welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Standing Rock Indian Reservation has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:43, 16 November 2019 (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.

Please don't use Wikipedia as a forum

In other words, don't use edit summaries to make a point, read

WP:NOTFORUM and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. It's pointless responding to 5 year old posts, by the way. And be careful about quoting other people's posts. Not only is it technically a copyright violation (although one usually ignored including by me) in some cases it can look like a personal attack. Doug Weller talk

Important notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called

page-specific restrictions
, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the

guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here
. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Again, please stop asking questions in long dead threads

I've removed your comment and that of another IP asking editors who posted 8 years ago to justify themselves. Doug Weller talk 15:21, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see that, and you justified it by saying that the question was not helpful because it was asked of someone who posted 8 years ago. The time-frame irrelevant. I asked the question hoping to improve the article now, and we still don't know why the Anti-Defamation League is a reliable source. How are your deletions helpful?47.137.185.72 (talk) 16:39, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Asking a question in a thread that has been inactive for 8 years is unlikely to be productive and likely to be seen as disruptive. Given that you are apparently having trouble with Wikipedia's judgement on
the Reliable sources noticeboard. - SummerPhDv2.0 16:45, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply

Thank you. I will mosey over there and see what I can find. 47.137.185.72 (talk) 16:48, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking Wikipedia

Is it possible to blank all content from the project? Is it weird that I fantasize about doing this? 47.137.185.72 (talk) 18:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are easier ways to earn a ban, but whatever. - SummerPhDv2.0 21:17, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I will take that advice under consideration. 47.137.185.72 (talk) 04:36, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User Page

I would like to become a member of a particular Wikipedia project and list this on a user page. According to the project's terms of membership, all I have to do is edit a page within its domain and exhibit a commitment to improving the subject matter's quality. I am having trouble creating a user page. Do I need to create an account? I would prefer to remain an IP address editor, but will create an account if necessary. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.137.185.72 (talkcontribs) 13:02, November 19, 2019 (UTC)

47.137.185.72 is not a user; it's a connection. If you edit from somewhere else, you are still you, but the connection is different. If you change ISPs or your ISP starts issuing dynamic IP addresses, someone else could end up on that IP address. If that person edits Wikipedia (or connected projects), their edits would show as having been made through 47.137.185.72.
A user name creates a somewhat stable identity for you on the project. It makes it easier to contact you if there are questions or conversations that you might be interested in. And yes, you can have a user page, join projects etc. - SummerPhDv2.0 01:03, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Anti-Defamation League are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.
