Please do not bite me.

I have a developmental disability that makes it very difficult for me to communicate with neurotypicals and to comprehend the Wikipedia Policy pages. The stigma is one reason I do not make an account traceable to my real identity. Please do not assume I am being "intentionally" difficult just because I don't understand something. Accusations to that affect are a major trauma trigger for me. Please be sensitive to the fact that I have a disability and a traumatic history of being attacked and verbally abused offline and online because of my disability. When I don't understand other people it's already painful enough for me without being personally attacked over something I was born with and can't change.

Please do not communicate to me with the robot-like templates, they are so generic that I can't understand what they mean and they feel callous to me. If you use generic form letter templates I can't tell you apart from a bot. If I break a Policy by mistake, please tell me the specific way my specific edit broke the rules and please refer to the rules by name instead of the confusing acronyms and jargon.

If I try to cite my sources and totally screw up the citation markup, please just fix the markup and leave a polite note here telling me the markup was incorrect, with a link to the fixed article/section, so I can look and see what the correct markup looks like. I am trying to learn Wiki markup and so far I have failed to learn it. 2601:441:4400:1740:7CBB:F534:DB2F:42BC (talk) 16:36, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

January 2022[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages (including user talk pages) such as Talk:Welfare state are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Confusing templates I don't understand[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the [[:|article's talk page]], and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at [[:Talk:Welfare state]], you may be blocked from editing. The section has been removed per WP:NOTFORUM. Please do not restore it. Kinu ^t/_c 03:35, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Talk:Welfare state has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. The edit itself was OK, and I was actually going to do the same, since the topic was actually related to building an encyclopedia even if it did include borderline chatting and soapboxing. However using that edit summary was uncalled-for. Mako001 (C) (T) 03:37, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which "edit itself" was OK? I am so confused. 2601:441:4400:1740:7CBB:F534:DB2F:42BC (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2022 (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.
