Say Hello

[edit]

Hi there. Welcome. I know that Wikipedia can seem pretty confusing at first, so please come and say hello for some help to get you started. (Note - you might want to RIGHT click on that, and open in in a new tab or something - and when you get there, please wait a few minutes for a reply)  Chzz  ►  22:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

[edit]

Hi, Tboned208. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  22:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Hi, removing sourced and verifiable content with your own unsourced materiel, or own research, is not acceptable. All content should be well sourced (read WP:SOURCE). Especially when that material contains things such as "Knocking out people who write lies about the club on Wikipedia", and you would appear to have a conflict of interest, which may prevent you from writing in a unbiased, clear way which shows all sides to the argument. Also, I presume that you were the IP address that I previously reverted, which added "who ever keeps writing this crap is going to get a foot stuck up their ass", this is unacceptable, and not in the style of this encyclopedia. In answer to your other question, no I did not originally add the content. - Kingpin13 (talk) 05:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's great that you're willing to learn about our policies, and that you want to help. One of the most important things is, like I already said, that all information is verifiable. So if you "know" something, even if it's true, you must give it a reliable, secondary source. - Kingpin13 (talk) 14:15, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's okay to remove dubious unsourced content, but I better approach would be to tag it with {{FACT}} for a week or so, and remove it if it's still unsourced after that. You may also want to check the current sources in the article (the links that are under References) - Kingpin13 (talk) 15:42, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
