Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. I removed your edit to the Carl DeMaio talk page because it was a personal attack on another user.

I hope that you will decide to contribute to Wikipedia in a meaningful way; if so, you might want to check out The Five Pillars of Wikipedia and The Wikipedia Manual of Style to help you get started. However, uncivil behavior is not allowed on Wikipedia, and repeated personal attacks could result in disciplinary action or the termination of your account. Thanks!

Thank you Athena cunicularia for the tips. I plan on using Wikipedia quite regularly from now on. I hope you will also consider my posts from your page which seem obviously biased and must be corrected. Hopefully people will be able to read them if you don't delete it. Thanks!

You're not the first editor to get off to a bad start. As long as you try to keep your edits constructive, with citations from third party reliable sources, you'll be fine. However, anything without a source (as well as personal attacks) may be removed by any editor. Athene cunicularia (talk) 06:04, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you again for the meaningful tips, I will work on the corrections. If you know of possible guidelines I can look into on possible biased editing and possible collaboration with self identified biased reporters please direct me to it, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Try WP:Good Faith and WP:NPOV. When you're ready to get started, you could also try WP:Tutorial, WP:How to Edit a Page, and WP:Article development. Athene cunicularia (talk) 06:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. 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. You could also click on the signature button 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Maass bias?

This is Dave Maass from CityBeat. I just saw your remark, "Citybeat reporter Dave Maass who has already admitted that he has a bias towards Carl Demaio."Where exactly are you getting this? I personally have much respect for DeMaio, his convictions and intelligence and while our paper has disagreed with him on individual issues, we have also agreed with him on many as well. This does not mean that I won't call him out for inaccuracy.

I pointed out on the edit page that because my story was added as a section of DeMaio's page I did not feel it was appropriate for me to edit the page. This is consistent with Wikipedia guidelines: When you are the subject of a wikipedia entry, you should suggest edits on the discussion page rather than simply insert the language into the entry.

If you feel it necessary to personally attack me on wikipedia, I'd appreciate it if you did it transparently and at least spent a few minutes getting in contact: davem@sdcitybeat.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maassive (talk • contribs) 16:55, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Mr. Maass, You claimed that you have a conflict of interest since you wrote the story on Demaio's page so you can no longer edit the page, yet you gave your recommendations on what should be edited. If you don't understand the irony and inconsistency then I don't know how to help you. Eno hth (talk) 05:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring on Carl DeMaio

Hello again. Please be aware that Wikipedia has a policy on edit warring. It would be a good idea to check out WP:3RR before you continue to revert edits on Carl DeMaio's page. Thank you. Athene cunicularia (talk) 16:02, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

I was going to say the same thing. "Edit warring" is where you keep reverting someone else's work without explanation or discussion. If there is a disagreement about how to word something, it should be worked out on the talk page until consensus is reached. If you do the same reversion three times in a row, you can be automatically suspended from posting - so the bottom line is, don't edit-war.

Also, when you make an edit, be sure to put something in the "edit summary" box at the bottom of the page. That explains what your edit is, or why you are doing it. It makes it a lot easier for people to follow the history. --MelanieN (talk) 16:22, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
