Welcome!

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Rapid-fire addition of sources

Hello. Why are you rapidly adding sources to completely different articles? Please slow down and start using edit summaries. Grayfell (talk) 21:08, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Grayfell Sorry, ok 87.17.158.221 (talk) 21:12, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you're doing the exact same thing again. Please stop adding shopping links to references, it looks like you're just adding spam. Grayfell (talk) 20:04, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read all of the sources you are citing? If you haven't read at least a significant part of a source, you shouldn't be citing it on Wikipedia. Grayfell (talk) 20:09, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I read all of them in Z-Library 87.17.158.221 (talk) 23:24, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please undo all my edits 87.17.158.221 (talk) 23:25, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You've added dozens of sources within hours of each other, and you've read all of them? If you've read them, use them to add useful information to these articles. Dumping them into 'see also' sections with links to the publisher's shopping page is spamming. Grayfell (talk) 00:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

February 2025

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Grayfell (talk) 21:58, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 23:44, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do not use multiple IP addresses to disrupt Wikipedia. Such attempts to avoid detection, circumvent policies or evade blocks or sanctions will not succeed. You are welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, but your recent edits have been reverted or removed. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia until the three-month block on the previous IP address you used, 79.13.24.38, expires. Blocks apply to the person behind an IP address or account, not just the IP/account itself. Any edits you make in evasion of a block may be reverted. If you'd like to appeal your block and get back to editing Wikipedia legitimately again, write {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of this page, making reference to that blocked 79.13.24.38 IP address. — AP 499D25 (talk) 06:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indiscriminate sourcing, again

Again, please stop adding sources faster than you could possibly read them. Slow down and make sure sources are useful to readers. Not every source which exists needs to be in every relevant article. Wikipedia is not a directory or search engine.

When adding sources to specific statements, please include a one or two sentence direct quote from that source which supports the attached claim. You can do this by adding |quote="quote goes here" inside the reference template. At the very least, please cite a page or range of pages which support these claims. This is done via |pp=5-7 (for example). Just adding the name of a book with hundreds of pages isn't helpful to readers, and it only makes more work for other editors in the future.

If you don't know of any quotes or at least specific pages that support these claims, you should not be adding these works as references at all. Again, Wikipedia isn't a directory of references, it is an encyclopedia.

March 2025

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistently making disruptive edits.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. DMacks (talk) 21:38, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
