A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Amandil21! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! Helen(💬📖) 20:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

August 2021

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making edits on Wikipedia pages such as those you made to Guns N' Roses, without first discussing your changes on the article's talk page, Your edit(s) require discussion to establish consensus as this is considered a type of change that other editors should be allowed to comment on. Your edits do not appear to have been discussed and have been reverted. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:41, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:FlightTime, I have brought this up on the talk page as you asked. Amandil21 (talk) 01:11, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Jason Collins, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, follow MOS:UNITSYMBOLS. —Bagumba (talk) 00:57, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

You have been mentioned here: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/SunCrow Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:26, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Snooganssnoogans, whoever this SunCrow character is, he appears to be taking up a lot of your head space. ~~The detailed way you analyzed his edit histories and editing habits in connection with the sockpuppet investigation is almost obsessive. (Do you think you may have an OCD issue?)~~ It's too bad SunCrow got unfairly railroaded off Wikipedia. In his heyday, he was effective in protecting the encyclopedia by calling you out on your POV-pushing, which is clearly why you can't tolerate any editor that even reminds you of him. Who knows? Maybe other editors will pick up the slack. But if they do, will you be left wondering if one if them is actually SunCrow in disguise?! LOL. Amandil21 (talk) 02:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Carl Lentz, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. 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.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Star Mississippi 19:34, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sockpuppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. Keep this up and you'll lose talk page access. Star Mississippi 19:12, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Star Mississippi, I've seen plenty of conduct from other editors that goes far, far beyond half-jokingly suggesting that someone may have OCD, and nothing has happened to those editors. Nevertheless, I have stricken two sentences from my comment above. Everything else I said was completely true, and I stand by it. As an aside, do you think it's an effective disciplinary tool to threaten to block an account that's already indefinitely blocked? I'm thinking maybe not so much. Just sayin'. ;) Amandil21 (talk) 04:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Unfortunately there's a lot of poor behavior. Doesn't mean we need to add more. You currently retain access to your Talk. That can still be changed. I won't, as I'm arguably involved, but others might. Star Mississippi 13:51, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
