ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

January 2010 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Profession has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 05:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! Saw your post on the talk page at Profession. Put simply, I basically agree with your argument, and I think some delicate rewriting of that section is called for. I still stand by the revert I made earlier -- you can't just delete that whole section, because that is a widely sourced and prevalent stance on the issue. But there are clearly two sides to the issue, and your side (which I tend to agree with) is wholly absent from that section, and shouldn't be. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 06:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Women in Society edit

There is only one source for this section, an article by the National Organization of Women. It should be OBVIOUS to Wikipedia that N.O.W.'s views, writings, and "research" are wholly feminist. They represent only ONE perspective. As such, they lack objectivity. A N.O.W. magazine article is credible only to the extent of providing a feminist point of view. In fact, most of N.O.W.'s work is complete garbage. It's fiction, steered by emotion and gender politics. It's most certainly not scholarship, because it's not intellectually honest. As far as the roles and responsibilities of Iroquois women, Wikipedia should bypass the feminist filter altogether and instead DIRECTLY reference EXPERT subject matter. By "expert" subject matter, I mean work done by cultural anthropologists. And by the way, an anthropologist is degreed in anthropology, NOT women's studies, gender studies, or sociology.

Disruptive editing at Iroquois edit

Please note that your recent edit to Iroquois looks to be simple pushing of your point of view. This type of edit is against Wikipedia policy. Denouncing the National Organization of Women in Wikipedia's voice is making this article into an editorial platform for your views. You are urged to revert your change to the article and open a discussion on the article's talk page about any concerns that you may have. If you decline to do so, action may be taken against you by Wikipedia administrators. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:55, 18 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
