User talk:108.65.1.168

February 2011
In a recent edit to the page Prisoners of the Sun, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ʙʌsʌwʌʟʌ  spik ʌp!  08:43, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome... Hello, 108.65.1.168, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I recommend that you get a username by clicking  [ sign up] . You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. As a registered user, you gain the use of an appropriate username of your choice, a personal watchlist to which you can add articles that interest you, the ability to start new pages, and much more. Also, your IP address, 108.65.1.168, will no longer be visible to other users. Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and ask your question there. In addition: Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article English Mastiff, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Again, welcome! &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 22:50, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Referencing in Wikipedia
Hello,

Please read this carefully as it is important.

When a Wikipedia article says something like this:


 * The whale was 20 m long.

That's shorthand for "According to the reference you can find out about by clicking on the, the whale was 20 m long."

In a real article, clicking on would take a reader to the References section of the article, which would contain details about the source that said the whale was 20 m long.

If you change the "20 m" without changing the reference, you are introducing an error into the Wikipedia article, because the source that's cited still says "20 m". If you want to change the "20 m", you must change the reference, too. Normally the information about the reference is written in the underlying wiki-text between. You should only change the source if you have a good reason, such as finding a newer or more reliable source. Wikipedia has a guideline about identifying reliable sources.

Please feel free to contact me at my talk page for any reason.

All the best, Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 14:37, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at African Bush Elephant, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Apparently the one-month block (above) hasn't had the desired effect. Seduisant (talk) 23:14, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Mayur. I noticed you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide verification for your edit. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! Wikipedia articles are written by people like you and me, and we care a lot about the quality of the encyclopedia. Please help us make it better. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks,  Ma yur  (talk•Email) 05:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
