Hello! I noticed your contributions to Voice of America and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 24.97.185.90, made test edits on the page Anastasia Gorbenko which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to perform. If 24.97.185.90 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I recommend that you get a username. You do not have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new users, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 20:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

user:HJ Mitchell, Drmies, why was I blocked for removing material without communication? That never happened.
