Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Pseudo-secularism and your source

My revert has nothing to do with our NPOV policy. I do not see how the source backs what you wrote. I've removed it again and you should use the article talk page, not this page, to discuss how it does. I may be wrong, I've been wrong before, but please give me the courtesy of believing that I have acted in good faith in reverting it and quote the source and say how it backs your text, which it needs to do so directly without needing interpretation. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 11:14, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Simply do not edit war even if you think you are write. Leave the page on status quo. Otherwise go to talk page to get consensus. It is per Wikipedia guidelines.

No, there is nothing in our guidelines that says we can't remove material not backed by the source. Or that you should remove a clarification tag (which seemed justified) with no justifioation. Please used 4 tildes to sign your edits, eg ~~~~. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:17, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

O you are harassing a new editor???

I've posted to the talk page

With a copy of the source. Please reply and confirm that you read the source before reading the clarification tag. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:25, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

April 2017

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Pseudo-secularism. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Vanamonde (talk) 13:15, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
