Article and user talk pages[edit]

Regarding your comments at Talk:Cotton ceiling, I just wanted to let you know that the purpose of an article Talk page is to provide a forum for editors to discuss how to improve the associated article in line with core Wikipedia policies and guidelines such as neutral point of view, Verifiability, and the use of reliable sourcing. Please note that the Talk page is not a forum for general thoughts about a topic, nor for statements about what may or may not be permitted on the page while you are carefully monitoring it. As a new editor, you get quite a bit of extra latitude while you learn the ropes here, but I just wanted to let you know that if an experienced editor had written something like this, it might have been removed or collapsed as contrary to the purpose of an article Talk page. In the future, please use the article talk page in order to discuss specific proposals on how to improve the article.

On your user talk page, you generally have a lot more latitude, but there are still guidelines that apply. In particular, the last paragraph of your user page may be problematic if that is truly why you are here, because it may be incompatible with the purpose of Wikipedia, which is to create a neutral, verifiable, online encyclopedia, and not to right great wrongs. You might want to consider removing or modifying the description of why you are here. If you have any questions about this, or anything else regarding Wikipedia, please feel free to {{Reply}} below, ask questions at the WP:Help desk, or contact me on my talk page any time. I've left you some links in the Welcome message above that may be helpful to you as you get on board. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! Mathglot (talk) 05:36, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
