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:
 * Welcome!
 * 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 to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with 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.

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 my talk page. 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).

Your edits
They will delete your edits. Many admins from English Wikipedia like Chip Berlet and his political beliefs and use his allegations as sources. On the other hand no criticism or negative information about him are allowed. Another article about him is here: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j011400.html. --Dezidor (talk) 17:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't even know who Chip Berlet is, and I don't much care. I have reverted your edits, for the very simple reason that they do not follow Wikipedia policy.
 * Dezidor, if you have had similar edits reverted, you must have also not been following policy. Perhaps rather than giving out bad information to new editors, you should study policies yourself. I suggest you start with WP:AGF, and add WP:RS and WP:NPOV after you feel you have familiarized yourself with that. KillerChihuahua ?!?Advice 17:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Please learn our policies
I specifically direct your attention to WP:RS WP:NPOV. Edits which do not adhere to policy will not stand. KillerChihuahua ?!?Advice 17:33, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Adding: if you do not know whether a source meets WP:RS, try asking for help on the reliable sources noticeboard. KillerChihuahua ?!?Advice 17:50, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Artfulhogster, a good rule of thumb is that any source used for an article should mention the subject of that article.  Will Beback   talk    19:07, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
