User talk:71.105.97.64

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 (71.105.97.64) 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!  16:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

UofSC
Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page UofSC. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should: Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 13:39, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
 * Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
 * Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
 * Only add a " red link " if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
 * Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
 * Do not insert external links or references

Thank you for the clarification. However, the disambiguation page for UofSC mistakenly lists the Univ. of Southern California and Univ. of Southern Colorado, neither of which have ever been referred to as UofSC. Only University of South Carolina uses that designation. (The confusion may come from the fact that all three schools at some point used USC as an abbreviation.) I therefore think only South Carolina should be listed on the UofSC disambiguation page. Thanks for your help! 71.105.97.64 (talk) 14:00, 28 July 2019 (UTC)


 * You're right. There's no mention of UofSC at the other universities - thanks for pointing this out. I have changed the page back to a redirect to University of South Carolina and put a short discussion on the talk page. Leschnei (talk) 13:37, 29 July 2019 (UTC)


 * That's great! Many thanks. 71.105.97.64 (talk) 15:43, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, The Conversation (website). While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. aeschyIus (talk) 21:57, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Distance education. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Bennv123 (talk) 11:30, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

The added link was to a published article. It was appropriate.
 * Then cite the academic journal it was published in rather than blogspot. Bennv123 (talk) 11:36, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

The blog page includes the full article and has been cleared for use for other full-text copies as well.
 * A citation like this may be more appropriate then:
 * Deflem, Mathieu (2021). "The Right to Teach in a Hyper-Digital Age: Legal Protections for (Post-)Pandemic Concerns". Society. 58 (3), forthcoming. Retrieved May 19, 2021 – via Blogspot.
 * Bennv123 (talk) 11:53, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I've partially restored your edit here and here. Bennv123 (talk) 12:05, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks for the help!
