Welcome!

Hello, Panem, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

PS: I restored the neutral language to List of political epithets#Corporate fascism. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. We're not here to right the world's wrong, just to write the world's encyclopedia. Please read our core policy, WP:NPOV. -Will Beback 21:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


PPS: Writing text like:
  • If US citizens knew that their country was bordering on being a fascist state and has been thus for over a century, they would demand widespread regime change.
Is totally inappropriate. See WP:V. You have no way of knowing what the American people would do, so it is unverifiable speculation. -Will Beback 21:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Will, how do I send you a message? edit

This is strange, that I can send myself a message but not you.

Hi. You can leave me a message on my talk page, user talk:Will Beback. Cheers, -Will Beback 19:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
PS: Writing an article with just a blog (yours?) as a source is not appropriate. Please find reliable sources. Unsourced articles may be deleted. -Will Beback 22:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Personal attacks edit

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --rehpotsirhc █♣█Talk 15:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Minimum-wage job edit

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In reading the article that you contributed, it does not appear to have a neutral-point-of-view as required by Wikipedia policy. Can you please revisit the article and make appropriate changes? Also, it would be best if you could cite sources for the information presented in the article. Thanks! Regards, Accurizer 14:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Freeway and vehicular blogging edit

Hi there. I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Freeway and vehicular blogging, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Freeway and vehicular blogging. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Before deciding to remove the template, please read WP:NEO and WP:NOT. Regards, Accurizer 14:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

External links edit

Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. The links you added to the page Politics have been removed. Please do not add commercial links—or links to your own private websites—to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --AbsolutDan (talk) 04:07, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

The link I removed was to a personal website, which (as you mention above) contains original research. Wikipedia isn't the place for original research, whether it be in the article content or external links. If we started adding links to all the political theories and such we'd quickly have a bottom-heavy article --AbsolutDan (talk) 00:32, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Brimba has taken his or her vandalism to the next level, accusing me of sockpuppetry in the hope that I will stop posting true facts about pollution. Brimba is clearly a partisan and possibly a bigot.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Please do not repost this article as that will be considered as an act of vandalism.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  18:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

POV edits edit

Edits like this[1], this[2], and especially this[3] violate WP:NPOV for a number of reasons, such as POV adjectives, inflated and arbitratry focus on topics without regards to their relevance, WP:NOR, and statements of opinion worded as fact. Please stop edit warring, especially over mutliple pages. You may end up blocked if you continue.Voice-of-AllTalk 07:22, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I say bullshit to that edit

Voiceofall, you're a partisan and a censor. Your conduct is gutless and shameful. --panem

Panem, my review of your edits since you've been here reveals that you tend to push a particular point of view in most issues. You need to review the WP:NPOV policy, and conduct yourself accordingly. One more thing. Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Regards, Accurizer 13:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
I've blocked him for 24 hours, after revert warring, he deleted the PROD tag calling it "censorship" without addresing any concerns and not resorts to attacking me personally, when I tried to be nice about edits so POV that many would consider vandalism when reverted in repeatedly. When you are ready to abide by basic rules of WP conduct and content, then you are welcome to return.Voice-of-AllTalk 18:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


 

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to George Bush, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Mwanner | Talk 17:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


 

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to George Bush, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mwanner | Talk 18:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Greetings! I've put a very brief block on you (15 minutes) so that I might have an opportunity to talk to you here for a moment.

That being said, I don't think anyone doubts that the Bush presidency is a failure measured by most any public opinion standard, but really, your additions to the George W. Bush article are not going to change any minds. All you are going to do is draw the ire of editors who seek to keep the tone of the article neutral. I request that you post any additional edits you propose to make on the George W. Bush article on that article's talk page for discussion first. Cheers! BD2412 T 18:11, 22 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Well, thanks for ceasing such edits. BD2412 T 14:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

yet more censorship edit

I find it a rather strange that anything against Mr. Bush would be seen as vandalism.

Spam in Corporate libertarianism edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Corporate libertarianism, by Gavin.collins, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Corporate libertarianism is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Corporate libertarianism, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Corporate libertarianism itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve InfoWars edit

Hi, I'm Slatersteven. Panem, thanks for creating InfoWars!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. To be fair it over concentrates on one presenter.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
