UPSET

As a member of the anonymous Wikipedia community, I am disgusted and outraged by your suggestion to block all of us from editing Wikipedia. Almost all of us are constructive, well-meaning editors who deserve this bastion of knowledge at least as much as you do. Just because you are on one side of the fence, and are a registered user, doesn't mean you can condemn all of us unregistered. How selfish of you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.105.121.73 (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

• Reply - I note that you didn't bother to log in so we could discuss this. You must not seriously believe this, because it's not a reasonable position. I have edited and corrected dozens (maybe even a hundred) vandalized articles. It's tiresome. Because it's tedious to set up an account, I think asking people to log in is a reasonable price to pay to allow them to edit articles. They don't even need a real account, just to spend some time. Time roughly proportional to the amount of time it takes to edit an article, a single time. My position is unchanged. Everyone not logged in should not be able to make edits until they log in. As far as 'disgusted and outraged' are concerned, I recommend a switch to decaf and perhaps some yoga and a life.-G (talk) 21:34, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

• I've long thought that login should be a requirement. While I suppose there are legitimate reasons for contributing anonymously, I believe a registered account can be made sufficiently anonymous if you have the will. Mcavic (talk) 07:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

G'day!

G'day there, Ggb667, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!

We've got a few pages you might find helpful, such as:

• Our "five pillars"
• The lowdown on editing
• A detailed tutorial
• Our house manual of style

It's all best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down.

If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Wikipedia:Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh? Happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 02:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

So Palin does not ring your bell and she's not your cup of tea. Fine. Let's leave her off the talk pages of articles that aren't about her. Jonathunder (talk) 14:00, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
