User talk:Master Armand

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
 * 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 sock puppetry.
 * 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! Dougweller (talk) 15:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Dendera light
I've reverted this to a much earlier version as some text and sources got lost along the way. Your version included material from you own website - two problems about that. One is that it's your website, so you have a conflict of interest and shouldn't have added it. The second is that as a personal website it fails our criteria for sources, see WP:RS. Sentences such as "At this time, no artifacts have been discovered, and so the controversy continues…" are not encyclopedic - have you ever read anything like that in an encyclopedia? You added material that had no sources - presumably your own ideas. We call that 'original research', see WP:NOR. You would need sources meeting our criteria that discuss the Dendera light to add any of that. And finally, anything like "give mute testimony to an earlier epoch of high technology that must have once existed on earth." is against our original research and WP:NPOV policy. I think like many new editors, including me at one time, you came here with little understanding of how Wikipedia works. That's not a big problem - unless of course you don't like the way we work in which case you might be happier elsewhere. Dougweller (talk) 16:02, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Dendera light shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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. ''Again, this is simply the way we work - 3RR is on the verge of edit warring. You simply ignored me and kept restoring your version even though another editor agreed with me. You don't sound as though you would be happy here. '' Dougweller (talk) 17:57, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
