[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

Hi, and and welcome to the Wikipedia community. Here are a few good links for newcomers, and a reason, at the end, for an edit I made to X-Men: The Last Stand.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

The reason for my edit removing "To date however, X-Men: The Last Stand grossed over $175 million in the United States, outgrossing even The Da Vinci Code" is the policy Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly. Saying "to date", drawing comparisons to another film in current release, and citing a figure that will quickly change is all of a temporal nature. Conversely, the notation of a box-office record being set, and the statistical drop afterward, are statements that will remain the same for the life of the article. When the film eventually leaves theaters and Variety, etc., publish the final box office gross, that, too, would be a more permanent, non-temporal bit of information to add.

There are so many policies, it takes awhile to absorb a solid working handful. We all learn 'em the hard way, so don't feel bad! Again, welcome, and happy Wiki-ing! If I can be of help or advice, please don't hesitate to ask. -- Tenebrae 05:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

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 to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. --Drat (Talk) 03:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello 203.177.161.61, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
