Hello, Mike0000000, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Anti-communist mass killings, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

@StephenMacky1 Would you please tell me exactly what I didn't do? I understand some things I could add, but I am wary of giving this any more thought without any help from a like-minded person – the wiki page is full of a whole range of sickening disinformation, trying to paint the deaths of communists as a genocide (which is impossible, as communists are not an ethnicity, an ethnic people, or part of anything that qualifies in the UN & Genocide Convention's definition of genocide), and I would rather not attempt to contribute to such a page, when many others have commented on how it's biased & objectively makes no sense. If you won't help yourself, please remove me – I've already lost my apetite and some quality time. Mike0000000 (talk) 21:46, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You included your personal opinions without citing any reliable sources. Also a Wikipedia page is not a reliable source. If you have concerns about a Wikipedia page, you can freely bring your concerns on that page's talk page. Just keep discussions limited to improving the page. I'd also like to point out that the 'genocide' classification is not treated as an indisputable fact on that page. If you do not want to contribute to a page, it is fine too since no one is forcing you to. We're all volunteers here. StephenMacky1 (talk) 22:09, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The use of talkpages

[edit]

Please don't post stream-of-consciousness opinion pieces on talkpages, such as this (which I have reverted). Talkpages are for discussing improvements to the related main page, not for comments on the article subject. See WP:NOTFORUM. Bishonen | tålk 19:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC).[reply]

<personal attacks redacted> Stop that, or you'll lose access to this talkpage too. Acroterion (talk) 19:56, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Acroterion Personal attack? Ugh, so u completely go for deleting and censoring. You call criticism "personal attacks." Yeah, mod abuse. Will u revert that or strawman this and delete, keep ruining talkpage for me by using mods? Mike0000000 (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Acroterion
dude, you removed almost EVERYTHING I wrote, questions, and more. Mike0000000 (talk) 20:05, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Talkpage access revoked as promised. You don't get to attack other editors like that here or anywhere else. If you return to this combative conduct after the block expires, the next block is likely to be indefinite. Acroterion (talk) 20:08, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I endorse revocation of talkpage access, and also endorse the warning that future misconduct will likely result in an indefinite block. Cullen328 (talk) 20:12, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 19:36, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
