When you need to ask a question or seek assistance, you can visit pages such as the Help Desk, Editor Assistance or the New Contributors' Help page. They all fulfill different rôles depending on what kind of help you need. If you would like direct access to an experienced editor, you can join the adopt-a-user project or just approach someone directly via their discussion page. Always sign whenever you leave a comment by using four tildes (~~~~) or

. Whenever you edit a page, even if the edit is minor, you should include a descriptive edit summary. I hope that you find Wikipedia to be a rewarding experience. – Adrian M. H. 14:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

10/1/07 - I removed a substantial amount of inflammatory, apparently politically motivated content from the Edgewood, New Mexico page. This appears to be primarily election-year argument, and is not appropriate for Wikipedia. As the original author of much of the original content of this entry, I would like to ask that people find other venues for airing their differences with the Town government. The area is served by two newspapers, both of which appear willing to print a wide variety of opinions. For Wikipedia, let's stick to facts and hope that we can find a respectful and mutually beneficial means of resolving differences among the people of the Edgewood area.

You have more solid grounds for deleting that material in that is does not have any references to reliable sources. But if that other editor provides well-referenced material then you will have little basis for removing it. Your remark that you are the "original author" carries no weight in the Wikipedia community. (See WP:OWN.)

By the way, a better place for your admonition above is in Talk:Edgewood, New Mexico. When there is a dispute about the content of an article, its Talk page is the right place for each editor to provide an explanation and to try to persuade other editors.

Thank you. I'm relatively new at this, and am still learning the protocols. I appreciate the help! Weckerleje 13:28, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been here six months and I am still learning. Sbowers3 14:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:EAR

Just a note to inform you that I have provided further advice at EAR, just in case you miss it. And since you slipped through the net of the Welcoming Committee, I have added a useful set of links at the top here. Adrian M. H. 14:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yo!

Greetings. I left you a long message on at Talk:Edgewood, New Mexico. Meanwhile, please remember to "sign" all your messages on Talk pages (but not Articles edits!) with the four tildes, with which the "signature" is automatically generated once you save the edit. Otherwise, it's hard to follow conversations. Take care, HG | Talk 03:06, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Be sure to sign your comments. Also, better to not interject within another person's text on Talk pages, see WP:TALK, esp during disagreements. I may try to move your comments, ok? Also, it's fine to use Talk to iron stuff out, meeting in person is sometimes done but by no means necessary or even officially encouraged (I believe). Take care, HG | Talk 03:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links for New Mexico articles

Please don't worry that I'm following you around; I watch all of the articles to which you added these links, so it popped up on my watchlist. The links that you posted, as "virtual tours", really aren't the kind of links that are supposed to be here, and the inline links (for example, on Torrance County) either don't belong or should be placed as references for those statements: whether or not you intend it, the manner in which they are placed is improper. Again, please don't think that I bear ill will toward you; were it so, I would have placed multiple warnings on your page instead of explaining the problems on the article talk page and on here. I have not, by the way, violated WP:3RR, which reads "Contributors must not perform more than three reverts...". Nyttend (talk) 00:27, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughtful reply - certainly much better than the one I got from the "editor" assistance request. Your choice of words suggests that there is, in fact, a proper way to post the links, and I'd appreciate your guidance in that respect. The virtual tours really do provide a visual idea of what the communities are like, and a link or reference to EVEDA would be useful. I did all the photography for the virtual tours, and I'm not sure how I can present them without being directly involved. It seems counter-intuitive that links to virtual tours would be prohibited. As for the EVEDA link on Torrance County, are you suggesting that I include it in the References section rather than as a "community organization?"

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.
