40 Days of Lent
Welcome!
edit
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
editHere'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.
Happy Wiki-ing.
After seeing your comments on Talk:Anti-Masonry, espesially when seen in context with your userpage, I think you might benefit from reading up on Wikipedia:No personal attacks and other Policies and guidelines. 158.112.84.2 09:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- There was no personal attack, just facts. Facts aren't personal they are just facts. Reality and Responsibility - it's an adult topic, and may make younger people uncomfortable, given the current pandering taking place in the public education system, which has engendered uncritical feminine minds.40 Days of Lent 10:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks.
- You're given an NPA based on the following edits containing personal attacks:
- Actually, that should be enought to slap a NPA2 and a NPA3 on here as well, but I'm trying to assume good faith (something you don't seem to do). WegianWarrior 16:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Since when do you or MS Japan have any authority to place warnings on other Users discussion pages? You have none, meglomania aside.40 Days of Lent 05:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- If you read WP:PAIN (the Wikipedia personal attack intervention noticeboard), you'll see that it is the task of the users to (and I qoute): Make sure the editor has been warned with the {{subst:npa}}, {{subst:npa2}}, and {{subst:npa3}} templates as appropriate. So every user has the authority to put these tags in. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. WegianWarrior 05:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- I doubt you are reading that correctly, but I am certain it would say something about providing some references or proof. You and the unsigned warning by MSJapan did neither. So post your proof Mason, where was the "personal attack" I made?40 Days of Lent 06:26, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Oh by the way it is pretty clear that the warnings are meant to be placed on Admin noticeboard pages (For editors who want to get an administrator to have a look at a personal attack situation and consider action) and are not to be placed on Users pages. Of course the posting anonymously by MSJapan was an attempt at deception trying to make it seem as if Admins were posting the warning. I'm not an admin, ergo you and MSJapan broke Wikipedia rules and guidelines once again.40 Days of Lent 06:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- Since you seem to have trouble reading things in context, and instead likes to pull out single statements and presenting them out of context (a tactic you and other socks have used repetedly), let me qoute the relevant section in full:
- This page is intended to get administrator attention quickly when dealing with personal attacks.
- For editors who want to get an administrator to have a look at a personal attack situation and consider action:
- Make sure the user is currently committing a personal attack and it's not a content dispute.
- Make sure the editor has been warned with the {{subst:npa}}, {{subst:npa2}}, and {{subst:npa3}} templates as appropriate.
- If the behavior hasn't stopped, add the IP or username to the bottom of this page in the following format:
- {{subst:user|username or ip}} optional brief reason for listing (keep it short)
- If an administrator removes the IP or username and doesn't handle the matter to your satisfaction, take it to the administrator's talk page or the administrators' noticeboard, but do not re-list the user here.
- As can clearly be seen when things are read in context, the editor reporting a personal attack can not do so until the three tags have been placed on the offending editors talkpage - in other words; warn first, report to admin later. If you still don't agree with the common interprenation of this, please ask on Wikipedia talk:Personal attack intervention noticeboard to have them clarefy it for you.
