Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, such as the one you made on Dead by Daylight. I greatly appreciate your efforts to fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but I highly recommend that you  [ create an account] . Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (166.216.158.65) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, or ask your question and then place  before the question on this page. Again, welcome! jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) 03:04, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Chair Yoga, you may be blocked from editing. "Chair Yoga" is NOT the same as informally using a chair to support the occasional yoga pose, as is widespread in e.g. Iyengar Yoga; and adding uncited material to the lead section is Original Research as well as Disruptive. Any editor who saw your extended non-encyclopedic rant in the actual text of the article would at once remove it, it's blatantly against policy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:13, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia's ways
Hi, perhaps it might be helpful to share with you some idea of how Wikipedia works.

I noticed your edit comment


 * "...As long as people were ill, injured or disabled, they made yoga accessible by adapting it for their needs in a chair or wheelchair, even if not formally called 'chair yoga.'"

As it stands, that is very likely true; but with two caveats, for Wikipedia's purposes both critically important:

1) People (readers, editors) cannot tell if is true because it is not supported by any evidence, in the form of citations to verifiable sources such as textbooks, national newspapers, or academic journal articles, reliable sources, which people can consult.

2) Practising something resembling yoga informally in a chair might or might not be similar to "Chair Yoga", but it is definitely not the actual practice of that name, as you agree with your "not formally called". That Chair Yoga may have been part of a long tradition is very possible; that similar things were informally practised, but not published; that yoga teachers even may have written about it under other names, it's possible though none of us have yet seen any such writings; but even assuming all of that, it's still not the same thing as "Chair Yoga", which alone is the subject of the article.

So, writing about those other things is off-limits. What limits?


 * Writing anything in an article that is a personal opinion is considered point-of-view.


 * Writing anything in an article that is argued from first principles is considered original research; it's forbidden.


 * Everything in an article must be cited to reliable sources. Anything else is at best uncited, and tagged as such; at worst, it's original research, and may be deleted immediately by anyone without notice.

One more thing (and I'm conscious this is quite long enough already): Wikipedians habitually discuss issues with articles on talk pages, whether a User talk page like this one, or an Article talk page like Talk:Chair Yoga.

I hope that this description of Wikipedia's approach may help you to understand the situation with this article. If you want to discuss the matter, you can reply here, or on the article's talk page at Talk:Chair Yoga. You must not put unencyclopedic personal opinions into the actual article, however: that is forbidden.

All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
