Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, Truepatriotism, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, 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. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! faithless  (speak)  14:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

The information you keep inserting into the article has been removed by different editors. Instead of simply reinserting it, please take it to the article's talk page and explain why you think it should be included. Thank you. faithless  (speak)  00:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I am sorry if I don't understand the rules of Wikipedia. I am new here.  I did not simply reinsert my edit on Tom Hanks page.  I tried to make it more neutral for the second insertion.  Did you actually read the re-submission to see if it was neutral before deleting it?  Please let me know what I can do better.  I tried to view the deletion logs and could not find a record of my two deletions. I'm not even sure this is the right place to ask this question.  Thanks for your time.

 * I understand you're a new user, so I apologize if I came off as a bit gruff. For the record, it was not I who reverted your edits, but two other editors. We take biographies of living persons very seriously around here, especially when it comes to potentially controversial information. Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world, and what is written here can affect the subjects ofour articles in real ways. Therefore, before making any controversial changes, you should discuss your proposed changes on the article's talk page (in this instance, Talk:Tom Hanks). For information to be included in articles it has to be noteworthy, verifiable, and we must not give it undue weight. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me. Oh, and you can just respond here on your page, so we can keep the conversation in one place. :-) faithless   (speak)  06:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
