User talk:68.38.91.230

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 68.38.91.230). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia.

[edit] No personal attacks

Regarding your comments at Talk:Rick Ross: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Please do not make them. It is your responsibility to foster and maintain a positive online community in Wikipedia.

Some suggestions:

  • Discuss the article, not the subject;
  • Discuss the edit, not the editor;
  • Never suggest a view is invalid simply because of who its proponent is;
  • If you feel attacked, do not attack back.

[edit] Amusing

  • An amusing rant nonetheless, though User:Jossi's right that it won't stand for very long in the Wikipedia community. Both because of etiquette, and the various controversial opinions on the subject matter in question. Yours, Smeelgova 19:33, 20 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Please stop

I have asked you several times already to stop making negative comments about my motives and my affiliation as that is in violation of our no personal attacks policy. As you can see I am not editing that article. Other editors have added the material that you object to, and have tried to explain to you their reasons. You can try and make an effort to understand they are saying rather than attack me for absolutely no reason whatsoever. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
