Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't vandalize
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
           
    Perform maintenance tasks
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Sincerely, — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 21:50, 16 March 2014 (UTC)   (Leave me a message)Reply

Clark Aldrich

edit

The "harassment campaign", wherever it is going on, is focused on changing his last name in the article, for whatever reason. Is there any indication that there is actual, personal harassment of him about this public information from Bloomberg Businessweek? SilverserenC 17:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The campaign is coming out of the harassment site GetOffMyInternets.net. And yes. FYI, here is a document citing Clark Aldrich as a ninth great-grandson of both John Winthrop, first Governor of The Massachusetts Bay Colony, and Thomas Dudley, second Governor of The Massachusetts Bay Colony. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27077549/Clark%20Aldrich.pdf

That doesn't exactly answer my question on how there is personal harassment of him going on, especially since where he lives is public information that has been posted in a Businessweek article. SilverserenC 18:51, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Attempts are ongoing with Businessweek to have that information removed. It is part of a multi-part campaign stop the harassment.

Are you Clark Aldrich? If not, what relation do you have with him that you got this information? SilverserenC 21:43, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Comments

edit

You need to move your comments from the top of Talk:Clark Aldrich to the section at the bottom of the page. I already did that for you once but you have added some more comments at the top. They need to go at the bottom of the page. Sean.hoyland - talk 17:54, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
