Please do not use Wikipedia as a hotline[edit]

If you have any questions regarding Microsoft Cortana, or any other Microsoft service, please contact Microsoft, Wikipedia is not intended for these purposes, and the edits you've done are simply considered vandalism. (Please read WP:NOT before asking any more product usage related questions on this website), I hope that you will find the solution you're looking for, but do not make abrupt edits to ask these things when there are specialized sites to help you. --42.113.73.178 (talk) 02:00, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (172.56.42.145) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! — RainFall 06:01, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
