September 2021

I removed the warning that was posted here because the IP's edit was not vandalism (see Wikipedia's definition). However, the person using this IP should know that there would need to be a good reason (explained in an edit summary) for removing   and similar markup. Also, please avoid fiddling with spaces because it irritates editors (some like == Heading == and some like ==Heading==). Very few like changes to it.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you Create new pages and Upload images.

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Middle of Nowhere are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 12:05, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Convert

Thanks for your work adding {{convert}} to articles. However, please do not use {{conv}} as in this edit and several more. Saving three characters by writing conv rather than convert is a false economy—it saves almost nothing. The abbreviation is rarely used (there are over 3.2 million {{convert}} in articles, and roughly 50 {{conv}}). Other editors know what convert is, but would wonder about conv. The confusion that generates is not worthwhile. Johnuniq (talk) 01:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
