Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

December 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Proslavery, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. We can't use editors' knowledge or experience. Doug Weller talk 19:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to New Mexican Spanish, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I wanted to send a personal message to let you know I reverted your moves of New Mexican Spanish and Talk: New Mexican Spanish because they introduced errors in the name of the state of New Mexico. New Mexico nor New Mexican have hyphens in those proper names, so the hyphens should not have been added. There is no state in the U.S. called New-Mexico, just like there is no New-York. Next time you decide do a move like this, please ask first on the article talk page to get consensus. This probably should have also happened with the other article you moved, People watching. You might want to change that one back, then get consensus before making such a move. Thank you. Netherzone (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, I also wanted to mention that if in the future you think an article should be moved to a new title, there is a formal process for gaining consensus, called "Requested Moves" - more information is located at this link: WP:RM. Netherzone (talk) 15:09, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request[edit]

I want to change edit the somaliland sovereign state to change somaliland Country is not part of Somalia Ayen queen (talk) 18:31, 8 April 2021 (UTC) Hi, I just made a minor edit about a linking error. I am not, by no means, in charge of the article. However, that sounds like it could be controversial. Why don't you leave a message on the article's talk page asking for permission?

Disambiguation link notification for June 3[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Long Island serial killer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Boethius[edit]

Hey, hey! Many moons ago we spoke about improving On the Consolation of Philosophy. That's kinda been on the back-burner for me, since I'm currently working on my dissertation, but I was wondering if you were still interested in the idea? Here in a few months, I'm hoping to have more time to devote to these sorts of projects, and this is near the top of my list.--Gen. Quon_[Talk]^{(I'm studying Wikipedia!)} 13:27, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am still up for working on it, but I, too, am a grad student who must put these things on the back-burner. What are you studying, and what is your dissertation on? Joesom333 (talk) 01:09, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

Your efforts to delete User:Lightbreather/Kaffeeklatsch were reverted. Please leave it be--plenty of users have been keeping an eye on that editor's work for long enough, so trust me when I say it's best left alone. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 00:53, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;

comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;

follow editorial and behavioural best practice;

comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and

refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

3O decline[edit]

I've declined your filing at WP:3O as, contrary to your claim, there are not only two editors involved and conseqequently you already have a third opinion available. As evident from the Talk page you linked to, Dimadick (talk · contribs) also has contributed to the conversation. You should be working with them to reach a consensus or pursuing other forms of dispute resolution. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 01:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
