Welcome edit

Hello Soundofyellow and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to the page Sexism, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 00:54, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please format your comments on talk pages edit

Please see wp:talk pages#Indentation. Use colons ":" to force indents. If the indentation is too deep, use a {{od}} to generate a "carryover line" like this:

Not formatting makes it very difficult to follow the conversation. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 05:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Example: Comment 1 (signed joe)

Reply to joe (signed steve)
Another reply to joe [same indentation] (signed bill)
Reply to bill (signed jennifer)
Reply to jennifer ....

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Google Search. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Deadbeef 08:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

A Voice for Men edit

See here why it is WP:BLACKLISTED - MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/October 2012#avoiceformen.com and spam archives Not a very impressive readership. Also MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/December 2012#Avoiceformen.com discusses options. Jim1138 (talk) 17:58, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Sexism are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Also, please avoid personal attacks: Wikipedia:No personal attacks. I would suggest you take this up on WP:ANI or WP:RSN. Article talk pages are for discussion on improving the article. Jim1138 (talk) 19:44, 25 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
