Editing on Wikipedia
When we edit on wikipedia, we need to be able to prove what we take out or add. So be prepared to explain with rational documentation your edits. I really recommend looking at and studying the links above to learn more about editing here. Welcome!! Red Rose 13 (talk) 23:21, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

I can quite simply explain every edit I've made. Each has made the article more factual, neutral, or streamlined through the removal of redundancy. Feel free to point out any specific one and I will be happy to explain it to you or anyone else.

By the way, your first comment clearly implies that I am not able to do that. Aren't you supposed to assume good faith? Dhworld (talk) 23:33, 10 December 2015 (UTC)


 * please go to the Kriyananda talk page for the discussion re: that page. Thanks Red Rose 13 (talk) 23:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Use of article talkpages
Please read wp:TPG. Such talkpages are for discussion of edits to articles, not of editor behaviour. LeadSongDog come howl!  17:35, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Help me!
I was informed by an editor that I am not really allowed to edit any pages. That no one can edit pages without first getting approval for it in the talk section although the editor who told me this was not clear about who gives approval for such things. Is there some sort of committee one applies to if one wants to make any edits? If so, what is the proper policy or procedure for making a simple edit to a page to remove something like a redundant word that will not lead to it being automatically reverted?

Please help me with...

 * See WP:BRD: You are allowed to edit pages, but if other editors disagree with you or revert your changes, a consensus should be reached on the article's talk page. If you have reason to believe that an edit will be controversial, it may be a good idea to pre-emptively leave an explanation on the talk page instead of waiting for others to challenge it. Edit warring is considered highly disruptive and should be avoided; it can indeed be grounds for a block. If you cannot reach a consensus through discussion with the other editors, there's dispute resolution help available. Huon (talk) 19:20, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. That is quite different from what the other editor told me. It's also good to know that being reverted automatically on 100% of new edits is not encouraged. I was led to believe otherwise. Dhworld (talk) 19:24, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

ANI
An incident has been raised at WP:ANI in which you may be involved. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:15, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I moved this to the third opinion request here - [] Kudpung said that ANI was not the place to take this. Red Rose 13 (talk) 03:38, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 14:54, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
