Welcome
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
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * 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 possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * 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 your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.

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. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Thanks for the welcome. I've been making small changes since 2006, what drew your attention yesterday? Tom (talk) 14:36, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

wikipedia is not a source.
The fact that we have an article named something like cyclist does not define the term. Wikipedia is not a source.

See The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition:

cyclist [ˈsaɪklɪst] US, cycler n; a person who rides or travels by bicycle, motorcycle, etc.
 * feel free to check the fifty plus referenced sources handily listed on the cycling article, including many which do specifically define the term. they seem to contradict the reference you have provided, with the consensus being that 'cyclist' refers to the rider of a bicycle or other human powered vehicle, with the riders of motorcycles referred to by other terms.  if you disagree with this, it seems that either the cycling or motorcycling article would be a more appropriate venue to take up the case.

And next time try adding the material you think is better, rather than removing material that was perfectly appropriate.

 * No, the listed term 'cyclist' was not appropriate. None of the persons referenced in the Alexian Lien beating article were riding bicycles.  With that in mind, removing incorrect information from Wikipedia is just as important as adding new content.  Tom (talk) 15:55, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
