User talk:Paulmaximus

Welcome!
 '''Welcome, !

I'm, and I noticed that you haven't been welcomed yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible. Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-


 * Be Bold!
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off
 * Policies, guidelines, and rules
 * How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
 * Who, what, why?
 * A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial


 * Writing well
 * Learn from others
 * Play nicely with others
 * Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
 * Tell us about yourself
 * Be inspired by our finest!

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on , and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type  on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers,

Copy source, not displayed text
If you copy text from one article to another, please copy the source text - from the "edit" view - not the displayed text. That way any formatting or tags (eg "clarification needed", in this instance are copied correctly. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:38, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Another example, and my temporary "correction" . Please insert the correct references in those spots. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:59, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Hebrew Bible, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 09:52, 18 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Looks like virtually all of your edits have been reverted for the same reason. Please follow WP:VERIFY and WP:RS. Doug Weller  talk 09:55, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't know what else to do to get you to stop these unsourced edits
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. I can see that since February 2015 you've ignored/deleted any warnings you've been given. That does show that you know about them. You've been reverted today several times, not just by me. And yet you continue to ignore WP:VERIFY etc. I'd rather not block you but if this continues it may be the only way to get you to change your behavior. If you need help or advice you can ask at the WP:Help desk. Doug Weller talk 12:06, 18 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Paul, a word from me (my username is similar to Doug's, but we're different people). You look like a good guy, with a lot to contribute, getting a bit frustrated by our rules. I'd love to see you become a really stellar Wikipedian, but at the moment, you're heading for difficulties. Please reply here and have a chat and Doug and I will see what we can do to help you. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 15:47, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
