Atheism

edit

Hi. I noticed you've asked a couple of editors why they are atheists. Can I advise this probably isn't a good idea. While people are, within reason, free to state whatever opinions and views they like on their talk page, we are fundamentally here to write an encyclopedia, and in my view, those opinions are there primarily so you are aware of any potential bias by these editors. If you want to learn more about atheism, the best place to start is Wikipedia's article on Atheism, and related people such as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins.

Thank you. I consider both atheism and religions are fake. I am looking for editing adopters on Wikipedia. Hornbeel3 (talk) 03:51, 26 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Lichess

edit

If you want to continue the discussion we were having at Talk:Lichess, you can either leave a message on my talk page or reply here with a ping (the code {{Ping|Bilorv}}) to notify me. I'll respond to your most recent question: ok, Do you have tools to verify the own words of a written article?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "written article". If you mean "a reference (like a news article)", no, it is not our job to verify this independently. If you mean "a Wikipedia article" then yes, every reader should be able to check the references to verify the information. — Bilorv (talk) 10:06, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Just a word of advice related to Bilorv's comment, I see that English is not your first language. If you weren't aware, Wikipedia has a similar encyclopedia written in Tamil: https://ta.wikipedia.org, which is in need of editors. A lot of the messages you have posted here so far have been quite hard to understand - this is understandable given English is not your first language, but your effort may be better spent trying instead to improve the Tamil Wikipedia.

Lichess

edit

Please stop adding lichess to the "See also" section of every article you encounter that is about chess. You are misusing the "See also" sections. Entries in "See also" is supposed to be closely linked to the subject. For example, nobody who goes to the Computer Chess article is going to want to see "lichess" in the "See also" section... they're going to want to see links which are closely linked to the subject of computers in chess, not just "chess".

Adoption offer

edit

Hi, I see you are seeking adoption, would you be interested in me helping you learn the ways of Wikipedia. Please reply if you would like to accept this offer. Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 12:19, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Zippy I have been editing on Wikipedia for long... To be true I find the design hard to play on... Could you please help me on copy editing... Thanks Hornbeel3 (talk) 12:52, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sure, I assume this means you accept my adoption offer. I’m going to fly tomorrow for a day or so but I would recommend that you join the GOCE and they have a few tutorials - when I get back from my flight, I will have a bit of advice written that you can read which should help you copy edit.
