Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Somerset Levels. 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 certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (81.174.138.226) 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! — Rod ^talk 10:59, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop tagging articles about distant historic events with {{why}}. There are a lot of things in history that we don't quite know why: tagging it in a Wikipedia article is not going to help much... The purpose of the "why" tag is when there is something which is unclear (not "unknown"), and this can be fixed through regular editing.

@RandomCanadian: I appreciate that some history is unknowable due to lack of sources. Nevertheless, there is surely discussion among historians as to why the crusaders massacred Jews in Germany. Even if the reason is debated, some suggestions must have been made, which should be mentioned in the article. I don’t know them myself, hence the tag is the best I can do. The tag is an indication that clarification would be beneficial, not a criticism per se. 81.174.138.226 (talk) 00:21, 8 November 2021 (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.
