An extended welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 18:15, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

No reason was given for my block beyond "Clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia." What does that mean? No edit showing some behavior I could correct, no nothing, just BLOCK with some inflammatory statement. I added a couple respectful devil's advocate comments to talk pages and this is the response? Any dissenting view is met with this overwhelming force? You can leave the block in place. It is a badge of shame for you all and for this place. I wear it with pride for the sole sin of contributing diverse opinion to your echo chamber of hate. Diversity is a crime here apparently and my desire to add to your anger and bias is zilch. Maybe in time you can all evolve to some better version and abandon your hatred of "others".
