Welcome!

Interested in becoming a regular contributor to Wikipedia? Create an account!

Your IP address, 199.249.227.29, is registered to Westport Public Schools and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution, 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.

If you are unable to create an account due to your institution's IP address being blocked, follow these instructions. If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your network administrator or instructor and request that your school contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user.

Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, consider a soft block using {{School block}}.

In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Educational institution staff and network administrators wishing to monitor this IP address for vandalism can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Please refrain from reminding this account that the edits are not constructive. The person in charge of the talk page of this shared IP address does not know what the other users of this account are editing, so please do not add reminders.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 199.249.227.29, made test edits on the page Donoghue which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to perform. If 199.249.227.29 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! Leschnei (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Luke. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. TJRC (talk) 17:54, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Riverbend21. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Draft:Red link example have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Riverbend21 (talk) 15:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Luke. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – dudhhr^talk _contribs (he/they) 15:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much! I've gotten many posts like this, so I'm putting a warning on top that says this account is shared and other people own this account, so I am in charge of the talk page and don't know that my coworkers are making edits here. This is what my friend who made this edit said:

"The edits were constructive. Sorry you think that it is "vandalism." Maybe take the time to look up Luke Calejesan instead of being like everybody else and blocking me." 199.249.227.29 (talk) 15:48, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This being a shared IP does not exempt it from being warned or temporarily blocked, nor does it come with any difference with vandalism policy. If, as you say, these edits are not being made by you, I suggest you create an account, as you will not have to deal with the actions of others.

I wouldn't create an account because I don't need one. I just have to respond to people in my organization that do vandalism because people comment on my account and I have to reply to them. 199.249.227.29 (talk) 16:15, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Luke. Favonian (talk) 16:04, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.
