Regent U edits

Tntrwtvl -- Please continue with your edits. Let's try to avoid any more reverting of other editor's changes -- they are not vandalism (nor were your additions, IMO) but good faith edits. Go ahead and complete all of your additions. When done, we will go in and re-edit for NPOV issues and adding in references. If you have web sites for your information, then please use them. If you would like to have direction on how to cite, please feel free to ask.

As a new editor, you are not aware of all the policies of WP. Here is another: It is considered bad form to blank your discussion pages. Thanks! ∴ Therefore | talk 18:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. You can either add it to my talk page or, as is commonly done, just add it here as most editors will look for a response on the page they left a comment on. (Wow, that was an oddly constructed sentence). Collectonian and I have discussed this and we agree that you should go ahead and make your additions to the page (which have been consistently positive additions), then we will go in and make NPOV changes so that it is written in a neutral tone and add references where necessary. Really, we have ALL gone through this learning curve of understanding the standards and policies of WP. I have faith that you will become a valuable editor -- something we never want to scare away! ∴ Therefore | talk 18:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk page

I've responded to your discussion about the school's reputation at Talk:Regent University#Univeristy Reputation. I and most editors won't tell you this on your talk page -- it is assumed that you are monitoring the page. But I figured this one time might be helpful for you.

You will find that I moved the discussion to the bottom, which is the standard at WP. A helpful guide for talk pages can be found at WP:TALK. Thanks! ∴ Therefore | talk 20:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Regent University rewrites

Whew, I'm done editing the page. I hope you come and take a look at it.

There are two very (very) important issues to discuss -- part of that ol' learning curve. First is the core of Wikipedia: verification. Please notice that I did the research and added in many citations to your additions. Really, the responsibility for this is on the Wikipedia editor. It may be obnoxious to do, but, in reality, most editors will reverse additions made with out proper citations. I went ahead and did the "homework" for ya this time, but I'll be looking to you to take on the mantel, as it were. :)

Secondly, and this is very critical, you are not allowed to cut-and-paste information from another site. These are violations of the VERY strict policy at wikipedia of avoiding getting the project in trouble by copying others' works. I went ahead (this time) and paraphrased your additions but I guarantee that in the future any such violations will be reversed on site. Wikipedia takes this matter very seriously.

Ah, with all that "lecturing" I sure hope that you continue to contribute to Wikipedia -- just be sure to learn how to add citations (just look at my edits to the page and I'm sure you'll quickly get the right idea) and to paraphrase.

Thanks! ∴ Therefore | talk 00:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
