elcome to Wikipedia Funfj, from WikiProject Editor Retention
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talk page of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia.

Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you.

This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

  • Here's a good start on learning Wikipedia WP:PAG. Perhaps in the future, you'll refrain from reverting good edits by experienced editors for reasons you pull out of your ass. John from Idegon (talk) 19:17, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Pasco, Washington. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Trying to keep some logical and well-referenced consistency in the article for Pasco to match the information for neighboring cities is not disruptive. Why should the information for Pasco (especially information that meets WP:USCITIES) be listed differently than neighboring cities? Being consistent is using common sense. I would invite the community here to view the edits and come to a consensus on who is being "disruptive". Funfj (talk) 19:41, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Funfj, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! John from Idegon (talk) 20:33, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, I appreciate the information. Perhaps you should have led with this as opposed to your first message? Funfj (talk) 20:38, 15 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
