{{Blanked IP talk}}
FWIW, I've previously been welcomed at the (theoretically) static IPs:

That's in addition to the >25,000 edits dating back to February 2004 under my main, now inactive, [[Wikipedia:Username|username]], and another >8,000 under my main username at [[Simple:|Simple English Wikipedia]]. [[User:76.22.4.86|76.22.4.86]] 19:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

==Manual of Style, etc. pages that explain many of my edits==
*[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)#Capitalization]] (only proper nouns get caps in section headers)
*[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Overlinking and underlinking: what's the best ratio]] (linking bare years is rarely advisable)
*[[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Dates_containing_a_month_and_a_day]] (but if there's more than just a bare year, it <u>should</u> be linked)
*[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Dates of birth and death]] (birth and death locations belong in the article body, not in the parenthetical birth/death date phrase)
*[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources#What_to_do_when_a_reference_link_.22goes_dead.22]] (dead external links should be fixed or flagged)

<font color="black"><font size="1.8pt">Hello, and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|your contributions]]. Since you are new, I've taken the liberty of providing a few useful resources:

*'''[[Wikipedia:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]]''' Read this ''first''.
*'''[[Help:Contents/Getting started|Getting started]]''' How to get started
*'''[[Wikipedia:Introduction|Introduction]]''' A tutorial of sorts on Wikipedia
*'''[[Wikipedia:Glossary|Glossary of Wikipedia terms]]''' To figure out all those acronyms!
*'''[[Help:Contents/Policies and guidelines|Policies and guidelines]]''' Rules to follow
*'''[[Wikipedia:Five pillars|The Five Pillars]]''' The basis of our policies
*'''[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]''' How to make articles fit the desired style
*'''[[Help:Preferences|Change your preferences]]''' How to change how you see Wikipedia
*'''[[Wikipedia:Customisation#User name and signatures|Change your signature]]''' How to change your signature
*'''[[Wikipedia:Help desk|Help Desk]]''' For questions on how to use Wikipedia
*'''[[Wikipedia:Reference desk|Reference Desk]]''' For general knowledge questions

Here are some other hints and tips:

* I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|benefits of having a username]]. (If you edit without a username, your [[IP address]] is used to identify you instead.)
* When using [[Wikipedia:talk pages|talk pages]], please [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your name]] at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~&#126;~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out [[Wikipedia:Where to ask a question]], ask me on [[User talk:Elaragirl|my talk page]], or type '''<nowiki> {{helpme}} </nowiki>''' on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]].

==Regarding your edit to [[:Tom Brown (naturalist)]]:==
Your recent edit to [[:Tom Brown (naturalist)]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Tom_Brown_%28naturalist%29&curid=1247237&diff=107176158&oldid=107082918 diff]) was reverted by an '''automated bot'''. The edit was identified as adding either test edits, [[WP:VAND|vandalism]], or [[WP:SPAM|link spam]] to the page or having an inappropriate [[WP:ED|edit summary]]. If you want to experiment, please use the preview button while editing or consider using the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. If this revert was in error, please contact the bot operator. Thanks! // [[User:VoABot II|VoABot II]] 22:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Exquisite-khelpcenter.png|left|30px]] I have reverted a recent edit you made to the article [[:Alta California]]. You did not provide an [[help:Edit summary|edit summary]], and I could not determine whether the edit was [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] or a constructive contribution. In the future, please [[help:Edit summary|use edit summaries]]. Headers do not need de-capitalisation. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Alta_California&diff=next&oldid=106970582 link]. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. <!-- 45--> A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Alta_California&diff=next&oldid=106970582 link].
