Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, American Language Center. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Thank you. In addition, information that you gain first hand is, somewhat counter-intuitively, NOT permitted. It's considered original research, and is against policy. Please see the link below, or contact me if you have any questions. Cheers. Xymmax (talk) 00:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

American Language Center edits

Hi there. I see that you re-added your edit, and I have reverted it again. I am not trying to suppress your information, but it really needs to come from appropriate secondary sources, and not your own first-hand information. As I mentioned before, one of Wikipedia's rules is that there should not be original research in articles. In addition, articles need to keep a neutral point of view - something I admit the article probably needs some help on at the momment. Finally, please be aware that editors can make no more than 3 reversions to an article in a 24 hour period (unless correcting vandalism) - see WP:3RR. This rule is strictly enforced, and can lead to a block when violated. Take care, Xymmax (talk) 13:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Missvain. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 16:51, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Stop posting at the top of pages

Post at the bottom. I've moved your comments to the bottom three times now, and you're repeating yourself. Post at the bottom of the page, and stop accusing other editors of bad faith. Then we can start to consider your request. Acroterion (talk) 17:20, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Answer: Sorry about that... I thought it was deleted... Okay. Cool. Thanks. Cheers))) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Interceptor369 (talk • contribs)

And while we're discussing talkpage etiquette, please don't insert your comments into those of others. It makes it very hard to follow and effectively alters somebody else's comments. And please recognize that whether you intended or not, calling other good-faith editors "Russia-hating trolls" is a personal attack, whether you think so or not. Please confine your requests top substantive matters concerning content, rather than your perception of their motivations. Acroterion (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Again, don't post in other peoples' comments - it's confusing and disruptive. I've removed your comments on Missvain's talkpage, please compose a separate response, place it at the bottom, and sign it with four tildes. Acroterion (talk) 18:08, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

And regarding the "we", are you the subject of the article? If so, please read WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Writing about yourself is an inherent conflict of interest and is strongly discouraged. Acroterion (talk) 18:10, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
