User talk:Ao9

Welcome
Hello, Ao9, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 06:31, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Great Pyramid of Giza
I apologise for not adding a welcome notice to your talk page, I try to do this when I run across new users. For clearly controversial and uncited information that is no need to add a fact tag or discuss it, the onus is on the editor adding the text. Before replacing it you really should read WP:RS and WP:OR. As you've made it clear in your email that you know about fact tags, and my edit summary in removing it explained that it was uncited and apparently original research, the next thing to do would have been to discuss it on the talk page. Since I see you've replaced it with no cite, why did you ask me in your email why I didn't add a fact tag? Dougweller (talk) 06:44, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Great Pyramid of Giza. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Charles (talk) 14:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Re your edits, please see wp:Fringe for our policy on fringe theories. Also we have a rule wp:3RR against repeatedly reverting the same information.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  14:59, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Great Pyramid of Giza. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. ''You've already been told about 3RR and have exceeded it. You'll be blocked next time you do this.''

 * Please stop emailing me. Discuss it on the talk page, but it is original research and thus doesn't belong in Wikipedia. If you think it isn't original research, take it to WP:ORN. Dougweller (talk) 16:10, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * PLEASE discuss on the articles talk page I've reported your edit warring or 3rr violations here -- NotedGrant  Talk  17:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
