Welcome
Welcome to visitors. '''If you add anything here, please be substantitive and not obvious. I AM NOT A NEW USER''', if I have left something in a less than ideal state of polish it's not because I'm unable to look up the markup myself given enough time, it's because I'm busy and we're all here to make incremental improvements, so we do what we can in the time we have available. If you can improve on an edit I've made, just go for it.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Survey Invite
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=2oczE7SODTUnF5j_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_2c1bnU1Wx0Dl6eh&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 18:13, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

[x] Done. Basically replied that I'm an "independent" and have not experienced any political editing conflicts. (My edits are usually simple citations, cross references, etc.) DKEdwards (talk) 19:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Please read before you post. As stated in the first sentence of my talk page, I am not a new user.  (What triggers all these rude, passive-aggressive "welcome new user" posts?  It seems to be a smart-alek way to imply that someone is ignorant just because they are critical of processes that are lazy and unnecessarily destructive (mindless enforcement of destructive policies), rather than actually *thinking* about the criticism and considering less destructive and less lazy alternatives.)
