January 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Gogolwold. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ellen Ternan seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Slingsbyb, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). 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 Help desk, or the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

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:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Many people come to Wikipedia prepared to right great wrongs. That goal may not be achievable in a non-partisan encyclopedia (such as Wikipedia), but you are welcome to make articles more neutral, provided that you go about it in an acceptable fashion, with balance and with adequate citation of pertinent WP:Reliable sources, Happy editing, Slingsbyb.--Quisqualis (talk) 04:28, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
