Welcome
editHello Prohuman69 and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm AndrewvdBK, one of the many editors of this great website. I've posted this just to give you some useful advice and help you to settle in. You'll find that Wikipedia is much more than just articles and that there are many areas in which you can help out.
If you want to create an article, I would suggest using the Article Wizard. It will guide you through what you should do to write a great first article. To learn more about editing articles, this page will tell you all you need to know. |
To learn more about the fundamental principles by which Wikipedia operates, read about the 5 Pillars of Wikipedia. They should help you to understand exactly what the website stands for. |
You may not want to jump straight into editing and writing articles, which is perfectly understandable. The Sandbox is available for anyone to experiment in. You can even create your own sandbox if you wish. |
If you want, you can upload images to Wikipedia. However, you will have to know about the image use policy if you are going to upload images. This is largely due to copyright issues, which Wikipedia takes very seriously. |
It is important to be civil at all times and to respect the views of other users. Etiquette is a fundamental part of Wikipedia. Remember, the success of Wikipedia is down to teamwork and cooperation. |
I hope you enjoy your time on Wikipedia - it can seem very confusing at times, but you'll find that most people are more than willing to help you if you need it. The longer you spend on Wikipedia, the more you'll learn about how it works. If you do need help, you can contact me by leaving a note on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Alternatively, you can add the code {{helpme}}
to your user page and someone will come along to offer you assistance.
One last thing - remember to sign all your posts by typing 4 tildes (~~~~). This automatically inserts your username and the time and date of the post.
Good luck and happy editing! AndrewvdBK (talk)
"See also"
editPlease stop cramming "see also" sections full of barely-related links. In many cases, these articles are already linked in the main text, and in others, they are not sufficiently relevant. The "see also" section is not meant to be a repository of every other article a reader could possibly be looking for. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
February 2011
editPlease refrain from repeatedly undoing other people's edits, as you are doing in Pro-choice. It appears you may be engaged in an edit war. The three-revert rule (3RR) prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, please discuss disputed changes on the talk page. Thank you. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 22:45, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- Dude, you've hit WP:4RR within the last two hours. Three separate editors have reverted you on a very high-visibility page: this isn't a case of ownership or censorship, this is you trying unilaterally to insert your own content into the article. Please revert yourself and start a discussion on the talk page. Failure to do so will get you reported. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- Agree with Roscelese above, please stop the edit war. If you feel the links belong, start a discussion on the article's talk page and talk it over with people, and try and gain consensus. That's how consensus works at Wikipedia. Dayewalker (talk) 23:16, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
prohuman's own words
edit"funny, how people who are complaining about me adding relevant links to certain important pages about the areas relating to abortion, where they had not done anything to spread accurate knowledge to stop this so-called culture war--where actually rights are at stake.
but b*tch about a edit war that they started.
you tell me, how in your fragile mind, does the links that i added to the pro-choice site are not relevant to the abortion debate or to anyone wanting to learn what pro-choice is?
Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:04, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. In general, it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' userpages without their permission. Instead, please bring the matter to their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. Please refer to Wikipedia:User page for more information on User page etiquette. Thank you. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 23:10, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Warning
editIf I see any kind of personal attack like this, which is in violation of WP:NPA, you will be reported to AIV and ANI for block. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Discussion versus edit warring
edit{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Courcelles 23:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
- Your personal attacks against User:Roscelese will not be tolerated. Do it again and the next block will be indef. Courcelles 23:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Block extended to 1 week
editDue to your clear block evasion with Dellchips (talk · contribs) (whom I just indefinitely blocked), I have reset your block and extended it to 1 week. Be advised that any further evasion of your block will lead to you being indefinitely blocked. Regards, –MuZemike 23:33, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
editIn light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.
