Hi, I'm Juliancolton (talk · contribs). I'd like to personally welcome you and thank you for your contributions thus far. As you probably know, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia collaboratively written entirely by volunteers. If you ever see anything that can be improved—be it correcting a typo or writing a new article—feel free to fix it yourself! Don't worry about making mistakes; one of the many editors will probably notice and quickly correct it. If you have any questions, just place the text {{helpme}} on your talk page, and an administrator will help you shortly. Alternatively, you could join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC channel, where dozens of friendly helpers await. You can find out more about the project here, but I won't bore you with statistics and rules. Just remember to be civil to other editors, to always cite your sources, and to write articles from a neutral point of view, and you should be good to go.
Wikipedia is a huge website; with nearly 3 million articles, it is the single biggest encyclopedia in the world. Additionally, there are thousands of policy and process pages, so it can be a bit overwhelming, even to experienced users. When I was new, I found the Tutorial particularly helpful. You might also want to check out the glossary. The Reference Desk serves as our library reference desk, where you can ask nearly any question imaginable.
The Featured Articles and Good Article pages are good places to look for some of our most well-written and comprehensive articles. On the other end of the spectrum, we have thousands of articles that require cleanup of some sort, so feel free to help out.
I hope you've found this advice helpful. Feel free to contact me for more information. –Juliancolton | Talk 22:26, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
NPOV tag
[edit]Re this edit, if you'd start a section on the article's talk page to explain what the issue it, that might generate more action than comments buried in the wikicode. Dicklyon (talk) 03:53, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
—@Dicklyon:
From what I read about using the section specific NPOV tag before using it, I was under the impression that putting the reason inside the section was a correct way to use it. Including the reason inside the template that accepts a reason isn't burying. I don't get my kicks off drama and was being frank when I said that if the section is neutral then that 'according to whom' block that contains the reason needed removed as well.
