User talk:FenderPriest

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, FenderPriest! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! --Flex (talk/contribs) 21:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of simply reverting...

Please explain the reason. Normally, blank reverts should be only for obvious vandalism. In this case, you are deleting a blog. In very general, ELs pointing to blogs should be killed wp:rs... but it would be a courtesy to explain that in the delete. Also, since this is not an exception to the wp:3rr, you must not revert against that article for this reason again ***WOOPSS*** edit to add... "today"... the 3RR rule is more complicated than that *blush*. sinneed (talk) 04:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I actually led you astray... the reason would be Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided. The fact that it is not associated with the organization is probably not significant... in fact arguing that the organizations blog should be allowed would strengthen an argument that someone with a problem with it should. In any event, I would encourage you to talk with the person adding it. Edit warring over it will just get one or both of you blocked, or the article protected in some random state. All the best. sinneed (talk) 23:27, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under your preferences there is an annoying but useful option. You can tell Wikipedia to prompt you if you don't enter an edit summary. I had to turn it on, because I forget, and I make a LOT of edits... and with no edit summary folks are always writing to ask me "errr, why did you do whatever-random-seeming-thing?" Hope that helps. :) I am going to add a block of links to information, rules, guidelines and other stuff I have found useful. It is a bit dated, but I think still worth the effort. :)sinneed (talk) 23:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism warning

You have removed fully sourced material, discussed on talk pages of articles and agreed to. This is vandalism.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Sovereign Grace Ministries, you will be blocked from editing. jbolden1517 ^Talk 13:43, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is my opinion that this warning was incivil, and I have opened an ANI. I would not have killed the entire section, because the editor is clearly using the article as a sandbox,.. more exactly I probably might have killed it, then restored it (I'll never be an admin, even if I gain the knowledge, my temper is toooo short). I don't see anything wrong in the section other than the fact that it is only peripherally related to the subject, badly written, unfocused and weaky sourced. I'll POV flag it in a few days if it doesn't improve. If it still doesn't improve, I'll delete it a few days later.sinneed (talk) 16:34, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
