Welcome!
editHello, 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
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (72.201.104.140) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a new 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 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! Ry's the Guy (talk|contribs) 04:24, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

edit Hello, I'm CAPTAIN RAJU. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Massacre of the Latins— because it did not appear constructive. 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.

I can't ask a simple question?
editI really want to know if you have an account on here, because you seem like you know what you're doing here. Please answer; I would really love to know. Cyrus the Penner (talk) 01:57, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Oshwah. 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 Joanie Loves Chachi seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:23, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- I am not sure what you are talking about. Please explain on the article talk page, where I have begun a discussion. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 03:27, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
- It was my mistake. I thought the article subject was about something in real history. I just realized that it's actually about a TV Show. I restored your changes; please accept my apologies for the mistake. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

editHello, I'm XFhumu. I noticed that you recently removed content from Geevarghese Ivanios 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.

- As I explained in my WP:EDITSUMMARY, it was a WP:COPYVIO (copyright violation). By restoring it, you have violated copyright as well. Please cease and desist immediately or you will be reported. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 19:50, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- My bad sorry--XFhumuTalk 20:04, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you. No worries. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 20:07, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Categories
editPlease read WP:BLPCAT - "Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources." In other words, just because somebody might be Catholic or gay, don't add them to Category:Italian Roman Catholics or Category:French people who are lesbian.

- Uh, she did publicly self-identify. She granted an interview to a Catholic news site and discussed her prayer life. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 18:40, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, she did. So that's one of the two criteria. The other, though? Are the subject's beliefs relevant to their public life or notability? Not at all. She's a pop singer, not a noted Roman Catholic who also happens to be a pop singer. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 19:35, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
