October 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to American Hunters and Shooters Association has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Re:

you may want to read WP:COI, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOT. Those will answer pretty much all your questions. Thingg ^⊕^⊗ 16:32, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Minor changes to AHSA

Please do not attempt to disguise your changes to the AHSA as minor. Surely in your role as political director of AHSA your contributions would not want to be seen as dishonest. Furthermore, you really should review WP:COI, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOT. Wiki strongly discourages individual with conflicts of interest from editing affected articles.

Changes to AHSA page

Please discuss any changes to the AHSA page on the Discussion page before you make them. Wikipedia has clear rules about what is allowable in terms of bias and neutral-point-of-view. Your edits have not been NPOV, and thus, should be discussed prior to main page placement; note that they will always be reverted if not substantiated with third-party sources and if clearly-biased.--E8 (talk) 01:41, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, LBZoeller, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to an article 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:

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! E8 (talk) 01:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

LBZoeller, you really need to stop making controversial edits to the AHSA page. If you want to make changes like that, you must discuss them on the talk page before you make them. You are skirting very close to violating the three-revert-rule and are either violating or close to violating numerous other policies including WP:COI, WP:OWN, and WP:SPA. If you do not stop making controversial changes to that article without engaging in a civil discussion on the talk page that reaches a clear consensus to make the changes, I will have no choice but to sanction your editing privileges. Consider this your warning. Thingg ^⊕^⊗ 22:00, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I don't have a problem with you making changes to the page per se, but since the topic is clearly a contentious subject, you must propose major changes on the talk page and gain consensus for said changes before you add them to the page. Thingg ^⊕^⊗ 22:04, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
