Hi Ismehela! Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad that you decided to join us as a member of the community by creating an account! I saw your user page, and I noticed that you disclosed the IP address that you used to edit Wikipedia in the past. I wanted to reach out to you and recommend that you review this page, and advise that you don't disclose your IP or other personal information. As the sixth most visited website on Earth, such disclosure means that it's viewable (and viewed) by many people. It can come back to bite you later should someone want to use that information in order to harass you; I've seen it happen to people here and (putting it lightly) - it's not pretty.
I wanted to give you a chance to read that page I linked you to, and give it another consideration before you decide to disclose your IP address. Let me be clear, I am not trying to make you do anything. You're absolutely welcome to disclose it if you wish to do so. However, I thought that since you might not be aware of the possible consequences that may come as a result of that disclosure, I went ahead and redacted the IP address from your user page, and I suppressed the information from the revision, logs, and edit history for you... just in case you change your mind and decide that it was a bad idea.
I'm just trying to keep an eye out for my fellow Wikipedians and keep their safety and privacy from being used for harassment and abuse. ;-) If you have any questions or need anything, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:00, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
