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

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• 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 (82.173.160.29) 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 (~~~~).

Thank you for this welcome message! :-)

I have 20 years of experience with driving LPG cars. I am more than happy to share my knowledge, if I believe I can help people. :-)

Sadly enough, I have ran into edit wars with Wiki-bureaucrats and wiki dinosours so often, that I usually don't even bother to contribute to Wikipedia. I gave up long ago, when I found out that some Wikipedians bar useful information from being published, because they categorically distrust non-registered users, or because they categorically state that newspapers are more reliable sources than discussion forums or videos. It depends: If 20 road engineers dominate a serious discussion board about road construction, their information could be well more accurate than a random newspaper article from a random journalist, not specialised in this subject. If one of those serious engineers is posting a video on YouTube, showing an unexpected early opening of a newly constructed road, I trust the images of that engineer more than the lazy journalist who only relies on a phone call with some official of a far away ministry of transport, without checking the situation on the spot.

Rules that are often useful to prevent Wiki-pages about average subjects from derailing can really discourage people with specialised knowledge to invest many hours of typing to share their information on Wikipedia, when it gets deleted in 10 seconds, based on a too strict interpretation of those rules! :-(

Hello, I'm Diamond Blizzard. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to New Europe Bridge seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Diamond Blizzard talk 05:35, 20 July 2020 (UTC) reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Manifold Destiny (cookbook), 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Engine cooking has been reverted.
Your edit here to Engine cooking was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yF-7LcMHTn8) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! -- XLinkBot ( talk) 04:18, 17 November 2020 (UTC) reply
If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Please stop adding non-encyclopedic material to List of roads in Iceland. I recommended you to read WP:NOT to see what should be added to Wikipedia and what not, but apparently you decided to edit-war and ignore our policies.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 09:17, 11 April 2022 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#82.173.160.29 and List of roads in Iceland. Please respond there if you wish.-- Ymblanter ( talk) 12:22, 12 April 2022 (UTC) reply

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. The topic is "Disruptive IP." -- Jprg1966 ^(talk) 23:35, 31 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in European route E6, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Meters ( talk) 22:34, 9 March 2024 (UTC) reply
