Hi bog all good?
Welcome!
Hello, Dronebogus, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction and Getting started
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article
- Simplified Manual of Style
You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! Mathglot (talk) 22:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Updating a previous edit summary
You can't actually update a previous edit summary, as you discovered. But instead of "deleting random stuff" as you did in this edit, instead, please use a dummy edit. You can then use the edit summary field to add your new, or modified, edit summary that you wanted to use on the earlier edit. When I use a dummy edit, I usually start it out with the word Comment, and wikilink it to the DUMMY page. Here's an example you could copy next time:
[[WP:DUMMY|Comment:]] Amending previous edit summary, to add "Proposed for deletion."
or whatever it is you want to say or change. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 22:45, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Thank you so much! Dronebogus (talk) 22:49, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Returning users
Are you a returning user, by any chance? At your Rfd nominations, you sound experienced, but your first contribution under this userid is from only a week ago. It's no problem if you edited before, but in order to avoid attracting the attention of admins looking for sockpuppets, you should probably disclose the fact. I'm not an admin, and not an expert on this topic, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to name your previous id (i.e., don't out yourself), just state that you had one, and that you're no longer using it, and won't anymore. I think that's enough. If you've lost the password to it, you can inform an admin, and they can shut it down. If you want me to, I can look further into it, and find a link to the guideline that explains exactly what to do. Thanks, and happy editing!

My old account was IP user [redacted], which I disclosed on my userpage. Should I just add a userbox and a link as well, or do I need to tell an admin or something? I’m not good at technical stuff like account management. Dronebogus (talk) 02:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- No, as a former IP user I don't think you have to do anything. In fact, I'd remove the IP itself from your message above, and from the user page if I were you. It's not prohibited to have it, and you can leave it in if you want, but I wouldn't. It's enough if you say you edited anonymously (means the same thing as "as an IP user"), but you don't have to, and probably shouldn't give the IP itself. Mathglot (talk) 04:35, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Burke county map
Hi, I saw you reverted my addition of a Burke county map as an external link to Burke County, North Dakota. I checked, and the link works. Is there a reason you reverted it?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 18:19, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
I’m not sure what you mean. I don’t remember ever seeing or editing that article before. Do you have me confused with someone else? Dronebogus (talk) 04:22, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
UPDATE: I found it and see what you mean but I still don’t remember doing it. Weird. Dronebogus (talk) 07:51, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking into it. Maybe a good time to change your password?--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 02:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Ravana
Hello Dronebogus, Greetings! Happy to see your message in my Talk page regarding the article Ravana.
In Hindu mythology, Ravana was born to great sage Vishrava and demon princess Kaikeshi. He had inherited with scholar qualities of Brahmin and strength of demon But, Ravan and his brother Kumbhakarna continued to mature into a strong rakshasha under guidance of his grandfather (mother's side) 'Sumali' who was king of the Demons at that time.
That's why, I mentioned that Demon tendency was filled with Ravana. I hope this answers your question. . if you are not satisfied with the answers, I will be very happy to continue our discussion.Divyam Seth (talk) 04:32, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Withdrawing AfD nominations
Usually, such as in this case, it's best to also speedy close them (if the meet the criteria outlined at WP:CSK) yourself. You may use WP:XFDCloser to make everything easier. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:37, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Deletion notices
Hi, noticed you are nominating prods and AFDs very fast. Please remember to conduct a WP:BEFORE on each article if the nomination is for notability and please slow down your nominations, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 01:09, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
