[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome!

Hello, Anon166, 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:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Do not hesitate to make bold edits either: the best thing about Wikipedia is that if you make a mistake, someone else can fix it! That being said, please respect the integrity of articles and do not vandalise them. If you have a question as to what constitutes the difference, please ask on my talk page. It's also a good suggestion to take some time to get to know the Wikipedia policies and guidelines: this will make for a much easier time while editing.

If you ever need help figuring out what to do next on Wikipedia, please let me know, and I'll be more than happy to direct you towards some projects. Again, welcome!  ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 23:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inappropriate comments at Exmormonism

Your recent comments ([1] and [2]) were an unnecessary personal attack on User:Storm Rider. Based upon your previous acrimonious language on Talk:Exmormonism, you haven't given the impression that you're familiar with the Wikipedia policies on no personal attacks or civility; I suggest that you read over them.

Contributions from all points of view are welcome and necessary at Wikipedia, but you'll find it much easier to participate in a consensual discussion if you assume the good faith of other editors and not accuse them of being cultists. Continuing to attack others can result in administrative actions against your account or IP address. Tijuana BrassE@ 20:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

It's not as though Storm Rider has his hands clean. According to him, Exmormons are like mental patients in that they undergo regular counseling, and I'm a rebel without a cause whose intellect is not advanced enough to understand the deep things he has to say. [3] [4]. Rather than whine at WP:PAIN, I just stopped talking to him... I suppose I could have ratted him out, but why? Reswobslc 18:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kirtland Safety Society

Please see Talk:Joseph Smith, Jr./Archive 5 for a discussion of Brodie's reliability. Brodie as a source has also been discussed on a number of other articles relating to the Latter Day Saint movement. Best wishes. WBardwin 07:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Something of a personal question

Anon, after noticing your determined stance on the LDS articles here over a period of time, I'm curious about your background. I realize that this is a somewhat personal question, and you're free to decide not to answer, but your involvement in Wikipedia has been... "atypical", in a sense. By that, I'm referring to your exclusive focus on LDS-related articles, coming from a viewpoint that is seemingly against any positive portrayal against the Mormon Church. Of course, personal point of view is (or, better said, should be) irrelevant when authoring an article, so long as the facts are straight, but your tone is often aggressive in nature and has made it difficult to win support or reconciliation from other editors.

In the interest of better understanding your motivation and working out differences between you and the number of Mormon editors here — and keeping in mind that I'm an ex-Mormon myself — what's up? Why the aggressive tone? Why no, for lack of a better term, community involvement?

Thanks in advance for any answer you feel like giving. Tijuana Brass¡Épa! 07:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but my personal regard for knowledge and reason is not for sale. Just because someone chooses to stand up to groupthink, alone perhaps, doesn't make them wrong in any way. I hail from noble traditions. Anon166 17:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
