Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HarveyCarter. Thank you.

I’m done with WP, but as one of the big contributors to the article, I do hope your scorched earth attempts to delist it as a FA fail. The stuff you want to add is totally inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 19:48, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Documenting genocide is inappropriate for an encyclopedia?--Quality posts here (talk) 19:52, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Dealing with people of your sort with a historical revisionist agenda who don’t understand WP’s policies of NPOV and NOR is why I gave up WP a long time ago. You’re not the first, you won’t be the last, but if you really want to get the article’s FA status removed, adding your own interpretation to it is a great way to go about it.

The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick, the FAR is now entering its final phase, FARC, and it will surely soon be delisted. The vast majority uninvolved participants (some of them experienced FA writers) have agreed with my points and added their own. I simply paraphrased academics and the Australian Museum in my argument, I can hardly be accused of original research.--Quality posts here (talk) 23:56, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Mission accomplished then, congratulations. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 18:02, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from personalizing comments like this one at WP:FAR, and focus on content. The FAR page is watched and followed by quite a few FA regulars, it is transcluded to WP:FAC, and there is a template that editors follow to weigh in on FARs on topics they are familiar with. There is no reason to single out editors for commenting on a FAR, which is standard; a separate issue is that none of the other FARs have engaged anyone willing to work on them. If the personalization on this particular FAR continues, I'll be opening an ANI. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:23, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Apologies SandyGeorgia, I worded this comment badly and have edited it. WCM argued the FAR wasn't very valuable because few independent reviewers had gotten involved, but I tried to point out the opposite was the case. I was not trying to criticize uninvolved reviewers, who are the most important reviewers, especially when there are talk page content disputes.--Quality posts here (talk) 03:45, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
