[edit] Change IP Address to User Name in prior contributions ?

Hello I made several contributions (edits, corrections etc) without having logged in. As a result, my contributions do not show my User Name as the signature, rather an IP Address.

Is there a way to change all those IP Addresses to my User Name so that I can track my changes based on User Name and also let others see that I made those changes (in case of desired communication etc) ?

Please answer here and my talk page.

Thanks

I'm afraid not: article history can't be changed. You can make a dummy edit in the article's history saying 'that IP was me', if you like. --ais523 17:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] December 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to List of musical works in unusual time signatures, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. The page explicitly states that all material MUST BE SOURCED or it will be deleted. Please do not add the information again until you have a PROPER CITATION attached to it -- and another Wikipedia page does NOT count as a citation.

[edit] Wikietiquette alert

My apologies if I was a little too harsh in the comment for that edit -- but you repeatedly added info to the article without sourcing it. I do think that you're being a little too swift, judging me on just one edit summary -- I try to be civil at all times, but sometimes I just snap. Again, I'm sorry if you took offense to it, but next time, please make sure to source any info that you add.

Also, when you make a Wikietiquette alert, please be sure to notify the user you're reporting as well -- I didn't find out about the alert until just a few minutes ago. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 03:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
