Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Graham Hancock‎. 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. Doug Weller talk 09:37, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

I reject your directive on the following basis:

1. There was no attack. The person in question is clearly objectively biased against Graham Hancock. Calling someone biased in the interest of keeping the article on point and without prejudice does not constitute a personal attack.

2. I also see my supposed "target" has made multiple disparaging remarks with regards to Hancock's work. I would say that these are legitimate attacks on the subject, and your policy should take into account any and all disparagement including against anyone not present if the intent really is to protect the community. Have you provided these notices to the person in question? It seems to me that your selection of my post if quite arbitrary. Ritwikvd (talk) 09:54, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:John Campbell (YouTuber). If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Doug Weller talk 09:39, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

WP:NPA applies only to editors. Our sourcing policy and our Wikipedia:Neutral point of view deal with subjects. Doug Weller talk 14:28, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
