User talk:Eric Dickens

Welcome!

Hello, Eric Dickens, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Jaan Kross
Your work on the Jaan Kross article is very commendable. You seem to off on a strong start toward making it great encyclopedia entry.

I removed a section of what appeared to be commentary about the some of the article's sources, from the article itself, and moved it to the talk page. I recommend that as you correct the information in the article, you summarize the reason for doing so in the edit summary box, and then use the talk page to discuss your reason in more detail, especially if it is likely to be contentious. These links may be helpful:
 * WP:TONE
 * WP:TALK

I hope this is somewhat helpful. My best, MrX 12:27, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
