[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Welcome to the Wikipedia, Pokey5945! And thanks for the contribution to the Ward Churchill article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are some perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
- When you have time, take a look at The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
- If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
Some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.
Best of luck, Pokey5945, and have fun! Ombudsman 00:39, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] User page?
Perhaps you would like to create a user page for yourself, even something very brief. I find that having some words to look at helps other editors get a sense of your editing interest. Especially with jumping in with first edits on a politicized topic, it assuages some doubts about possible editing agenda.
Btw. I'd like to see the emails where CU staff discuss hiring Churchill because of ethnicity. If you have a citation/link to those, I think it merits inclusion. But just rumors that such emails might exist isn't WP:V. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 22:17, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Chance to fight vandalism
While I certainly disagree with some of the credence you give to the anti-Churchill faction than I would like, I greatly appreciate that you've refrained from the sort of ranting that has repeatedly marred the page. So with that, I was hoping you could help me fight the destructive editing by User:Fluterst who keeps sticking in nonsense like (and reverting perfectly neutral changes while s/he's at it):
- Ward LeRoy Churchill (born October 2, 1947) is a disgraced American academic, arguably the most hated in the country.
If you roll back that sort of thing when you see it, you'll win lots of warm fuzzies from me :-). And you'll probably get a sense of why I'm a bit defensive about what are pretty shallow criticisms that keep appearing (maybe I jumped on your changes more than I should have, given your newness to WP and a history of seeing this stuff).

[edit] WP:3RR
Wikipedia 3 revert rule is there to ensure people do not engage in edit wars over article content by requiring editors to not revert more than 3 times in any 24 hour period. It appears that you have performed 4 reverts on Ward Churchill in the past few hours so I am kindly reminding you to not do any more reverts. I encourage you to discuss the information on the article talk page.--MONGO 06:14, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] article from churchill

[edit] Comments on Churchill talk page
I very much appreciate your well-stated comments on the Churchill talk page. If you look through the recent comments on that page and on Churchill essay controversy talk page, you can see that I've been trying to deal with ad hominem attacks from Lulu that represent bad faith despite my bending over backward to assume good faith on his part. It's just nice not to be the only voice shouting in the wind. – Doug Bell talk•contrib 00:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World can't wait
This anon editor seems to keep inserting this petition thing on a number of pages, including Churchill's. See the Churchill talk page about this. You did good to remove it, in my opinion. Churchill might well have signed the petition (though if you say it's not verified, he might not have), but even if he did it seems trivial. Activists and academics sign lots of such things... I've signed a moderate number, and no one cares about my signature that much. So even if it had a proper cite, it's still unintersting. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 00:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lumbee
I only gave one piece of evidence showing the Tuscarora blood, but there are many more than "just one" source like you have posted. Please take a look at the discussion page, and you can see the other sources of this info. To me, the wording was fine the way it was, prior to your recent changes.--Roskerah 18:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
