40Committee

Welcome

Hello, 40Committee, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. 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}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:49, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

We only use reliably published sources

Please do not keep restoring the massive content additions to Majestic 12. Wikipedia only uses content from reliably published sources, not UFO conspiracy sites. And even if the docs were legit, we dont use primary source documents to come up our own analysis and interpretations. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:49, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:40, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyright

Please read Wikipedia:Copyrights, and note that you must not copy-paste massive walls of copyrighted text from other sources anywhere on Wikipedia - whether into articles, or on talk pages. Wikipedia takes copyright violation very seriously, and people who repeatedly breach copyright are liable to find themselves blocked from editing. AndyTheGrump (talk) 06:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia, sources, and conspiracies

I have little doubt that you sincerely believe that the world is run by a lot of conspirators, and that the CIA pays people to edit Wikipedia, and hide any information about those conspiracies. Maybe you also sincerely believe that these undercover CIA agents are so determined to hide what they are doing that they spend 7 years or more making tens of thousands of edits, almost all of which have nothing to do with conspiracies, in order to eventually camouflage a small number of conspiracy-related reverts that eventually come up after many years, or maybe you just accused an editor of working for the CIA without actually having checked his editing history, to see whether that accusation was plausible. Perhaps you also believe that all the Wikipedia policies and guidelines about reliable sources, undue weight, and so on, are just a pretext for deleting the TRUTH about those conspiracies when it is posted by one of the privileged few who know the truth. However, the owners of Wikipedia are free to choose what they do and do not accept on their web site, and, whether rightly or wrongly, the choice is to accept only what reliable sources say. You are, of course, perfectly free to post to one of the many web sites that have different standards, including those which exist solely for the purpose of telling the world the TRUTH about the conspirators from the CIA and elsewhere, or even to set up your own web site, where you can decide what is acceptable and what isn't. However, Wikipedia is not the place to tell the world about your beliefs. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:15, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
