From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am 22 and a graduate of London University. My interests are in politics and history, and some philosophy. I have been researching conservatism in western politics.

Welcome!

Hello Isabella84, 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!

Isabella, we love new contributors, and as a historian I am sure you have a lot to give. Please read the links above, in particular the Five pillars, and WP:NPOV - they are crucial to building an encyclopedia without peer. User:CJCurrie is not adding bias to the Harvey Ward page, he is removing it. We do not like words like 'terrorist', 'dictator' because they mean different things to different people. If you would like a little perspective, I refer you to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of modern day dictators for some live debate on these subjects. Feel free to pitch in - but I request that you read all the comments first. Wizzy 15:26, 1 December 2005 (UTC)


Thank you very much for that welcome. A dictator is surely a dictator. What is the problem there? Likewise a terrorist. Why does it matter if some people get upset about facts? We would reach a stage where we could hardly write anything. I cannot understand what the problem is here. Isabella84 15:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Did you read the Articles for deletion debate ? It expresses it much more eloquently that I can here. Your opinion is represented in that debate - did you read the replies ? You can also check Talk:List of dictators, and Talk:List of modern day dictators - for an exhaustive (and exhausting) rehash of what we strive for on Wikipedia around these subjects. There are many long-time Wikipedia contributors in that debate - I do not include myself. Wizzy 15:43, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I would like to leave Wikipedia. I am dissillusioned. Can someone please advise me how to do this. Isabella84 09:08, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
