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 certain number of days and made a certain number of edits.
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (142.161.83.66) 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 (~~~~).

Post-nom formatting
[edit]Hello 142! (I assume) Please see WP:POSTNOMS for details about the Arbitration Committee's rule relating to style changes. This is the same rule that appplies to other styles with multiple options such as dates, spelling, reference styles, etc. I see that you have changed the style of multiple post-nominal letters when adding the post-nominals letters template. Please ensure that the added template retains the previous style, or as the rule states: "defer to the style used by the first major contributor
". The "first major contributor" isn't related to the template. I have reverted your change to the style at Ernest Nicholson, where you removed "|size=100%|sep=," as this is the established standard used in that article. You have done similar things with other articles but I don't have the time to go through and change them back. Perhaps you could do this? Thank you, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 13:08, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- This isn't optional. Please stop changing the established post-nominal styles. For your beefit:
Where this manual provides options, consistency should be maintained within an article unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable.
Where Wikipedia does not mandate a specific style, editors should not attempt to convert Wikipedia to their own preferred style, nor should they edit articles for the sole purpose of converting them to their preferred style, or removing examples of, or references to, styles which they dislike.
- It will just take a little longer for you to do the proper checks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 17:59, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Christian comedy, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:37, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- 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.
