Welcome!

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:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

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 sock puppetry.
• 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. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; 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!

Can you please keep your nonsensical claims about nature off talk pages please. We aren't a forum. IRWolfie- (talk) 07:52, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

I see it was already removed, and because of the publisher listed in the wikipedia entry and the content at nature dot com, it appeared there was no way that it could be the same scientific Journal Nature. However on closer inspection the NPG group is published by a Macmillan subsidiary, who evidently took over the once academic Journal Nature in 1997. Here in Oregon the University Science Library dropped their subscription in 1999, Now I know why.

But yes I wrong, it is "the Journal Nature" and I stand corrected, I just never would have thought it was the journal that stepped down as opposed to some pseudo site pretending to step up or otherwise masquerading as a scientific journal.

You are welcome to discuss the furlongs/kilometers debate on the relevant talkpage; should be fun. Tigerboy1966  21:22, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Ninney. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Talk:Low Earth orbit because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions. Last warning - article talk pages can only be used to directly discuss not the subject of the article but the article itself - sources, wording, material related to guidelines and policies, etc. Doug Weller (talk) 11:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning Doug! I obviously hit a nerve with you as you've gone through many of my comments on talk pages and removed them. I fully understand the mentality of people whom believe they are some sort of white knight and seek to abolish religion because they ignorantly see it as root cause behind much of the violence carried out by humans throughout history. I would invite to look a little bit deeper as what exactly is root of these worldly problems, because it really is not all that difficult to see that the problem is the male gender, and not religion. But I know how hard it is for us males to accept even the simplist, most basic of the self-evident truths. Be Well, mister Weller -Dirtclustit (talk) 04:48, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. You asked what "TW" means in the edit which created this section. That edit summary shows TW which is a link that can be clicked. It means that the editor (Doug Weller in this case) is one of the many who use the Twinkle gadget to help make certain kinds of edits. Regarding this talk page comment, please be aware that Wikipedia is a very widely read website, and it is common for people to attempt to post their views on various pages. Such posts are routinely removed because Wikipedia is not a forum. Johnuniq (talk) 06:02, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank You Johnuniq, there was no question whatsoever for my edit violating Wikipedia policiy, there is no excuse for that and I should be banned from editing if I cannot refrain from such talk comments. It's a bad habit that I need to address. Thank you for taking the time to reiterate that to me. -Dirtclustit (talk) 06:09, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Hi Graham, sorry about those edits you had to revert, I don't think all of them warranted reversion, but you probably just reverted all the edits from a single day, or maybe you did read through all of the edits you reverted and really do believe they were disruptive. I do have a bad habit of chosing the wrong words to communicate, so statistically the odds would favor that it's me, and not you. So I'll just accept the block, as in two of those reversions were warranted. I do however a question for you and I hope it isn't taken the wrong way, but I am curious about your edit of a posted image re:the tow truck, what exactly did you see or hear that made you believe the image could not have been what the posted intended?

Was it a software error or was that image not the original image posted?

hope your goes well Graham
