Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Markus Hess. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write.

 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

That was not a joke edit. Please refer yourself to the Jargon File's (the canonical list of computer jargon) entries on "hacker" and "cracker." The correction I provided can be verified there. 173.16.188.221 (talk) 22:19, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
