You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating 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 (174.77.220.178) 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Eric Clapton are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 09:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC
Got message
Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the rules and guidelines. Could you send that page to me? I'm new at this and considering signing in and learning to edit.
Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, such as you did with the article Talk:Robert Palmer (singer). Hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. Do not continue to promulgate your Geraldine Edwards hoax on Wikipedia.Binksternet (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit wars and questions
Hi - you posted on my talk page re: the Robert Palmer BS. I can't see any proof that the users you mentioned were banned/blocked. Can you point me in that direction? From what I can read, they seem to be able to get away with everything. Thanks for the info. Zabadu (talk) 22:06, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism, as you did to Robert Palmer (singer), will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia without further notice. Long-term abuse case page at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Geraldine Edwards hoax from San Diego. Persistent hoaxing using various San Diego IPs starting from January 2011.Binksternet (talk) 05:25, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!
Please use the {{help me}} template appropriately. The {{help me}} template is for help in using Wikipedia, not for unrelated issues. If you would like to ask such a question, replace the code {{help me-inappropriate}} on this page with {{help me}} to reactivate the help request.

Louisiana Creole people
The article "Louisiana Creole people" should include the Creoles people of Louisiana (both people of French and Spanish origin), not only the Creoles of French origin. the article name is not "Louisiana Creole people of French origin", but is "Louisiana Creole people". The article about the Creole people of French origin is the Cajun people article. So please, stop to delete information of article about Spanish Creoles of Louisiana.--Isinbill (talk) 14:46, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Al Smith has been reverted. Your edit here to Al Smith was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXM-g-UAJiA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:01, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply] If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.
The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.
