A belated welcome! edit

 
Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!  

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Digitaldoofus. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 16:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

December 2014 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 16:37, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Are Marxists far left? edit

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a Marxist slogan. That's one reason why your edits were incorrect. The other is that it changed the lead so it no longer reflected the article accurately. Egalitarianism is a link in the article. Dougweller (talk) 16:41, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

December 2014 edit

  Please do not attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Dougweller. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 17:57, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Far-left politics. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I corrected an incorrect statement, and it was deleted. Your characterization of my correction as "personal analysis" is incorrect. Anyone with a modicum of logic can review the series of entries and see there was nothing but sheer censorship at play in removing the proper correction I contributed.


From your comments here and on my talk page, it's obvious that you don't understand how Wikipedia works - fair enough in one way as you're new, but it would be nice if you started by assuming that other editors might be right. You need to read WP:VERIFY and WP:NOR. It is your opinion that you were adding to the article and my talk page. Dougweller (talk) 20:03, 11 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

November 2015 edit

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Yerba mate, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dr. K. 21:27, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Yerba mate. 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 often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.
