You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. Jeppiz (talk) 23:41, 17 October 2023 (UTC)


 * How am I engaging in disruption? Both of my talk page comments have been directly related to the content of the page and the rhetoric being presented. What is the point of a collaborative encyclopedia where you get all mention of the conflicts present in an article reverted? 208.180.58.74 (talk) 23:42, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Welcome to Wikipedia. Please see WP:NOTFORUM. We do not generally debate politics or current events in either articles or talk pages. In this situation obviously emotions are running high on all sides and it's especially important to try and remain dispassionate in our reporting. We confine ourselves to what is being reported in reliable secondary sources. I will append some links to help you understand how we operate here. Best regards... -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:06, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not feel as if i was debating politics, I was just being pragmatic about the nature of the article. That being said, if it's not my place, maybe I will sit it out and read more of the policies. 208.180.58.74 (talk) 00:18, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Well this comment is pretty clearly not neutral and not only takes sides but seems to advocate that Wikipedia do so also. I do understand heat of the moment comments. You'd have to have the heart of a stone not to be moved by the events of the last ten days. But again, this is when we need to be as objective as possible and confine ourselves to what is being reported in reliable sources. A huge part of the world looks to us for comprehensive and unbiased information on often highly contentious topics. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:25, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Welcome to Wikipedia! Hello IP user. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Ad Orientem, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page and someone will try to help. To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. If you register an account, you can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you could put a link to it on your user page.

Please remember to: The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
 * Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes  at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this IP's talk page, and a timestamp.
 * Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
