Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! MPS1992 (talk) 08:53, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello
I see you recently posted the following comment to my talk page; "Prior to 1991, A British 'Special Forces' Staff Sergeant, Henry Catlin, had 89 confirmed kills. Several of which were well over 2000 metres, using an Accuracy International rifle." I wasn't sure why, so I had a look at your editing history and saw the only article you've edited is Longest recorded sniper kills. I also saw that your edits were reverted (meaning undone/ removed). While the article was restored to the last version that I edited, I'm not the one that reverted your edits. That was. It appears your edits weren't supported by reliable sources. But, that doesn't mean I'm suggesting you now go and post your comment on his talk page. If you have a comment to make about an article or an edit you made to an article, then you should post it on that article's talk page. (and make you click the link at the top that says "New section" when you do, and after you post your comment, make sure you sign it). Since you're new here, you should read through some of the information linked in the 'welcome' post above, before you try to edit any more articles. If you need any help, go to the Help Desk. Thank you - the WOLF  child  23:32, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Longest recorded sniper kills. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions.  'Note: You cannot add this content without attaching a reliable source. Trying to add it while logged out or using a different IP address makes no difference. The page is being watched, your edits will continue to be promptly removed if you do not add a source. Also, continued behavior like this is considered disruption and can lead to you being blocked from editing.  - the WOLF ' child  13:51, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Longest recorded sniper kills while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. - the WOLF  child  13:53, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello again
Since you tried adding that info about "Sgt Catlin" to the Longest recorded sniper kills article, (which was removed due to WP:OR), it has been re-added three more times since, each time by a different IP user (users without a registered account like you have) and each time it has again been removed as there was still no reliable source to support the info. These three IP users are all from the same city and use the same ISP. I don't know if this is you or not, but there are administrators here with special tools than can trace the IP addresses of account users and it is also possible to link different IP accounts as being the same user. People who use unauthorized multiple accounts, especially for disruptive editing (which repeatedly adding the same unsupported content is) can be blocked from editing. If this isn't you, then don't worry about it and feel free to disregard this message. However, if this is you, I would strongly encourage you to stop using multiple IP accounts or editing while logged out and, stop trying to re-add that content, unless you can find a source to add with it. There is no way that information can be added without a source, and there are enough users watching the page (which means they're automatically notified of any changes) that any unsupported info will always be promptly removed. This is just friendly advice from one editor to another. Cheers - the WOLF  child  16:42, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
