User talk:Sarabrate

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Wewoka! Thanks for the weighing in over on the Trevor Marshall biography AfD discussion. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience: And some odds and ends: Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;. Best of luck, Sarabrate, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 03:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Take a look at the New contributors' help page, the Wikipedia Tutorial and the Manual of Style, and If you still need any help, you can always post your question at the Help Desk.
 * When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia and Assume good faith, but please keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
 * Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
 * Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

The "single user" charge was made on the Trevor Marshall bio page, probably arose as just a double standard, as vandals and puppets are dealt with swiftly and once in a while mercilessly, sometimes in an out of hand manner that violates WP:AGF. Unfortunately, the spin control spam effect sometimes sends things overboard in both directions, leaving a mess. Re-listing the article for deletion, is no big deal, given that few responses were generated. There is no compelling reason to disregard your contribution, unless a double standard that violates WP:Five pillars is invoked. There are records of when people registered, but to find out easily, just ask at WP:Village pump. In moderation, common sense says it should be acceptable to question others on their user talk page, so they can offer their opinion on proposed AfDs. Re-listing the AfD only extends a current review; often, the real troubles don't begin until cases are re-filed. Ombudsman 21:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
