Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:17, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Super veritas! Thank you for your contributions. I am N2e and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! N2e (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

VSS Enterprise
Hi, I started a Talk page discussion on the Talk:VSS Enterprise page. New discussions generally go on the bottom of the page; that is where you will find it.

Also, be sure to sign your posts with four " ~ " (tilde characters).

So why don't you move your comment from the top of the page, to the section for discussion I created, and let's continue over there.

Cheers. N2e (talk) 02:16, 22 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Super v, thanks for engaging on the discussion, and working collaboratively to develop a solution and get a better encyclopedia along the way. I really appreciate that; many new editors would not have stuck with it and gotten to a good solution, or the interaction can fail when editors have trouble working with one another.


 * Keep learning as life goes on, and I hope you continue to contribute to Wikipedia. N2e (talk) 12:49, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Well my persistence and "thick-skin" helped a lot. When you reverted the change I made claiming it was spam, that upset me. I edited in referenceable information, and someone tells me I am a 'spammer'? You came off as a 'jerk' as I labeled you in some old comment. I see now that you were just trying to uphold Wikipedia's integrity, but that could have sent most new editors packing, never to return. Once I saw that we both wanted the same thing, to get the article right, then the process began on correcting the article.

The BRD process is not something shown to new editors when they start editing, so when someone reverts your change, for whatever reason, it is unexpected. If someone is going to Revert a Bold edit for Discussion, (and it is not being labeled as 'SPAM') mentioning or linking to the BRD page would let new editors know that this is a normal part of the process, that they did not do something "wrong". That would be very helpful with retaining good help, because most people who make what they think is a 'good' edit, will not stick around, if someone undoes all their work in one click. This gives them the impression that this person who reverted their work thinks they did something 'wrong' when they did not. Most people would assume it is an idiot/troll on the other end, reverting their changes, because they know what they did was "right", and a Wiki article is not worth the time arguing with what could turn out to be an internet troll. So they leave, never to return.

Those are the issues I see with "new editors" and getting them to stick around

I have made a few minor edits on some pages, and started some new 'Talk' discussions on others where I think information may be incorrect, before correcting it. This 'new editor' is getting the feel for it, and is sticking aroundSuper veritas (talk) 15:10, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Angelina Jolie
Hi. I reverted your good-faith edit. Angelina Jolie is an Honorary DCMG, not a substantive DBE. Quis separabit? 21:45, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
