Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Fascism, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.
If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Airplaneman ✈ 06:55, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

editHello, I'm LuK3. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Fascism seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. In addition, it seems like your edits are essay-like. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Please read about what Wikipedia is not. Thanks. -- LuK3 (Talk) 14:42, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. -- LuK3 (Talk) 14:46, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
Your recent edits
editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:21, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Fascism
editWhy are you telling me this?? --TIAYN (talk) 15:17, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
I never changed anything about Fascism being right-wing. That was another user. --VasOling (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Technopat. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Fascism without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Greetings and... reply
editGreetings Mryan1451. Thank you for your note. As I stated in my edit summary when reverting your edit, the place to reach consensus is at the article talk page. I see now that you have been in contact with other users at their respective talk pages, but whatever you may have discussed with them there needs to be brought to the actual article talk page, where other interested users can participate. This is especially important if what you propose is removing existing references. Rather than removing references, I would suggest enriching the article by adding references from other reliable sources that may offer different views. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 13:44, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Talk Page etiquette
editHi, thanks for the note on my talk page. Rather than try to discuss content issues in great, great detail on individual talk pages, it is best to discuss them on the article talk page. That allows everyone to see ideas and respond together in one place. I would bring up your proposed changes there to try to achieve consensus. A quick look at the archives show that in this particular case this issue (right-wing) has been discussed at the talk page since at least 2009. I would suggest look through the archives to get a sense of the discussion to date. Capitalismojo (talk) 16:19, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- As noted, although you finally got round to discussing this in the right place, ie the Fascism talk page, you also posted far too much text there. It's in your own interest, as well as everyone else's, to be concise and focused. You've also now, within a day of posting there, suddenly gone both to the dispute resolution board and the third opinion page. Quite apart from this spreading the issue to even more pages, you should have noted that the former in particular says it is not "a substitute for talk pages. Editors are expected to have had extensive discussion on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) to work out the issues before coming to DRN" while the latter says, "If more than two editors are involved, 3O is not appropriate". If you're not familiar with how this place works, fine; but just slow down a little please. N-HH talk/edits 10:41, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Dispute Resolution process
editHi, quick note. DRN is for resolving serious dispute of content. DRN requires that editors make a substantive and sustained effort on the article talk page before jumping to DRN. That hasn't yet occured. Your jumping this past the talk page to DRN was very premature. I'd especially like if you could review the extensive discussion of this issue at the article talk archives. There may be a reason that the lead has been stable since late 2009. Capitalismojo (talk) 12:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
