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) 02:22, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

You should request a new user name
Hi! I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

I like everything I've seen of your contributions on Talk:Bart D. Ehrman, but when I first saw your username in the page history I thought you might be on the "other side". WP:NOTHERE pretty handily sums up how most long-term contributors would look at you with a username like "Press4truth"; it makes you look like someone who is here to push a specific agenda, and most Wikipedia accounts with "truth" in the name usually have a certain idea of what "truth" is than most good editors would. Changing it soon would be a good idea.

I would also recommend making more edits to other topic areas, as (should the current dispute go to any of the noticeboards, which I suspect it will) you might quickly find yourself being accused of being a WP:SPA.

Cheers!

 * Thanks. I know it's a terrible name. Probably impatient at the time trying to find a unused username! I will change it!


 * Hey. I agree with everything Hijiri said above (including about appreciating your stance at the article talk page), and I'm please to see you took his advice about changing your username. I'm just posting to support what Hijiri said in his last paragraph. While it's okay to be a single-purpose account, it's also something that many other editors will use against you in any arguments. One way to avoid this is to edit a number of articles related to your primary interest. So you might want to look into participating at textual criticism, New testament, Historicity of Jesus, History of Christianity and other such articles. Doing so shifts the impression other editors get from "SPA" to "Editor with an interest in this field of study". Also, if there are any television shows or movies you really enjoy, that is a great way to diversify your editing. I usually edit articles which touch upon fringe subjects and pseudoscience, but I also have quite a few edits at a few video game and book articles, and I used to participate mostly at the Graphics lab, taking requests for image editing (I don't anymore). Anyways, I wish you some happy editing! MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  14:00, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comments. I understand this can be a concern. Hopefully, in the meantime--as I find more articles I feel comfortable editing--my comments on the Bart Ehrman page will be taken based on their own merit, not on what I have not done on other articles.

 * So far, that is exactly the case. :) MjolnirPants   Tell me all about it.  13:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
