An extended welcome
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.
Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 18:15, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
What the heck are you doing? Mike in il (talk) 03:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
- the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
- the block is no longer necessary because you
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. SQLQuery me! 05:24, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
No reason was given for my block beyond "Clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia." What does that mean? No edit showing some behavior I could correct, no nothing, just BLOCK with some inflammatory statement. I added a couple respectful devil's advocate comments to talk pages and this is the response? Any dissenting view is met with this overwhelming force? You can leave the block in place. It is a badge of shame for you all and for this place. I wear it with pride for the sole sin of contributing diverse opinion to your echo chamber of hate. Diversity is a crime here apparently and my desire to add to your anger and bias is zilch. Maybe in time you can all evolve to some better version and abandon your hatred of "others".
- And, what can you tell me about the account User:Maoler? SQLQuery me! 16:32, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
