Hi, Lance6968, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.


Additional tips edit

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
  • You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Adding [citation needed] to articles edit

Hi Lance6968

I see you were trying to a [citation needed] to Sasha Cohen. I have added them for you. FYI - this is done by adding {{fact}} to the wiki text.

I would also like to point you to the Show preview button on the edit page, which is usefull for testing wiki text you are not sure of.

Regards,

Political Cooperative edit

Hello, I am being rather attacked and I am wondering if you would be so kind as to intervene and review what is going on. I made a page for [Political Cooperative] and I am open to having anyone edit it, but instead of doing that, all the people who jumped on me yesterday for adding a citation in [Zionism] and even went as far as to lie to get me blocked are now deleting the content from the PC page without allowing anyone to view it, edit it or improve it. Slim Virgin in particular has reverted the page to blank about 4 or 5 times. Thanks. Pco 01:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sasha Cohen and unsupported facts edit

Yes, the language is ungainly with the Sasha Cohen article, but that's to represent what the source says. There is nothing in the cited source where Sasha's mother says she's half-Christian; it's presented as the author's interpretation. I think public official is a vague term; city employee at least clarifies what official made the request--and that is backed up by the source. —C.Fred (talk) 05:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Who-clauses are ugly. :) The article doesn't present it in such a way that we're clear Mrs. Cohen didn't say it, so I'll let that half stand. I still think "public official" is a vague term, and it should at least be pinned down to the city. —C.Fred (talk) 05:19, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your edits edit

Hey, I just saw the recent change where you included ''''Bold text''' - which highlighted to me as a potential nuisance edit. I apologise for the reversion, as it seems you are genuinely improving the article. --Sagaciousuk (talk) 14:35, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi edit

You contribute to some very interesting subjects. Why not put up a few details on your user page and enable your email!? We can collaborate on topics if you wish. ;>) frummer 06:24, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • With all due respect to your tireless contributions, I must point out that your manner of editing is costing wikipedia a fortune and stretches out the history thread of the article unnecessarily. I made this mistake too until someone explained it to me. You can use the show preview button more often instead of continuously editing. In this way we can see how the article evolves and expands etc clearly. Understand? frummer 03:15, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Reply


Stéphane Dion - Elected on an antisemitic platform? edit

Hello Lance6968. Hamiltonian deleted your contribution to the Dion article, and you put it back. On the Dion Talk/Discussion page, item no. 24, Bearcat suggests a compromise solution that might avoid an editing war (undoing, undoing revisions!) between you and Hamiltonian.

Mordecai Richler edit

I'd be grateful if you could point out specifically what is factually inaccurate in the Mordecai Richler article, so that we can deal with it and remove the tag. thanks, Peregrine981 07:56, 31 December 2006 (UTC)Reply


User:Dead men's bells edit

Please read the article dealing with sock puppets before you make accusations. A sock puppet is a second ACCOUNT, not an IP address resulting from someone not logging it. Thanks. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet

Renaming Zionism and racism edit

Hi Lance: Shouldn't the Zionism and racism article be renamed to Allegations of Zionism and racism as with Allegations of Israeli apartheid? What are your thoughts? IZAK 02:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

welcome ! edit

Welcome 6968 !

Smoked meat, Montreal-style bagels, etc. edit

You keep trying to push political POV in articles that have nothing to do with politics and making unscrupulous reverts (back to versions with typos and redundant links), accusing others of vandalism without bothering to read talk pages. Why?--Boffob 22:43, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're obsessed edit

I noticed your bizarre obsession with Neve Campbell's Jewish heritage. Perhaps when you get older, you'll learn to respect ALL human beings, rather than just those you consider to be "Jewish."

You're obsessed edit

Whatever

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
