User talk:Dabomb~enwiki

Hello,

I think you should take a look at some of the help section for some information on Wikipedia policies and guidelines, as well as tips on editing pages. Specifically, you should read about neutral point of view and citing your sources. You might also be interested in using double brackets ( and  ) to place hotlinks, signing all posts on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ) and using colons  to indent paragraphs on talk pages.

Regarding your question on Talk:National Football League:


 * Hey, its fine if you want to remove the things not directly related to the NFL. I'm just playing a little devil's advocate and showing a point of view that is supported but seldom addressed. If I created a Race and American football article, could I cite this one? Could I use things from the blacks in pro-football article? The examples in the NFL about Eric Crouch, Brock Forsey, and others should be included though? What about the back-up status of star receiver Joe Jurevicius, despite his performance?

If you create a new article, you can use background material from National Football League, put an appropriate hotlink to it in the article, or use a template to redirect people to the NFL article for more information. Wikipedia discourages citing other Wikipedia pages as sources, however. If you do create an article on race and American football, you will be expected to follow Wikipedia's policies on neutrality and citing sources. That means you must write about the issue in an even-handed way and cannot use the article to push a particular point of view. You would not be able to try to prove yourself that there is systematic anti-white discrimination in the NFL. You could only quote other people who claim there is such systematic discrimination, if in fact a reputable source says that.

Good luck, and enjoy your time on Wikipedia -- Mwalcoff 01:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

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 Dabomb. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dabomb~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 23:16, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
