User talk:Basilissa~enwiki

Welcome
As far as Wikipedia not publishing "original thought", this would be a fallacy if taken to the extreme. At some point or other, someone had an original thought and published it, therefore, when Wikipedia cites this publication, they are in essence re-publishing "original thoughts." --166.203.9.158 (talk) 18:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * ... If we're RE-publishing it, it's not original. That's kinda the point of original, it hasn't been done before.  Ian.thomson (talk) 22:14, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Why I reverted your edits to Book of Revelation

 * Always cite a source for any new information, using, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * We do not publish original thought. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:38, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Book of Revelation, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Book of Revelation do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. A link to a bookstore is not a reliable source. Self-published sources are almost never considered reliable sources. I have provided the reliable source guidelines and a summary of them already. Try reading those guidelines.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Basilissa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Basilissa~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:24, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
