Suggested WikiProjects

Hey RickEakman—thanks for your recent contributions. I noticed your interest in Wikipedia's video game content and thought you might be interested in the video games WikiProject. We've done some great work (over 250 pieces of Featured content and over 800 Good articles), but there is plenty more to do. Come say hello on our talk page, participate in our current events, or let me know if I can help with anything. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope I'll see you around. -- ferret (talk) 20:01, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I know you've been around a bit, and I know it's a huge banner with a ton of links, but it may have some help leads to get you going. Definitely check out WP:VG for the Video game project and helpful content focused on video game articles. -- ferret (talk) 20:02, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Is accessing Wikipedia through Tor Browser a bannable offense? I use it only when i want to use it for accessing things from beyond my web block at school.

No. It is perfectly possible and allowed to read Wikipedia through Tor, but editing through tor is generally not possible without an ip block exemption. Pppery 18:02, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
