Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello IP user. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Stop following my edits

Again, stop following my edits. This is the last time I suggest it in a polite way. The next time I discuss this, it will be at an administrative board. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:41, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

From what I've seen, the user has only made two edits, with only one being involved to you? dibbydib ^💬/_✏ 01:45, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

@Dibbydib: If only an IP address could never be changed. The editor from Ottawa (and other side trips) has been been following me for at least six months. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:56, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

​ Ah. Checked over the edits. Maybe you'd like to send this issue to the noticeboard? dibbydib ^💬/_✏ 01:59, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

​ I am letting the anon in Ottawa take one more shot at not hounding, and then I will. The edits have been from multiple ranges as well, some IPV6 as well. I suspect a previously blocked account based the editor's intimate knowledge of Wikipedia policy, guidelines and MoSes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

​ However, if you'd like to start the discussion, I would be pleased to offer my evidence. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:10, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I have read what you say here and elsewhere. I don't know what you're talking about. I have never even been to Winnipeg. I am not a world traveller who is going from place to place to cover my tracks while I'm undoing your edits. Could it not be possible that when you make mistakes, others correct them? Maybe you should seriously consider those corrections rather than flying into a rage, making wild accusations, and engaging in edit wars over minor stylistic or grammatical issues. 142.112.229.157 (talk) 22:03, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

P.S.: Here's something posted by an editor in Seattle at the same time that I'm here, in another country, defending myself from your attacks: [1]. Clearly, more than one person has a problem with your edits - or, more accurately, your insistance that no one can alter your edits. The fact that you've been blocked multiple times (17 times, by my count) would also suggest that its not just one editor with whom you have a problem. 142.112.229.157 (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Tim Miner shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:07, 5 December 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.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. dibbydib ^💬/_✏ 02:15, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
