Hi, Gathol. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  06:53, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
ようこそ
  • You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.
  • Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.
  • Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.
  • When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

  Hello, I'm Elizium23. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Assassination seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

To call the Crusaders Christian is not correct. Jesus NEVER told people to kill, especially for land. The Crusades were called by the roman catholic leader and they do not follow the Christ's teachings nor His example. Gathol (talk) 05:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from using talk pages such as Talk:Pope for general discussion of the topic or other unrelated topics. They are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways, based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines; they are not for use as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you.

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Do not use Wikipedia to push fringe points of view. EvergreenFir (talk) 23:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to use talk pages for inappropriate discussion, as you did at Talk:Islamophobia, you may be blocked from editing. Doug Weller talk 10:59, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Then where do I talk about it with the article author, because he/she/they/it are wrong. Gathol (talk) 22:26, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
It? EvergreenFir (talk) 00:56, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
it. AI artificial.
Also, not to be argumentative about it but I got the following official looking notice:
"If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page"
Which I did. Gathol (talk) 01:40, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
You wrote "phobia classically means unreasonable fear, not hate or other modern liberal definitions.". If you had brought sources to back your statement, then that would have been an acceptable post. But note that Phobia says "A phobia is an anxiety disorder,". Note also that words mean what they mean, and you shouldn't take them apart to make a point. "Anti-semitism" does not mean anti anyone who speaks a Semitic language Doug Weller talk 08:49, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
