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) 16:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Inappropriate warning
I have never added a single word of content to the page in question, ever: negative, positive or otherwise, so you have no business putting a warning on my talk page. Agricolae (talk) 23:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Agricolae My mistake, I understood nominating a page for deletion required alerting editors, I tried removing the notice from your talkpage but no longer have access to it. Mnh429 (talk) 23:10, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Setting aside the specifics of this instance, see Don't template the regulars. Agricolae (talk) 23:16, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Ann Louise Gittleman, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. clpo13(talk) 23:05, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi clpo13, I have not deleted or edited anything in the article. As you can see the BLP article exists primarily to disparage Gittleman, is negative in tone, and poorly sourced and is missing sources in places. It needs an administrator’s review to determine whether to delete page. I believe my request is in line with Wikipedia's speedy deletion policy.

I am not sure sure what spelling or grammatical correction you are referring to, but I do not believe I have made any. Can you specify which comments you are referring to? Mnh429 (talk) 23:19, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Certainly, it's this one, where you undid Agricolae's addition to their earlier comment. If you undid that edit by mistake, don't worry about it, but be sure to double-check what you're undoing in the future. clpo13(talk) 23:22, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing that out, clpo13. You are correct in that I undid Agricolae's edit by mistake.  It looks like Agricolae's original edit has been reverted though.  I'll be sure to double-check in the future.  Thanks.Mnh429 (talk) 23:44, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Ann Louise Gittleman. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 23:20, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
