I made an edit a while ago but forgot to log in first. Is there a way to attach that edit to my account retroactively? --SirShaunIV (talk) 15:04, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SirShaunIV, thanks for the message. There isn't really a way to do this. What you can do, if you want, is add a note to your userpage (User:SirShaunIV) mentioning that you've edited anonymously from a particular IP address (see User:PlanetStar for an example of how that might look). Let me know if you have any other questions! —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does that possibly create a security risk by linking me to a particular IP address? SirShaunIV (talk) 16:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SirShaunIV: Potentially. Your IP address can be used to identify your approximate location and ISP, so it's up to you if you'd like to keep it private. Some related guidance is here: Wikipedia:Personal security practices. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 17:02, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm proud of that edit, but I'll leave it. Thanks anyway. SirShaunIV (talk) 00:17, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greeting's Mx. Granger!

I'm a new member of the Wikipedia web-browser. And I would like to know about what I could write about in an article. Is it only limited to important real-life events or I could write like about a fictional country I just made up 5 minutes ago?

Hi VurkashianPerson, thanks for the message. You can't write a Wikipedia article about a fictional country you made up. Wikipedia is based on reliable sources, which means that original research is not allowed. The relevant guideline here is Wikipedia:Notability; in general, a subject should only have a Wikipedia article if it has gotten significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Please let me know if you have any other questions! —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:56, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ! I'm new to contributing to Wikipedia and my main focus is to translate articles from French to English and English to French. My question is : Often, the Google Translate translation is already good enough, maybe even perfect as I couldn't make it better myself so is it bad if I leave it as is ? Because it tells me that I haven't modified it enough... Also do you have any general tips? Thank you! --OulisFR (talk) 12:58, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OulisFR, thanks for the message. If you've checked the translation carefully to make sure it's accurate, then I think it's fine to leave it as-is. If it tells you you haven't modified it enough, does that prevent you from saving/publishing your work? If so, that might be a question to bring up at Wikipedia talk:Content translation tool or mw:Talk:Content translation. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:06, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I ended up being able to publish it so all good! Thank you for the quick reply too! OulisFR (talk) 14:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do i change the title of my public publish? --Zephyerus (talk) 23:11, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zephyerus, I'm afraid I don't understand the question. Do you want to change the title of an article, change your username, or something else? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:47, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
