that seems pretty respectable on a first glance took the paid content out. I believe that you saw a (likely unrelated) IP account add vague and untrue information to the lego movie franchise article, which you expanded under the untrue (and very reasonable) understanding that it was true info. Hey, we all get confused sometimes, it's all not a very big deal in the long run. Much love to you, and good feelings for all!

UPDATE: another IP editor has been
doing the same thing today regarding the disruptive promotion on the Piece by Piece article, which
was again reverted. Sorry for coming off as absolutely dismissive of IP editors, but there seem to be a few around this subject, connected or not, that are causing issues around this subject. One of which made edits that factually confused you, and which I unceremoniously, unrighteously caught you up in. I again apologize distinctly for that.
