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 an account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

• Create new pages and rename pages
• Edit semi-protected pages
• Upload images
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without an account, your IP address (2602:306:CDD1:2D00:0:0:0:3E8) is used to identify you instead.

We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

"(Minor-)" edits

Hello. I've noticed that nearly all of your edits to Wikipedia are reducing the sizes of articles, often in what seem to be very small, synonym-replacing ways - you're making some good edits, but some which I can't quite see the advantage of, beyond reducing the number of letters in a sentence. Is slightly reducing the size of articles a particular intent of yours here?

A few editors set out with the intention of making Wikipedia articles a little smaller, thinking in terms of fitting them onto a printed page, but it's important to remember that Wikipedia is primarily digital - the only real concern we have over article size is whether a very long article should be split into sub-articles. Or if an article is being too long-winded or repetitious and needs to be heavily cut down. Saving a few bytes here and there shouldn't be anyone's priority. --McGeddon (talk) 23:01, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. I never set out to reduce the size of an article, but by reducing wordiness, passive voice, and redundant information, that often happens.2602:306:CDD1:2D00:0:0:0:3E8 (talk) 05:02, 3 November 2016 (UTC) I dream of horses

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Misnomer. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 23:02, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

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

Altered Carbon punctuation

MOS:LQ clearly states: Include terminal punctuation within the quotation marks only if it was present in the original material. Thanks.— TAnthony^Talk 22:56, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

You misunderstand what "part of original quote" means. A comma replaces a period when quoted sentence ends inside quoting sentence. Wikipedia style essentially is the same as UK style on quotes—but UK and U.S. agree on this issue. Also, also most of the things you reverted did have stops originally.

Hello! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. At least one of your edits, while it may have been in good faith, was difficult to distinguish from vandalism. To help other editors understand the reason for the changes, you can use an edit summary for your contributions. You can also take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --9563rj (talk) 18:52, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
