LivingGuildpact
- Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
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!
Mentorship
editI highly suggest you take Oshwah up on his offer. You seem to have a very large misunderstanding about how Wikipedia works and he could help you, but the first step is for you to recognize that you have a problem. DMacks is not stalking you, he is preventing your vandalism. Yes, at this point, it is vandalism. You made an edit, it was reverted, and instead of moving to the article's talk page to discuss the edit, you simply added it back. That is not how Wikipedia works. You are adding things to articles without any consensus. Doing that once is fine, because it starts the conversation. However, if someone reverts it, you MUST go to the talk page and discuss it. I don't know if you have some mistaken idea that you have freedom of speech here, but you do not. You have no rights here, as this is a private website. We understand that you are a new editor and this place can be confusing and scary, but you need to stop your current behavior now. Take Oshwah up on his offer and stop trying to get DMacks blocked. It will not happen. --Tarage (talk) 02:03, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- I must disagree that LivingGuildpact's edits constitute vandalism, as they do not - it is only vandalism if there is a deliberate attempt to damage Wikipedia. Disruptive, yes, but not vandalism. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:45, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
