Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Doug Weller talk 13:57, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

June 2015
Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to History of Greenland. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Theroadislong Thanks for the info. Though I believe in consistency across wikipedia pages. A rule that says whoever shows up first gets to choose, is not consistent. Also, our calendar evolves around Christ's birth. Trying to ignore this fact seems Christianphobic. The years aren't going to change, why lie and deceive and say it's not because of Christ's birth? Also B.C. and A.D. are the standard in the world, not the Christianphobic BCE.

Not a good idea to ignore the above.
I see you you have ignored the message above. Editors who continually edit in violation of WP:ERA are likely to be blocked, particularly if it appears that they are here to push a point and not to improve the encyclopedia. Doug Weller talk 13:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Doug Weller I didn't ignore it. I'm busy with other things in life. Don't apply your timetable to me.


 * That was a reference to an edit of yours just before my post, but after the "message above". Nothing to do with your timetable, everything to do with your edit after the message. Doug Weller  talk 13:29, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

White pride and Original Research
Your edits there were a violation of one of our fundamental polices, no original research. Pleaase also read WP:VERIFY - anything that might be disputed must be verifiable through reliable sources, which are discussed both at that page and at WP:RS. Doug Weller talk 13:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Doug Weller Thanks for the rule statement. Though other pages about racial pride don't cite all their info, and many pages on wikipedia lack citation. And in other instances people simply mark that more citation is needed. Also the majority of white pride intro now lacks citation...


 * The introduction, which we call the WP:Lead or 'lede', doesn't need citations for information that is sourced in the body of the article, so you will often find the lead has few to no citations while the body of the article, like this one, is heavily cited. If other pages aren't up to snuff, that doesn't affect this page. Doug Weller  talk 13:26, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
