User talk:Oh boy chicken again

I'm more of a lurker. If I feel like i can contribute I probably will but this place is very confusing. I created an account because of the controversy on the Rupert sheldrake article. I wanted to lend a voice to the page and want to be neutral. I'm not confident I will be much help but the page seems like it needs an outside POV.

I'm new don't bite me I'm already scared to do much of anything. Oh boy chicken again (talk) 05:52, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Your editing experience
Regarding your statement here.

It would indeed be unfortunate if your first editing experience at Wikipedia happened to be in a very hot article in which you ended up getting burned turned you away from Wikipedia.

If the sock investigation turns out to conclude that you are an innocent party who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, I do invite you to attempt to edit at articles that are not so contentious. Most of Wikipedia does not have the intensely opposed sides as do some of the articles that attract hard core FRINGE theory supporters. (although you may also want to steer away from articles about Israel/Palestine, The Troubles, Homeopathy, Scientology as other majorly hot and contentious areas of editing)

It is also important to remember that Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS and that writing an open source encyclopedia requires conventions and approaches that are VERY different from those of traditional journalism. It may take adjustments to be able to take off a professional journalism hat and put on a Wikipedia editor hat. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  00:26, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
