Welcome!
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
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 (115.70.29.185) 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 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! —PaleoNeonate – 04:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit] Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:The Heartland Institute for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.
Please also note that Wikipedia is not subject to censorship laws (WP:FREESPEECH). Its material is subject to policies including WP:RS, WP:CITE, WP:NPOV (which is not WP:FALSEBALANCE), etc. Instead of only complaining, please propose specific changes as well as sources to support them. I have left a welcome message with more information about Wikipedia. Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 04:05, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Please don't edit comments or remove them if they've been responded to - this includes if the discussion was closed with a comment by someone (as I did). -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 02:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edit on the page Talk:Antony Blinken added material which is not related to the subject of the article. Please do not do this as such edits are not constructive. If you like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you. Mathglot (talk) 08:16, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
