Welcome
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, Thunder2009, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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! T L Miles (talk) 00:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Your edits to Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi
[edit]Your edits here are not a Neutral Point Of View, and I have reverted most of them. Continuing to edit in such a way may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia in the future, so please consider carefully your nexts edits to Wikipedia. Thank you, Debresser (talk) 21:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
You continue, so:
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Discussing on talk pages and reliable sources
[edit]In respnse to your query: There are a variety of talk pages. How you happened upon the one where you posted your initial question, I'm not sure. Each user has a talk page, and you successfully found mine to post your followup up question. I am putting this reply on your usertalk page. Debresser is the editor who posted warnings to this page. His talk page is located at User talk:Debresser, and you can post on there to ask him questions. (I see you have already found his page and posted there.) Each article also has a talk page, in this case, Talk:Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi. That is the best place to discuss proposed changes to the article. To address your concerns with this article, I can tell you that published resources are considered more reliable than first-hand accounts. If you are getting information by talking to the family, that is not going to be allowed. We have to have something we can cite. Please read WP:RS about using reliable sources. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can answer any more questions for you. LadyofShalott 02:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
