Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you  [ create an account] . Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (83.170.111.154) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place  before the question on this page. Again, welcome!

Also: thank you for your nice and very useful work on IPA pronunciation. If you find Wikipedia interesting, by all means consider creating an account. GregorB (talk) 12:08, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for making personal attacks towards other editors. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice:.

False accusations (and other accusations without evidence) go against our policy on personal attacks. If you have any real evidence that a user is engaging in sockpuppetry, file a report at WP:SPI when your block is over. Note that "not allowing you to POV-push conspiracy theories" is not considered valid evidence of sockpuppetry. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:03, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't follow your rationale. The IP claimed a history of edit-warring and linked a dozen edit-warring reports to support it. You blocked them for unsupported accusations of sockpuppetry. I don't see any accusation of sockpuppetry and the accusation of edit-warring was supported. Can you explain? 146.185.29.210 (talk) 02:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * 83.170 accused a user of editing under multiple accounts to supposedly edit war, and only provided evidence that the accused editor had reverted POV-pushing without violating WP:3rr. There is an accusation of sockpuppetry, and the accusations of edit warring do not match the common definition thereof. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:32, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I really think you're mistaken. Please re-read:
 * The IP's arguing a pattern of edit-warring, linking multiple 3RR filings over several years. No accusation of sockpuppetry whatsoever. 146.185.29.210 (talk) 02:40, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The first sentence "first as FCYTravis, then polarscribe" is an accusation of sockpuppetry. Your failure to understand that wouldn't happen to be because your IP address geolocates to the same location as 83.170, would it? Ian.thomson (talk) 02:42, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The editor himself has disclosed these former accounts! That's not sockpuppetry and not an accusation of sockpupetry. 146.185.29.210 (talk) 02:44, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Where? Where have they disclosed these accounts? It doesn't appear in the history of their userpage either.  Given the shared geolocation and tendency to make unevidenced accusations and total failure to understand WP:3rr, it's starting to look pretty clear that you're just evading the block on this IP.  Ian.thomson (talk) 02:59, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Eek, lots of archives to search through. Here's FCYTravis->polarscribe, give me some time for the other. I am not this IP user and I don't know this IP user. It doesn't look like you blocked access to their talk page so there's no block to circumvent here... 146.185.29.210 (talk) 03:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I found it but it's an article where the editor is quoted linking his wiki account to his real life identity. It appears he outed himself voluntarily but I'm reluctant to link it on-wiki and violate WP:OUTING. How should I handle this? Meantime I'll try to find something on-wiki with no outing. 146.185.29.210 (talk) 03:36, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Vaporizer (inhalation device). 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. bonadea contributions talk 15:45, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
