Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Keystrokes! Thanks for the contributions over on the Freemasonry article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:


 * Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
 * When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
 * Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
 * If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
 * Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, Keystrokes, and most importantly, have fun! Antonrojo 15:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

 * How dare you. If this is your idea of neutrality then I strongly suggest you turn in your adminstrator privledges.Keystrokes 16:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, I was refering to this edit, where you removed a large portion of the Freemasonry article. I mistook this large removal of text, along with the context of its replacement as simple vandalism. Also, just to clarify, I am not an adminstrator. Happy editing!

Regarding your edits to Freemasonry:

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

 * Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with EXACTLY what 3rr means. You obviously don't have the faintest understanding of it. I did not violate any 3rr rule. Period.Keystrokes 16:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

"Factual Information" on Freemasonry
So the extent of your adding factual information is to add "this is disputed by critics/others" and add a purported source with no discussion? That's not exactly NPOV either, you know. MSJapan 15:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have closely observed your behaviour on the Freemasonry related pages and have determined you are probably the single largest source of bad feelings. Your conduct is reprehensible and consists largely of manipulation of Wikipedia rules and spirit and inciting other Masons to do likewise. You routinely delete material without discussion claiming others didn't discuss it first, while do the exact oppposite when it is material you desire to be included. Your behaviour today on the External Links is true to type for you. You massivley deleted a dozen external links with no summary, discussion, or explanation, and then when I tried to re-insert them you and your followers claimed it must be discussed first! You claimed to be "uncertain" of why there were no references to forget me not flower contradictory links and when I added them you and your followers deleted them!. The sooner you and your masonic followers are permanently banned from the Freemasonry pages the better!!!!Keystrokes 16:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Freemasonry
(copied from User talk:MSJapan) I've protected this article to stop edit warring. User:Keystrokes has been delisted from AIV, as they don't seem to be making obvious vandalism, and commented on the protection on 3RR Reports. I'm going to recuse myself from determining the possible 3RR breach on this article though, and will revist the protection in a few days if antoher admin has not lifted it.
