Welcome[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 207.38.161.244, removed content from the page Astoria, Queens without giving an explanation. Please always provide an informative edit summary when removing content from pages. If 207.38.161.244 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

I recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! epicgenius (talk) 00:06, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

August 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Epicgenius. I noticed that you recently removed content from Astoria, Queens without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please discuss your deletion at Talk:Astoria, Queens#Deletion of information about new developments. Your repeated deletion of content has been challenged. In addition, please assume good faith and refrain from accusing other editors of editing on behalf of real-estate PR firms. Thank you. epicgenius (talk) 18:28, 6 August 2020 (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.

Hello, can you discuss on the talk page? It would be much easier for you to explain your reasoning there, rather than by continuing to remove the information. I can see why you think developments may be "ephemera" but they all depend on the size of the development. A two-family house being developed is obviously not notable, but 2,500 units might. Again, please see the talk page. epicgenius (talk) 22:31, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
