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
 * Simplified 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 one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * 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 in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm MrX. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Age of the universe, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ''The 'About' hatnote is not the place to explain theories of the age of the universe that are not representative of scientific consensus. Such theories (if properly sourced) could be added to the body of the article. Please discuss such changes on the article talk page.'' – MrX 03:40, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Christian Dad. I'm responding to the email you sent to me. The talk pages (such as this one) are the best places to communicate with other editors in this collaborative environment. It seems that you think the hatnote wording on the Age of the universe article should be changed, however, there are other editors who disagree (myself, as well as the editor who posted below this message).


 * I suggest two things: Learn how to navigate Wikipedia, and especially how to engage other editors in communication by reading some of the help tutorials, here. Secondly, to engage editors in a discussion about a specific article, go the article page and click on the 'Talk' tab at the top of the page. For the Age of the universe article, you can click here. I will watch this talk page in case you have any questions about any of this. Good luck! – MrX 01:44, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Since 2012 October 10‎ you have modified the hatnote of Age of the universe four times and been reverted every time (i.e., I am about to revert you for the fourth time). You have never tried to justify the changes on Talk:Age of the universe, or even provided an edit comment. At Wikipedia this is considered to be unsporting behavior on several counts. If you think you have a good reason for changing the hatnote that is consistent with Wikiperia policy, please explain yourself on the talk page before making any more changes.
