I guess I don't understand the rules and guidelines on here still, even after reading them

how do things work on here?


 * See my reply to the previous helpme . Is there something specific that I can expand upon?  Acroterion   (talk)   16:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:NUH should provide some pointers to get you started. -- wintonian  talk  17:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

How do I edit without falsifying information or completely deleting someone else's work if I don't agree with it?


 * Probably the best approach is to discuss your concerns with them first: you can see who added a given piece of content by going through the article history (which can take a while). You should also see if the item has a reference, and of course your changes or additions should also be based on a reliable source, which you will need to reference. If you can't determine who added the material, you should raise your concerns on the article's talkpage, preferably with your references to support your argument.

Okay, thank you, I asked this because I am currently trying to support a Youtube user's video for use in a story I'm currently in the process of writing and the article pertaining to the video and my story seems to be more vague than the Youtube video suggests


 * Has the video been mentioned, reviewed, criticized, etc. by other media? Secondary sourcing (which is required anyway) can help firm up the content and support notability.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:41, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure, but I can provide a link to the video and the Wikipedia article related to it, I know other users have reviewed, mentioned, and criticized on Youtube and other social networking sites such as Facebook, I'm not sure about secondary sourcing, this would have to be taken up with the Youtube user who made the video


 * Sure, if you can link to the subjects I might be able to help. In general, reliable sourcing will require coverage in media with editorial oversight, such as newspapers, magazines and major news-oriented websites, rather than user-generated content like Facebook, Youtube or Wikipedia. You'll need to steer clear of original research too: the edits should reflect what the sources state, and we as encyclopedia editors shouldn't allow our personal opinions to color that.  Acroterion   (talk)   18:53, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I can't give the links at this moment because I am on a computer that has blocked Youtube, however, I can give you this person's username


 * No hurry, add the link when you get a chance. Also, please remember to put four tildes at the ends of your posts  to sign them so the bot doesn't get tired.   Acroterion   (talk)   19:14, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophet_Muhammed Nevermind, I have confirmed that this video on this subject has provided opinionated statements in it as mentioned above because I looked into the section of it I was referring to on another source site and found no mentioning in the article of what the video stated, thank you. ~EgyptKEW9~


 * You're welcome; let me know if there's something else I can do.  Acroterion   (talk)   14:59, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I sure will, thanks again 15:03, 6 December 2012 (UTC)EgyptKEW915:03, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Ancient Egypt, you may be blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 22:29, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

It was only that one section about tomb curses because I knew it was false information. ~EgyptKEW9~
 * It's a talk page, not an article: except in cases of clear disruption, you should avoid editing other people's comments on talk pages.  Acroterion   (talk)   14:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:27, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I did sign that comment, thank you ~EgyptKEW9~
 * You should really sign your comments with four tildes, as specified (either by typing it or clicking the "signature" button above the edit window) - Wikipedia automatically expands that into a full, timestamped signature that links back to your user page and user talk page. --McGeddon (talk) 18:34, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay....how's that?--~EgyptKEW9~ 18:38, 12 December 2012 (UTC)EgyptKEW9--~EgyptKEW9~ 18:38, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Have you put something strange in the "Signature" field at Special:Preferences (it should, by default, just be your username), or are you typing your name and other details as well as the basic four tildes (" ~ ") when you sign a comment? Whatever you're doing, it's producing mangled signatures which poor old SineBot is mistaking for an unsigned comment. --McGeddon (talk) 22:41, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I am putting the four of those things when I sign, so I don't know what's wearing the bot out, I apologize though. EgyptKEW9 14:09, 20 December 2012 (UTC)EgyptKEW9EgyptKEW9 14:09, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Try just clicking the Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png button above the edit window, instead of typing the tildes, maybe? --McGeddon (talk) 14:16, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
