Welcome
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, Divineofficer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Hoodoo (folk magic) does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 05:46, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- Please stop simply re-adding your material to the Voodoo article. You plainly don't have consensus as yet. Please look at WP:BRD. This stands for Bold (as in edit boldly), Revert, (as in someone who disagrees with you reverts), Discuss, (as in the two of you then discuss it on the talkpage and try to reach consensus). Simply continuing to revert is called an edit war and can end up in you being blocked, whether what you are adding is correct or not. Please discuss the material you want to add on the Talkpage of the relevent article. Thanks. Fainites barleyscribs 19:22, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
