Note that in order for the first three features to be available, you must have
If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (47.137.185.72) is used to identify you instead.
I hope that you, as a

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)
- 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)
- 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 ]

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

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as hate groups. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
