Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions&#32;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 (2601:47:4001:E830:B0AD:8640:B532:ACDD) 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;).

 * thanks, but that ship sailed years ago. word of advice though, just from personal experience: it's not worth getting involved in the drama or working your way up to adminship - the rewarding part is writing articles. you're relatively new, and quite eager (perhaps a little too much so - is it customary to leave welcome templates for so many IPs these days?! and come on, this guy was a vandal but almost certainly not a sockpuppet of a user who hasn't edited in years and never touched the tooth page, etc.); my point is, don't get caught up in all the button pushing. the drama and admin work never ends and it ain't worth it. writing a quality article that informs people will have a more lasting impact. just my two cents. 2601:47:4001:E830:B0AD:8640:B532:ACDD (talk) 04:37, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Howdy Hello! Pretty bizzare comment pal...why aren't you logged in? You clearly know your way around. The IP welcomes are part of the standard Huggle installation. And Foofy v.2 seemed like an oddly suspicious name, and sure enough there was a Foofy v.1. Perhaps my warning them of sock was incorrect. I like writing articles too! But I also like reverting vandals too, so I try to balance it out. There are many jobs to be done to support the project. Its like gardening: sure planting seeds and picking vegetables is the most fun part, but if you don't pull the weeds you won't get any produce! But overall, your advice: pretty pessimistic.

 * why aren't i logged in? because i quit wikipedia. it became a massive time suck where everybody seemed too obsessed with yelling at each other instead of writing articles. to extend your botanical analogy: you can spend all day pulling weeds but after a while, you realize that they'll just keep coming back if you don't dig out the taproot. and the taproot here encompasses all of the bureaucratic stuff... why do you think there are so few active admins anymore? 2601:47:4001:E830:B0AD:8640:B532:ACDD (talk) 05:08, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
