Your IP address, 2620:132:B08A:0:40D4:717D:75EB:64AE, is registered to St. Olaf College and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution, so you might receive messages on this page that were not intended for you.

To have your own user pages, keep track of articles you've edited in a watchlist, and have access to a few other special features, please consider registering an account! It's fast and free.

If you are unable to create an account due to your institution's IP address being blocked, follow these instructions. If you are autoblocked repeatedly, contact your network administrator or instructor and request that your school contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on its proxy servers so that blocks will affect only the intended user.

Administrators: review contributions carefully if blocking this IP address or reverting its contributions. If a block is needed, consider a soft block using {{School block}}.

In response to vandalism from this IP address, abuse reports may be sent to its network administrator for investigation.

Educational institution staff and network administrators wishing to monitor this IP address for vandalism can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

Hello, I'm Rsrikanth05. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to German Americans have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Rsrikanth05 (talk) 04:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Pope Clement XII. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen your comment. Wikipedia certainly welcomes factual additions to articles, although these usually must be referenced. They cannot be in the form of opinions, unsourced and debatable text or commentary. A reliable, verifiable, third party source can support facts that may otherwise appear questionable, as I have explained above. You will find that my comments are from the Wikipedia pages noted and that those pages can provide further guidance. This is not a commentary or judgment on your editing. You certainly appear to me to be in good faith so I do not think your efforts are vandalism, but that does not mean they need not comply with Wikipedia policies and guidelines.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
