Your , so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free. (Note: Sometimes, due to vandalism, you may be temporarily unable to register). Applying an indefinite block to this IP is not appropriate, unless it is a soft block, because the IP address will later be reallocated to a different, unrelated, and unsuspecting user, thereby impairing access to Wikipedia in an inappropriate fashion. Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking. The best approach is to determine the CIDR IP numerical address range and make a higher-level decision to soft-block the entire range. http://www.arin.net/ (for approximately North America) and related sites can help to identify that range. Caution is advised when applying a range block as other Wikipedians, both registered and otherwise, may be affected.
Review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block using Template:Anonblock. ![]() |

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. - wolf 19:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
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 (including user talk pages) are for discussion related to improving (a) an encyclopedia article in specific ways based on reliable sources or (b) project policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article 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. - wolf 19:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Pete Conrad. 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. - wolf 07:09, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, you may be blocked from editing. - wolf 07:46, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
⚠️Since last August, you've made 34 edits to 34 different article talk pages. All but perhaps a half dozen or so remain as the large majority of them have been removed by other editors. This means that multiple editors took issue with your comments and deleted them. Article talk pages are for discussion about the article's content, not your personal opinion of the article's subject. Posting questions that are basically snide remarks and obnoxious insults do not belong. These pages are not forums or message boards. You have not returned to a single page you posted on, not one, to follow up on your questions, meaning you clearly have no intention of engaging in a collaborative discussion. These edits are so far your only edits, you have not contributed to a single article, or engaged in any of the project discussion areas, such as; the tea house, the help desk or the village pump. If you continue in this manner, you will very likely be blocked from editing. Carefully read through the 'welcome' message above, as well as all the notices here, (and all the links), to learn about Wikipedia's policies & guidelines, the "five pillars" of contributing, and the general expectations of user's who wish to edit here, to learn how to contribute in more productive manner. If you have questions, post them at the tea house or help desk. - wolf 08:03, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to John Marshall Harlan, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Re the Steven Koonin article that you critiqued as one-sided: I read a syndicated column by Marc Thiessen touting Koonin's new book Unsettled and thought it needed a response. When I read the Wikipedia article to see if it offered help, it seemed one-sided to me (as you had noted), and a little research dug up the other side. I made the necessary edit to include a couple of criticisms in a new section.
That is how Wikipedia works for me: Something catches my attention and I do what I can to fix it. As another instance, my initial entry, if I recall correctly, was scrubbing vandalism from the Charlie Parker article.
On the other hand, carping does little; I have found this to be true in cooperative enterprises, whether public or private. I think you can do better. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 15:10, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Drill it. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Talk:Pierre-Simon Laplace have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drill it (talk • contribs) 17:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
i have no clue how to use what you typed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.224.34 (talk) 17:41, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Elizabeth Bentley. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Uranium Site (talk) 09:55, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
