An extended welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:17, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Watts Up With That? article

 * Three times now (1st, 2nd, 3rd), you've removed the statement about being a climate change denial blog from the Watts Up With That? article.
 * Every time you edit the article, this warning appears at the top:
 * As if that wasn't bad enough, I noticed you told another editor to "take it talk", yet you seem to have overlooked the fact that this issue has already been discussed on the Talk Page, resulting in the statement being added in October 2015.
 * Accordingly, please cease and desist now with any further reverts, and seek to engage editors on the Talk Page for further discussion if you disagree with the longstanding version of the article. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 04:39, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement topic ban
--Neil N  talk to me 15:03, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018
To enforce an arbitration decision and for violating your topic ban, you have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 year. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page:. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Neil N  talk to me 03:32, 26 January 2018 (UTC)  Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
