User talk:209.166.108.199/Archive 1

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the ones you made to Vermont. 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 (209.166.108.199) 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 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 (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;).

Happy editing! HopsonRoad (talk) 02:59, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Awesome Aasim. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Nordic people—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Aasim 22:34, 28 March 2020 (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.
 * This was not an experiment, nor anything else meriting template:uw-vandalism1 - it was the addition of an alternative name mentioned in the linked article. Thanks! 209.166.108.199 (talk) 22:38, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hah, good catch! Next time, you can give a source so it does not get mistaken as unconstructive. :) Aasim 22:42, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from using talk pages such as Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Editor Retention 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.

 * 331dot I think I see now. The message I see when trying to edit mentions the IP range "107.77.219.0/24", which was likely assigned to me when using a mobile hotspot for a while yesterday. You explained that autoblocks carry over from registered accounts; perhaps they carry over from IP addresses too. I understand that when I clear my cookies and wait 24 hours, the autoblock should cease to be effective - please let me know if I've got anything wrong. 209.166.108.199 (talk) 11:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That should take care of it. The cookies cause Wikipedia to "think" you are still on the other IP. 331dot (talk) 12:48, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Talk:Ilhan Omar, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:18, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Drmies this was not a test edit. If there was something you didn't understand, you could have asked, instead of reverting with the edit summary "What are you doing?" 209.166.108.199 (talk) 12:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC) Your revert also happened, for no good reason, to erase my comments in response to an ongoing discussion on that talk page. 209.166.108.199 (talk) 12:21, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
