Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Kaltionis! Thank you for your contributions. I am VQuakr and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}}
at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! VQuakr (talk) 01:03, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
HIV Denialism
[edit]Again, welcome! My reply on the article talk page was terse, but I would like to provide a little more explanation here. In your third edit summary you cited WP:DONTREVERT, which links to an essay. Another essay is WP:STATUSQUO - these two essays provide conflicting viewpoints shared by more than one editor, but neither is a "rule". WP:BRD is another explanation of an editing norm here: in short once your edit is reverted you should take that as a signal to discuss rather than to repeat the edit. In particular, arguing through edit summaries is generally unproductive.
Finally, arguing the meta-content about whether a revert was proper isn't a great use of the article talk page; there it is most productive to focus on content, not behavior or editors.
Thanks for your consideration, and one more time: welcome! VQuakr (talk) 01:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the warm welcome, VQuakr! I am still new to Wikipedia since I joined several days ago, so I am yet to brush up on all of the community guidelines. I just wanted to clarify that the belief HIV doesn't cause AIDS is wrong and incorrect, especially because it goes against every scientific study, research, and analyses published on this subject. I apologize if I unwittingly caused damage to the article. Kaltionis (talk) 01:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Don't worry. Wikipedia is hard to break, and even experienced admins sometimes make memorable mistakes without it being (seriously) held against them. VQuakr (talk) 01:22, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
