User talk:Repentance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome!
Hello Repentance, 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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 have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Vary | Talk 15:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Lutheranism. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Vary | Talk 16:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Holocaust
I didn't consider it vandalism, as it was probably a good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia. But an article isn't a talk page. Nowhere in the article should there be any material with a tone that is conversational or instructional. The talk page is the proper place for talking about an article, not the article itself. I hope we're talking about the same edit here (the Martin Luther bit). Robert K S 21:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- PS Also when editing someone's talk page, a new message should be left at the bottom of the page, not the top. Cheers. Robert K S 21:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
