A summary of site policies and guidelines you should be aware of

• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, using <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.

Question

Do you know User:Krizpo (I mean, know Krizpo off Wikipedia)? You don't need to identify either one of you, I'm just wondering how you know each other outside of WP. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't know him, but he is good at editing. (Africanstoner (talk) 07:00, 26 July 2012 (UTC)).

Then you are literally the only person who thinks so (besides Krizpo). Especially since his editing undeniably flat out violates at least 3 different WP core policies. As a side note, I don't believe you. I am certain that you either are Krizpo or know him, because it is unbelievable that two different users would suddenly appear at the same time trying to add the exact same type of policy-violating information.

Sockpuppet investigation notification

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Krizpo. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
