Use of first-person pronouns edit
Hi Richard Jay Morris! Thank you for your edits of Endorphins, but please avoid using first-persons pronouns. You can read more about this in the manual of style: Manual_of_Style#First-person_pronouns. Lova Falk talk 10:18, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I really am having a very serious problem accepting the Wikipedia edict that we must not use the first person pronouns "we" and "our" when we are referring to or discussing "our" physical bodies and all of their wonderful, usually perfectly functioning components (cells, organs, systems, muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, etc.) because "we" do all have physical bodies and they all have the same components (except for the organic differences that exist between females and males). I emphatically and completely believe that whenever we refer to "our" physical bodies (and all of their components) in cold, unfeeling, non-emotional, non-caring, language (just using the articles "a" or "the" instead of our using the pronouns "we" and "our") then I sincerely believe that we are much more likely to act destructively and to communicate violently with ourselves and our own physical bodies; and, that we are also much more likely to act very destructively and to communicate more violently with others and towards others physical bodies!!! I also believe that when we use the articles "a" or "the" when we are referring to "our" or others physical bodies that then we are much more likely to merely view our or others physical bodies as if "our" or their physical bodies are nothing more than just some machine that we are just coldly, clinically and dispassionately viewing and studying instead of our constantly acknowledging how wonderfully blessed we all are to be experiencing life through our physical bodies!
Because the words "positive" and "negative" both have so many meanings, I strive to always replace the word "positive" with "healing," "compassionate" or some other word that clearly describes why something is "positive"; and "negative" with "destructive," "deadly," or some other word that clarifies my meaning.
Also, would you explain to me how I am supposed to use the four WikiLove symbols: the Heart, Kitty, ? and the Tools. I do not know how to use them?????????? Also, how can I communicate with other editors????????
Would you be willing to call me at [951-682-1196] and to talk to me about my above questions?

August 2013 edit
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bradley Manning. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. The matter of surnames was brought up before. Please follow WP Manual of Style guidelines. Thanks. – S.

Hello, I'm Egghead06. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Russell Brand, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
