You may also want to take the
Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the
Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to
Miocene, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been
reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your
sandbox. Thank you.

Mass addition of images
This
request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.
This user and
MUSSA DEUS MASUNGA (
talk·contribs) seem to be the same person, who is adding images to a number of articles in an indiscriminate fashion.--JetstreamerTalk 13:22, 24 July 2021 (UTC)reply
Looks like they are participating in a contest discussed here:

Laterthanyouthink, yes, there are numerous folks doing this kind of work. Not much to do except revert where necessary and improve the rest.

Edit summaries, use of multiple accounts, and responding to messages
Please provide edit summaries which briefly indicate what each edit is doing. Repeatedly posting an edit summary which will mean nothing to most editors is not helpful.
Unless there's a good reason for doing otherwise, please stick to one account. If there is some good reason for using more than one account, then on the user page or talk page (or better still both) of each account you use post a note saying what other accounts you have used, and why. Using multiple accounts without explanation can cause various problems, such as making it difficult for other editors to keep track of what you are doing.
Please respond to messages from other editors expressing concerns about your editing.

I echo the above. Using an edit summary of "#WPWP #WPWPARK" is entirely unhelpful. Please stop doing this. Please see
Help:Edit summary. --

Hello Mohamed mfuu! Your additions to
Zahra Karinshak have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the
public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see
Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid
copyright and
plagiarism issues.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper
paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create
copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to
verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not
original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images.
Fair use images must meet all ten of the
non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the
public domain (PD) or under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also
Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be
blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. If you are participating in a drive to add images, then you must follow all guidelines for adding images, including respect of copyright. That may mean doing a little due diligence on images you find at Commons. Thank you. —C.Fred (

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be
used abusively. It has been
blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse. Note that multiple accounts are
allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be
reverted or
deleted. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the
guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{
unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the
Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.
Administrators:Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by
administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's
privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an
IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee
may be summarily desysopped.
hi sir, sorry you blocked me for a reason that we are using same ip addess group of peaple at a time, that is because we was using router so that we was use same gateway.
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an
administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the
blocking policy).

Decline reason:
I can't speak for the blocking admin, but usually when we block people for this reason it's about more than just using the same IP address. —

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the
guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
