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 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 using a named account, your IP address (96.39.163.157) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a

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 (~~~~).

Happy editing! —hike395 (talk) 14:27, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

About editing Sequoia sempervirens in particular ---

When I used "controversial" in my edit summary, I meant controversial within Wikipedia --- one of the core tenets of Wikipedia is
verifiability. You may wish to read the essay here: Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth
.

I was hoping that multiple editors could come to a consensus about whether the Gymnosperm Database is a reliable source, and hence quote the numbers from there. I gave some supporting evidence at Talk:Grogan's Fault
Wikipedia cannot serve as a reference to itself. See
Iluvatar, and Lost Monarch. See Talk:Sequoia sempervirens
to discuss further.

Happy editing! —hike395 (talk) 14:43, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 96.39.163.157,

policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. —hike395 (talk) 08:49, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply

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.

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.
