Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:


 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:


 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Trey Stone
Just FYI, I blocked him for 24 hours. Read his talk page for the reasons. – ClockworkSoul 15:24, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You are right about Trey Stone, I am sure it is him on the Talk:Roberto D'Aubuisson page. Check out User:Melromero contributions. If Trey was blocked during that time I would swear it is him. Just a thought, hope it helps, --SqueakBox 03:54, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Trey's back to his old effort to marginalize the war crimes charges as much as possible -- I noticed you reverted him a few weeks back, so you might want to look at the current situation. I'm on the verge of giving up, as he's shown no interest in compromising, and no one is responding to the RFC I posted. RadicalSubversiv E 23:11, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I see you have been around for a month and have been getting your edits on Fidel Castro and other pages reverted.

Wikipedia is hopelessly biased and it's better you learn that sooner than later. The deck is stacked against you. Think of it like a casino - you will probably walk out of it a loser. You may win something, but you will probably lose more.

I suggest to you that if you write an original article, you submit it to a more sympathetic wiki. Of course, you can submit it to Wikipedia as well, but realize it will soon be ruined. A case in point for me, my No Gun Ri article. I wrote an article about the massacre of No Gun Ri and Zonath appears and tries to water the article down. Fine. But then he adds the words "in self defense" in a sentence. Which is completely untrue, the whole uproar over what the investigation uncovered is there were orders to shoot any and all civilians in certain areas. So a lie is inserted to rewrite history. I have to watch everything I write like a hawk and defend it from the Zonaths, the TDCs, the Dagens, the Adam Carrs and whatnot. It's just not worth it in my opinion.

So if you write a new article, please submit it to either the liberal wikis Demopedia or dKosopedia, or the anarchist-y wikis Anarchopedia or Infoshop's OpenWiki. If you want, you can submit it to Wikipedia as well, but if some bozo rewrites it on Wikipedia, it will still exist on a sympathetic wiki somewhere. This also will give some critical mass to wikis where one doesn't have to spend half of ones time delaing with reversions and ridiculous right wing bias.

While people like Trey Stone and so forth attack you, you are isolated and alone, because people who agree with you have already been driven off. Also, some admins will side with them and the admins friendly to people like you like 172 and Secretlondon were themselves driven off. So after a while you will just get frustrated and leave Wikipedia completely. Thus the balance of Wikipedia will shift slightly to the right, and since you will be quitting wikis altogether when you quit Wikipedia, Infoshop's OpenWiki/Demopedia/dKosopedia/Anarchopedia will not grow or get any critical mass.

It would be nice if one those wikis had the momentum of Wikipedia, but momentum only comes with momentum. I am putting articles up on those sites, which hopefully will draw users and build momentum. Perhaps at some point I will do a mass transfer of the articles I write to Wikipedia. It would take them months to destroy them with right wing bias. Ruy Lopez 05:10, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hola
Hi, just a note to say hello. I encounter your name regularly of late. Although I understand where Ruy Lopez is coming from in his comments above, I'd also like to point out that not everyone here is an Ann Rand acolyte. In any case, I wanted to thank you for signing the RfC. I am not sure how much direct effect it will have; we'll have to see. If the desired effects are not achieved, perhaps more ambitious measures will be necessary. All the best, -- Viajero 00:55, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
