Hello there. I see that you are new. I just wanted to make you aware of our no personal attacks policy. Most of the posts that you have performed since you started have been personal attacks. I would suggest that you debate the issues, not the people. If you continue down this path, you will be blocked. We don't have alot of tolerance for users who assume bad faith and attack from the get go. Thanks. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 13:29, 18 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I'd like to second that, edits such as this are unacceptable. Please review the policy. Best wishes, Ëvilphoenix Burn! 18:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia principles

edit

Please review the above links before continuing to edit -- especially "The five pillars of Wikipedia" -- as you seem to have some fundamental misunderstanding of how things work here. I draw particular attention to this core principle from that page:

  1. Wikipedia uses the "neutral point-of-view", which means we strive for articles that advocate no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view; presenting each point of view accurately; providing context for any given point of view, so that readers understand whose view the point represents; and presenting no one point of view as "the truth" or "the best view." It means citing verifiable, authoritative sources whenever possible, especially on controversial topics...

Ignoring these core, non-negotiable principles will get you nowhere, fast: your edits will be reverted immediately and you will be opposed by legions of editors: Christian, Orthodox, Buddhist, conservative, liberal, anti-abortion, vegetarian, carnivorious, left-handed, bald, etc.; you get 10 different editors here and they'll have 12 different opinions, people who couldn't even agree on what to have for lunch but who strive the basic principles of NPOV for fairness' sake. Your call. --Calton | Talk 02:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
