Welcome!

Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

March 2022

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to List of mosques in Oceania, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of mosques in Oceania. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
@Mako001: @Laterthanyouthink: How was it vandalism? I was simply trying to fix the table (some of the rows were not showing) and fixing the link (because currently Home Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands does not redirect to Home Island, although this would be a necessary redirect). 2001:8004:4430:D507:F092:ED29:5C6F:DC4E (talk) 08:08, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for the ping. I apologise if I got it wrong, but I just had a quick look after a notification of change and the Cocos table looked a bit wrong, and I noticed that there had been a previous reversion. Unfortunately as an unregistered user, especially if you don't use edit summaries, your changes are likely to be viewed as suspicious. (If you create an account, you can add an option to be reminded of this before publishing.) I have now made a minor adjustment to the article to fix a few style issues (no links in subheadings, and External territories usually follow the other Australian states and territories), and also removed the offending table, as it was not really needed for only one item there. Best wishes. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:01, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies, the edit summary didn't go into too much detail, and Home Island seemed a fairly generic term, whereas the original seemed to be more appropriate, however, I made a mistake there, carry on. Mako001 (C)  (T)  🇺🇦 09:59, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I would advise requesting a move (rename) on the article's talk page, or on WP:RM. Thank you. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 08:12, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. there was an earlier thread on the matter, but I guess it went no further. You might want to read MOS:ENGVAR. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 15:44, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user who has not created an account yet, or who does not use it. We therefore have to use the numerical IP address to identify them. Such an IP address can be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user and feel that irrelevant comments have been directed at you, please create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users.
