Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! elektrikSHOOS (talk) 19:46, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply


{{helpme}} I tried to edit a section of an article and I got and automated message that my edit was not allowed, so I reported it as an error. What should I do now? It doesn't even let me show you my edit here! Black Hole GR (talk) 20:05, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, what was the article you tried to edit? Your contribution history doesn't show any edits except to this, your talk page. NtheP (talk) 20:16, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

You must have edited under an IP address and there are several recent edits from IPs. What where you trying to change? NtheP (talk) 20:23, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi Black Hole GR. Okay, so I looked at the edit you were trying to make in the abuse log (Nthep, it was filtered so the edit was never actually made), and I do have some comments on it but it's obviously not vandalism and is a false positive. I'm sure you can understand that there are some edits, combinations of words, etc. that most of the time will be by someone trying to vandalize, and I'm sure that you can understand that an edit which includes "HEIL HITLER!" in it is probably a very good one to be filtered. But of course here you were quoting a neo-nazi organization in an article about their alleged nazism. So, what I have done is changed your user rights to make you an autoconfirmed user. I am not very familiar with the edit filter but I know they take some mix of parameters, so I figure this filter may be set to only filter users who are not yet confirmed. But I'm not sure if this will solve the issue. If not, please try posting at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives.

However, you need to change the edit you were attempting in one way: All quotations MUST be cited directly after the quote using an inline citation to a reliable source. This is core policy. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability. Scrutiny about this is heightened when the edit is one containing negative information, as here. So please do not make this edit without including that citation at the end of the quote. I will leave open the helpme request as someone with more knowledge of edit filters and how to exempt an edit from them may be along.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 20:35, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi edit

I cleaned your text up a little. Anyway, since I don't speak Greek unfortunately: what does the Hitler quote at the end of the article in the source say? :) Teh hackz0r (talk) 00:48, 26 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hallo. The capital letters was from the original text. Anyway..
The quote says "People do not live for the economy and the economy does not exist for the capital but the capital serves the economy and the economy (serves) the people". Black Hole GR (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ah ok thanks! About the capital letters: It doesn't make much sense in English, that's why I removed them Teh hackz0r (talk) 22:17, 1 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ok, cool! Black Hole GR (talk) 22:23, 1 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
