[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights.

Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
- Copying text from other sources

- Thank you for the explanation. Hopefully I have corrected the problem. I didn't want to leave it undone after investing all that time in the article. I'll take a brief break to rethink how I can best contribute and invest my time here. Thanks again for the constructive comments. They are appreciated. 97.99.90.245 (talk) 02:49, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Gaslighting, 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. The categories of "Bullying", "Communication of falsehoods" and "Deception" that you removed as "unrelated" are all directly relevant to the article subject.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Lord Belbury (talk) 08:03, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Lord Belbury: My understanding is that making edits while logged out is not against policy, and in and of itself, does not qualify as multiple accounts nor does it warrant a warning. See WP:LOGGEDOUT. I'd to encourage you to be mindful of WP:HOUNDING. "Hounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia." If you believe the 5 edits you flagged above qualify as WP:SOCK, please explain how, or otherwise please assume good faith and not post generalized warnings. Thanks.

- Hello again Wiki-psyc, I replied to this on my talk page. If you understand the policies in question, then I'm glad to hear it. I'm assuming good faith and hope you are too. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:59, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
