User talk:47.20.134.124

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Lettuce. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

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 minimum number of days and made a minimum number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (47.20.134.124) 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 click here 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! HiLo48 (talk) 00:09, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Hillelfrei. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Lise Meitner, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hillelfrei ^talk 04:29, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Thanks

Thank you for following up with me when I sent you the original message about citing. You did it perfectly here. Let me know if you have any other questions about editing Wikipedia, I'll be happy to help. Hillelfrei ^talk 05:26, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hillelfrei, the famousscientists.org source does support the text, but the chessgames.com source doesn't. Either way, I wouldn't categorize either as a WP:Reliable source. I will ask about famousscientists.org at the WP:Reliable sources noticeboard. No need to ping me if you reply. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:23, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I just got a WP:Edit conflict. I see that you commented below. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 23:24, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lise Meitner; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Hello, IP editor. It is true that I told you that the source was fine, but that was before I realized that it was a mirror website to Wikipedia, which can't be used. Then you added a second source, but that source doesn't fit the criteria at WP:Reliable Sources. Please read the edit summaries of the users who reverted your edits and take them into consideration. At this point, you may not add it again - we have a rule called the 3 revert rule which means you can't revert or re-add content more than three times if it is reverted. Instead, you may start a discussion on the article's talk page and {{ping}} the editors who reverted your edits to notify them of the discussion. Alternatively, you may wish to forget about it because you most likely have more important things to worry about than whether Meitner's article identifies her father as a chessmaster :) It's up to you, but the bottom line is - please don't re-add it. I felt the need to reach out because I gave you misleading information about the source originally, so please let me know if you have any questions. Again, sorry for the incorrect information I gave you the first time. Please don't take it personally that your edit was reverted three times, sourcing is generally a very hard thing to get right. Kind regards, Hillelfrei ^talk 23:19, 21 May 2020 (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.
