Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Creationism, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hello KentHovind. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Creationism, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. N o f o rmation Talk  02:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

If you are the real Hovind I suggest you read over the following policies to gain an understanding of how wikipedia treats fringe and pseudoscience before you begin editing: WP:FRINGE, WP:RS, WP:NPOV. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have regarding policy. You can ask here or leave a message on my talk page. N o f o rmation Talk  02:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. TerriersFan (talk) 02:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Note this editor's comment on a user's talk page: "I'm just fucking with people. If you check my IP address, it's in Halifax Canada, and not where Hovind is safely in prison." Dougweller (talk) 06:42, 20 December 2011 (UTC)


 * You've overstepped, "Kent". Wikipedia isn't meant to be used for pranks. If in the future, you wish to stop making disruptive edits and instead contribute constructively, you can copy the text in the block box above and state so. Thank you.
