[edit] Welcome

Welcome

Hello, 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:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.


If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. . dave souza, talk 09:20, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your courtesy and for formally inviting me into the wiki community, but I must decline. I do not want a username. This site is a farce and demonstrates to me how terrible it is when small groups of people attempt to control knowledge. I often do searches in Google and very frequently WIki articles are returned at the top. I am so sick of reading blatantly biased articles on Wiki, I consider this site to be junk. I have tried in the past to contribute, but sadly, most articles on wiki have a contingent of "hawks" that revert, revert, revert so that there is no possible way to change an article. I can cite dozens and dozens of terribly biased articles that are uneditable due to a small amount of people who "hover over them" day and night. I have a life. I don't have time to hover over an article. Most wikipedians are white caucasions who consider themselves "intellectuals" (I call them pseudointellectuals) and many of them probably are males, white collar, lean towards socialism, lean against capitalism, lean towards secularism, lean against religiosity, more urban, less rural, and spend far too much time on the computer. The result is inevitable: systemic bias throughout the site. So no, I will not get a username. I have no intention of validating this site by getting a username. It is not required and I will not do it.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. It appears you have not followed this policy at Talk:Intelligent design. Please always follow our core policies. Thank you. Orangemarlin 05:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 01:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Barack Obama. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Loonymonkey (talk) 17:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
Your continued tone at Talk:Barack Obama is not helpful towards working collaboratively with other editors. If you continue to be incivil, you may be blocked. Please consider changing the way you comment on talk pages. Thank you. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 02:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] mccain controversy

for clarity, it may be helpful if you mark your comment with '''Delete''', since this is an informal 'vote' as to whether to keep or delete the article. signing the comments would also be good. Anastrophe (talk) 19:48, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

Despite several warnings, you continue to edit disruptively and troll talk pages.

This is not acceptable behavior for Wikipedia editors. I have blocked you from editing for the next 24 hours. Please read and follow the Wikipedia policies on editing in a civil manner, don't make personal attacks, and assume good faith about other editors.

Please be advised that we are perfectly capable of and willing to block your entire IP range if you keep editing in this manner from nearby IP addresses. Threatening us as above is only going to get you further blocked and your neighbors all angry at you. Please don't go down this road - we can stop you from editing, permanently if we have to. We don't want to do that to anyone, but we will if you continue to provoke people.

Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. Please stop. You're welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.


Ahhh cmon Gerogie...make it permanent....why would anyone want to contribute to a site run by trolls? Thats right, you are a troll for banning someone who only wanted to contribute. Don't like what I legitimately contribute? Thats your problem. Now, please make the ban permanent, or I'll gladly come back in 2 days and continue to make legitimate contributions. You, georgie, are the troll. Now stay off my user page, as long as I can edit this page, I'll be happy to delete any comments you further make.

This page has been semi-protected for 24 hrs to go along with the block, per the above trolling. What you do afterwards is (per WP policy) up to you, feel free to remove everything and replace it with pictures of kittens if you want. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 05:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Blocked
You have been blocked for 55 hours for use of another IP to either evade the block or create the impression of a separate user. -Daniel Case (talk) 18:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC). To contest this block, add the text {{unblock}} on this page, along with an explanation of why you believe this block to be unjustified. You can also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list. Please be sure to include your username (if you have one) and IP address in your email.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "I request an unblock as this block was not appropriate. I was blocked under a false accusation that I illegally sockpuppeting. My other IP discussion page is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:64.46.9.46 and it was determined that I did not violate any wikipedia policy. Our (my wife and I's) otherpage also now contains a notice that both IP's are used by the same person. It does not violate wikipedia policy to contribute on the site from different IP's. During my block on one IP, I honored that block and never once have I made a post while a block was in effect. The block on this IP was lifted on 12 March. As of 13 March, I was no longer under any disciplinary action and free to contribute again. My wife and I are on business in Canada. Relaxing last night, and knowing our block had been lifted, we freely contributed again...naturally the IP was different, but this did not violate any policy. I was immediately blocked on both IP's for an accusation that I was evading a block, which was false. I am requesting this block be lifted because no policy was violated. While the majority of my contributions come from this IP, I often go on business trips and at the moment, I am in Vancouver, BC. There is no requirement on Wikipedia that ALL my posts MUST be from the same IP. So long as I am not evading or deliberately deceiving people, I violate no policy by using different IP's as I do travel. For more information on this case, please review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:64.46.9.46 Please lift this block. Thanks."

Decline reason: "This block has already expired. — Black Kite 17:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.
