Welcome to Wikipedia! 

Hello IP user. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Please remember to: The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the Insert-signature.png button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes  at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's talk page, and a timestamp.
 * Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Changing date formats
You need to be careful when changing date formats. At the very least, you should explain why you're making the change. MOS:DATE addresses the manual of style around date formats. In short, MOS:DATETIES states that some nations or organizations have ties to dates. For instance an American civilian subject is to use November 20, 2018 (MDY format) while a relates subject in the UK or Australia should use 20 November 2018 (DMY). Computer articles will more likely use 2018-11-20 (ISO-8601 format). There are other subjects, such as the Canadian one that you changed, that can use either and we should investigate why a date was chosen and apply the suggested rules at MOS:DATERET. To summarize: 1) explain your edits 2) don't change date formats without investigation. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:08, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
