What is the difference ...

What is the difference between an anon IP editor and a logged in one that is not using their real name?

Ans: Next to nothing. And they can both be disruptive.

161.29.202.46, hello. I looked at the back-and-forth at [1]. It's quite possible that you are right here, but that's not enough and not an excuse for WP:EW. You started to use edit summaries, that's good, but what you should have done is to find the talkpage and start to WP:COMMUNICATE.

A WP:REGISTERed editor can be as anonymous and whatever as an IP-editor, but it's generally easier to communicate with registered people. Your IP-adress is likely to change sooner or later, and people can't WP:PING you to discussions. Going to ANI before honestly and politely attempting to have a discussion on a talkpage is a terrible idea. Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:32, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I'll be nice

Hello. I appreciate you telling me that there was a discussion involving me earlier. I was wrong for reverting your edits. If you check my talk page, you'll see why I went off course, still no excuse for what I did. In the future, it would be much better for you to contact me first. I don't care about someone else knowing what I did, but I'm not very good at going through a third-party. I like dealing with things one on one. I won't contact you again, but like Gråbergs Gråa Sång stated already, a discussion first is always a better way to go. All the best. Bringingthewood (talk) 23:38, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
