I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or place {{Help me}} on this page and someone will drop by to help. Again, welcome!

Can I suggest that you hold off from answering questions at the Teahouse for a bit? It's great that you're keen and want to help; but there is an awful lot to learn about how things are done on Wikipedia, and I'm concerned that you may be giving wrong advice. How about lurking there for a bit, while you get practice in making contributions to articles, until you get a sense of what's going on? ColinFine (talk) 19:48, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

I have been on Wikipedia using a different account prior to this one for some years now. I lost it to a false admin ban which I have tried to appeal, but got rejected. Port Vale Fan (talk) 20:13, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

@Port Vale Fan What was the name of your previous account? – LuniZunie_(talk) 20:27, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Please hold off on answering questions at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. I appreciate your contribution, but you need to have more experience here and more knowledge about Wikipedia policies and guidelines before you can be effective there. Please concentrate on learning the ropes and improving articles for now. Thanks, and welcome! Mathglot (talk) 23:04, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello Port Vale Fan! The thread you created at the Teahouse, What do you need to put after a talk page comment?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please create a new thread. See also the help page about the archival process. The archival was done by lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by KiranBOT, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=KiranBOT}} on top of the current page (your user talk page). —KiranBOT (talk) 03:04, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
