Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Sources edit

Please read WP:IRS and in particular WP:SPS. I've reverted your recent edit because you are citing a self-published book. This is a common error for new users - please don't let it discourage you. Dougweller (talk) 15:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Esus edit

An Esus-Jesus connection is not accepted by the consensus of scholarship, and in any case, could not be raised on the Esus page only, since this article should not be in contradiction to what other articles say... AnonMoos (talk) 07:51, 23 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

You take a large number of words to say not all that much of substance, but what you said doesn't change the fact that a putative Jesus-Esus connection has not been accepted by current mainstream scholarship, and is therefore WP:FRINGE -- and "fringe" theories are not covered by Wikipedia unless they've risen to notability in another way (such as with Time Cube). I know nothing about Mr. Virpiranta personally (nor is it really necessary that I know anything), because what's far more important is knowing that the Jesus-Esus theory is most prominently being pushed by the Sacred Name Movement, and almost none of the unique hypotheses about linguistic history offered by that particular group have gained any acceptance among reputable linguistic scholars...

P.S. You may not realize that linguistic etymology since the days of the Junggrammatiker has many aspects of a science, so that it is simply not true that any proposed etymology is as good as any other proposed etymology. The combination of general linguistic principles with specific historical evidence is often quite sufficient to allow scholars to decide that one proposed etymology is much more plausible than another... 02:37, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

January 2013 edit

  Hello: You appear to be engaged in an edit war at Nazism and occultism‎. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and can lead to animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page in question: Talk:Nazism and occultism. You will see a tread has been started as to the subject matter at hand.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, you should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Both continued edit warring and/or breaking the three-revert rule can lead to a block. Thank you, Kierzek (talk) 17:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
