The gauntlet[edit]
Hi Hushashi,
Welcome back to Wikipedia by the way (at least according to your edit log.) I couldn't help but notice that you have been the unfortunate object of some of the rather arbitrary "gauntlet" that most newer editors have to perhaps "sort out" when they first get here, and I apologize for that. For now, if you don't mind, I'll give you two "hints" that might help you a little to achieve a higher "success rate" in your edits.
- Do all of your edits while logged in properly, especially on contested pages. There are a number of software programs that automatically increase your likelihood of having your edits reverted, when you edit anonymously without being logged in.
- Whenever you make an entry in a "talk page," always sign off using 4 tilde's like this "~~~~" at the end of your message. The Wikipedia software will then convert your 4 tilde's into a cool looking signature.
If you might happen to feel absolutely "mystified" again, you are welcome to leave a message on my talk page.
Thanks, Scott P. (talk) 17:09, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
User pages[edit]
One more thing… If on your user page, you fill in something, anything, even just put an X there, your name will no longer appear as "red," to others, and will instead then appear to us as "blue." Having a red username is like a flag for everyone to see that you probably don't yet really know what you're doing here. Blue users are really so much more "cool." Thanks, Scott P.

Signing in[edit]
After looking over some of your edits a little more closely, it looks to me like you might have been doing a little more editing than I first thought, and possibly doing that anonymously, while not signed in under this user name. I hope you use this user name as much as possible, because it will tend to increase the respect and credibility associated with your user name, and to cause others to automatically grant you the assumption of "good faith editing" more quickly. Thanks, Scott P. (talk) 18:06, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
