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

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 (69.145.167.104) 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.

Happy editing! Mathglot (talk) 03:06, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Montana
Hi, you were right about the state fossil of Montana. However, it's a basic principle of Wikipedia that changes to articles should be supported with citations to reliable sources. Have a look at Wikipedia's Verifiability guideline. When you add information to articles like you just did, please make sure to create a citation (i.e., a footnote) for it. I had a quick look, and there are lots of articles out there that can be cited to verify the state fossil. Please pick one that looks reliable to you (a local newspaper is fine) and if you can write a footnote citing it, and add it to the article, that would be great. There are some templates you can use that will help you create a footnote; see cite book, cite newspaper, and cite web. See Help:Footnotes. Thanks; and again, welcome!
