Welcome!
Hello, Cocosolothomas, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Answers in Genesis does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below 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 Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! HiLo48 (talk) 00:12, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I don't encourage using wikipedia for any serious research other than cross-referencing known facts and/or dates, primarily because it is not very objective. I just now looked up some info on "Answers In Genesis" and found several deceptive descriptions regarding their beliefs, goals, and statements. For example, I have visited their popular Ark Encounter attraction and by no means is it an "amusement park"! I tried to edit and add clarifications based on their published works but some editor(s) undid all my edits. Hey, please get the facts straight because there are numerous misrepresentations and twists of the truth in this article. At least have a header caveat stating there are numerous opinions that do not reflect reality about this organization. Even a cursory look at their website reveals they are not anti-evolution in the sense that "evolution" is defined by wikipedia. Even this definition of "evolution" is misleading because it does not mention "abiogenesis" which is the foundation of the evolution theory.


 * , I have that page watched but don't really edit it often. Speaking as someone familiar with the editing process though, I have to say that it is not uncommon for controversial edits to contentious pages to be immediately undone. In that case, the rule is that you should not restore your edit, but make your case on the talk page of the article Talk:Answers in Genesis‎‎, and other editors (including those that don't frequently edit, like myself) will comment. We do not, cannot, and would not make exceptions because your edit is right, because even if it is, repeated back-and-forth editing makes things difficult for both other uninvolved editors and our readers. Dispute resolution covers our dispute resolution process, including further steps. Best of luck. Alpha3031 (t • c) 02:34, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
