User talk:JohnDWyndham

Welcome!

Hello, JohnDWyndham, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please 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: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 15:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Antony Hewish
Hello: I've reverted your change to the Anthony Hewish article for the following reasons: Please let me know on my talk page or try the Teahouse if you have any questions about our policies. Regards, Orange Suede Sofa  (talk) 18:25, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The article is about Hewish, not Bell Burnell or the philosophy of how Nobel Prizes should be awarded. Adding paragraphs of text about Bell Burnell is giving undue weight to the matter.
 * Wikipedia strives to maintain a non-neutral tone. Your edit was largely an opinion piece (including phrases like "those who claim otherwise are ignorant" and "Nobel prizes reflect (or should reflect) a substantial effort").
 * If you see inaccuracies in a Wikipedia article, you can fix the mistake directly rather than adding text like "A previous editor of this entry has stated...". Of course, any changes and corrections should be backed up by a reliable source.
