From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome

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

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

Your nomination at Articles for Creation was a success, and Fullmetal Alchemist OVA was created. Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia, and please consider registering an account so you can create articles yourself. Thank you for helping Wikipedia!

[edit] IP user pages

Hello there. Usually, User pages for IP users do not exist. There are some exceptions for this, such as those with a particularly notorious history or perhaps those for which several thousand users access the same IP address at the same time.

Reference for example, the fact that apparently every single person in the country of Qatar is apparently routed to the same IP address. IP talk pages are generally the place where individual IP addresses are warned, for example, of any vandalism they might have brought upon the Wiki.

However, User talk pages for IP addresses are common. These may be for a single anonymous user with a single edit to the Wiki, for a network of IP addresses in a school, or these may change periodically, such as those hooked up to AOL, which uses a proxy management system to handle its users. I hope this answers the question you posed, and if not, feel free to ask further. Bobo. 19:36, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
