User talk:Book-worm

Road to Reality
Hi. I'm not sure if youre new here, but I would like to remind you of the fundamental Wikipedia policy of verifiability. You can read it here. It is considered biased to publish points of view (eg. comments on e-commerce sites) without them being notable, and without them being verified. Other good policies to read up on are WP:N and WP:NPOV. As it stands, saying that some people wrote on an e-commerce site that it was too complex just doesnt cut the grade for an encyclopedia.

I did not delete it...
Your question was written at the top of my talk page. I moved it to the bottom User_talk:Syrthiss so it was in proper chronological order, and replied that I was busy at work so I couldn't reply right then so I would reply when I got a chance...

However, I'll reply here.

First off, protection is not a means to get the page locked in "your version". We will only protect an article in cases of rampant vandalism, editors reverting changes blindly, or some other drastic event. To you it may look like you are being reverted blindly, but your edits are being read...and the other editors are deciding that based on the policies quoted by Remy B above that they don't work. The bit about "someone wrote on an e-commerce site that it was too complex" is showing a point-of-view - who said it, what site, is it a reliable source or a blog?

Basically, the best idea is if you add something and someone takes it immediately back out you should either ask them on their talk page what was wrong with it (civilly, btw ;) ) or on the discussion page for the article. Usually there is a reason.  Putting your text back in (reverting) multiple times is a bad thing here, and can lead to you being blocked for short periods.

Sooo, I'm willing to help you with explaining in more detail if you would like. BTW - I'm a guy. ;) Syrthiss 12:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
