A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Havensdad. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 06:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:32, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
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) 00:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ecclesiastes shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Dougweller (talk) 06:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

NPOV noticeboard
Thanks for the thoughtful statement of the dispute on the NPOV noticeboard. I did a few minor edits and will reply soon. I notice, however, that the NPOV forum has a serious backlog problem, and I think it might be more useful to ask for a mediator, someone with knowledge of the subject who can make an informed and impartial set of suggestions. You might approach any of the editors who have posted on the Talk page of Ecclesiastes, since the fact of posting shows an interest. PiCo (talk) 00:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Coding
I assume you mean how to make a link that takes the reader to some other place in the Internet. There are two parts. First you put the url, which you copy from the address line on the target page. Then whatever prose you want to put yourself describing the target. The two are separated by a single space, and enclosed in single square brackets. Like this. PiCo (talk) 01:57, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
