User talk:47.202.87.121

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 47.202.87.121, has made edits that do not conform to our policies and therefore have been reverted. I assume that this IP user is the same person or is somehow connected to this other IP user, as edits from both geographically similar accounts have made very similar edits on articles about the Southwest Florida area. As I explained on the other IP's talk page, some of these edits are fine, but there's a pattern of trying to reclassify locations in the Bradenton/Manatee area as not being in southwest Florida, to the point that this IP user placed an incomplete articles for deletion template on the main Southwest Florida article. There aren't many active editors working on Florida articles these days, so I don't want to drive anyone away. However, Wikipedia is an exercise in collaborative writing, so you MUST use talk pages to discuss controversial changes. See below for more info on good editing practices.

For more information see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.

Some good links for newcomers are:

May 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Southwest Florida. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Zeng8r (talk) 14:01, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Template:ManateeCountyFL-geo-stub, you may be blocked from editing. Zeng8r (talk) 20:06, 5 July 2018 (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.
