Welcome to Wikisource
Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikisource! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:


 * Help pages
 * Style Guide
 * Inclusion policy
 * For Wikipedians

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to  [//en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup create an account] . Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. Creating an account on Wikisource has many of the same benefits as creating an account on Wikipedia. For one thing, if you continue to edit without a username, your IP address is used to publicly identify you.

In any case, I hope you enjoy donating your time to grow the Wikisource library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please sign your comments using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click  [//en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:174.3.143.199&action=edit&section=new edit] ) and place  before your question. Again, welcome!

Your recent (mistaken) block
Hi 174.3,

My apologies for the recent block. You were accidentally caught up in an automated filter that is trying to prevent abuse, but which was configured incorrectly. I have removed the block now so you should be free to contribute as usual.

Incidentally, I strongly recommend registering a user account: they're free, don't even require an email address, and make it much easier to collaborate with other users, let's you configure many things, keep track of your own contributions and subsequent changes to them, and so forth. It also happens to keep some of our automated abuse filters at bay (the majority of undesirable edits come from unregistered users, so we check those more aggressively). It's completely optional, but I highly recommend it. --Xover (talk) 16:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, really I should be the one apologizing, it appears I was the one who configured it that way. PseudoSkull (talk) 16:52, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
