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. If you edit without a username, your IP address (24.171.0.229) 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 this page. Again, welcome!

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Vatican City. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JForget 02:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not add unsourced statements of personal opinion to Wikipedia, as you did, a second time, to the Vatican City page. Read WP:OR. And do not remove from an article the citation of a reliable source that states an opinion that contradicts yours. Thank you. Lima (talk) 07:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppetry

You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Xgmx (3rd). Thank you. MuZemike (talk) 06:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
