Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

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

@Kirbanzo: Two simple questions a) why? b) why didn't you tell me who you were, and what authority you have?

Hi IP user. I'm an administrator here, and I'm looking into your question. I've removed it from WP:RFPP (again) because it's in the wrong place and it's breaking the way that page works. Give me a minute and I'll get back to you here. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 16:00, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Giving you several minutes. I just wanted to ask a perfectly reasonable q on refdesk, and cannot.

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.
