Prince Article
Hi Slick and welcome to Wikipedia! I notice that you deleted some tags from the Prince article because they cluttered the section. There is a lot of text in the Prince article that is unsourced and by Wiki guideline it can be challenged and removed. This is especially true of text on articles that are biographies of living persons. So any editor could and in many cases should remove all unsourced text from an article like Prince. But I know many editors have worked hard to create that text. So my first step was to put those annoying notices that clutter up the article. That does two things: one it lets the reader know they are reading information that has not been confirmed by a reliable source and two it lets the editors know that those sentences need references and then it gets done. So I am going to put those tags back, but it is nothing personal to you. I'm just trying to get the article up to the encyclopedic standards of Wikipedia. I look forward to working with you.

Let's Keep it Civil
Hey Slick, thanks for your comments. Wiki is a community. We all have different ways of doing things and communication is always good. I appreciated your comment to me on my User Page and you can go there and read my response about the points for the Prince article. The one point I wanted to make here is that communication on Wiki is always more useful when its polite and civil. This comment below, which you left on my user page, might be better left out in the future. Thanks. All the best. -- — Kbob • Talk  • 17:49, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

January 2017
Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Aptronym. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 17:02, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Aptronym. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.''You're pushing it. One more outburst like you've been making at Talk:Aptronym would solidify a claim that you are only here to fight and have no interest in contributing to the encyclopedia. Editors are banned for less.'' JesseRafe (talk) 19:42, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Wikijargon
For what it's worth, if you find yourself facing potential conflict because of a misunderstanding of wikijargon (which is ubiquitous on talk pages), my advice would be to take a sec and ask for clarification at one of the venues that exist for that sort of thing (like the Teahouse, or even on my talk page -- happy to help when I can, though I can't guarantee I'll be active at the time). &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 00:49, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
