[edit] Welcome from Redwolf24

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We as a community are glad to have you and thank you for creating a user account! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

P.S. I like messages :-P


[edit] WinCustomize

Hi there! As you are new to Wikipedia, I encourage you to read the policies and guidelines, which will give you some of the background useful when editing articles.

If you want to make assertions in the way that you have done on the WinCustomize, you must provide evidence for them, or they will be removed. Wikipedia is not a place for opinion, only for fact (though these can be facts about the opinions of particular groups or notable people), and these facts must be verifiable.

Specifically to the WinCustomize article, if you say that Brad Wardell has bashed Konfabulator - well, first of all, it should not be you that is saying this, as your personal opinion is not important; you should attribute the statement to group of people (perhaps Konfabulator users? Mac users? People who have been banned from WinCustomize?) that you can point to, and you should provide links to those places where those people expressed that opinion (Konfab forum threads?), and you should also link to the places where they say Brad Wardell bashed Konfabulator, so that people can go and see for themselves. If it is as common a situation as you imply this should not be at all hard.

Similarly, if you wish to say that Jafo is a bad admin, you should provide evidence of this. Given that you should be writing without bias, it is also appropriate to write about the large number of users over at WinCustomize that do feel Jafo does a good job. You must attempt to cover all points of view, even if you hold a particular one. If you are confident that others would come to the same conclusion with all the evidence available, there should be no problem in you doing this. If you are not, then maybe you shouldn't be writing it in the first place. :-)

Note that a link to the WinCustomize forums is not going to be particularly helpful as an example fo elitism (especially if it doesn't work!). A link to a particular forum thread or threads on the topic might be more appropriate - I seem to remember that this discussion came up recently, so you could use that thread.
