February 2016[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Help desk, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It won't irritate the user whom I was correcting as I was the user I was correcting - my entry should not have been on the Help page as I determined and as others commented. Thanks HarvPhys (talk) 22:17, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that was a mistake by me- sorry about that. Although looks like someone has now closed the discussion, so no harm done. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits to Talk:List of organizations opposing mainstream science could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. FuriouslySerene (talk) 14:57, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was careful to not make any threats explicit or implied. However, at this point, I'd prefer to focus on my points about needed changes. What is response? Thanks HarvPhys (talk) 17:32, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
