Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account! Your , so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. Network administrators, to monitor this IP address for vandalism, can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format. |
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Faces (Star Trek: Voyager). 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 (72.141.106.240) 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 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! JACKINTHEBOX • TALK 12:01, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits. P.S. We don't put a space between the end of the sentence and the reference. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:39, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks #User:Philafrenzy, I put the space after citations because I have trouble seeing what is text and what is citation in editing mode. I wish Wikipedia would delineate the difference in subtle colour to make editing easier. I also find the citations crowd the text. The editor will auto-delete any extra spaces in the final text. Thanks for your comment. 72.141.106.240 (talk) 17:55, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- Try "Syntax highlighter" in Preferences/Options. What editor is that that removes the spaces? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:58, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- #User:Philafrenzy PS: is my # symbol working? Tx for the tip, I will try it. As for the space removal, I find the "wiki editor software" does it automatically like right here. chrs 72.141.106.240 (talk) 19:05, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- #User:Philafrenzy I've been using the Syntax Highlighter. What a gem! Thanks for the idea. Saving me hours. 72.141.106.240 (talk) 23:52, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Aranya. 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 Kate & Anna McGarrigle 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. —Aranya (talk | contribs) 01:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- 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.
- Hi Aranya . I'm assuming you are referring to the word "beloved" as an adjective. I figured I was walking a thin line there, but it raises a smile that the word would be reverted after only 5 minutes. Ironically, although I can't be bothered to find a citation, the McGarrigle sisters are truly beloved by numerous Canadians and others, including Emmylou Harris, etc. Some artists are "popular" etc. The McGarrigles were very special, and truly were beloved. I don't really care. You are technically correct, from a Wiki sense, but dead wrong, from a perspective of truth. I'll bet the word "beloved" has been published 10 times about them. However, I appreciate your polite tone, and the world will continue. peace. 72.141.106.240 (talk) 01:33, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- Ok! Sounds good. Best wishes and happy editing. —Aranya (talk | contribs) 01:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
