Getting started

[edit]

Hi Alexlikescats

Welcome to Wikipedia. While this is indeed an "encyclopedia that anyone can edit", there are actually a lot of policies, guidelines, and customs that guide what we do here - it is not a wild west. So far, all your edits have been on one article, and so your account is what we call a "single-purpose account". Please have a look at the link I just provided you, and please consider what it says there. We always want more folks to edit wikipedia, but there is a lot to learn, and it is a bad idea (on a bunch of levels) to start a dispute when you are just getting started and don't understand how things work yet. It is a recipe for unhappiness for you, other editors with whom you will interact, and it doesn't improve the encyclopedia, which is why are are here. So please - slow down, learn how things work, and hold off on making accusations and starting disputes until you better understand the relevant policies and guidelines, and the ways we interact with one another. Good luck! Jytdog (talk) 22:17, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ANI -- your name mentinoed

[edit]

FYI, I mentioned an edit you made on an ANI board here. I am posting this in compliance with the requirement that I must tell other users about their name if it is mentioned at an ANI board.David Tornheim (talk) 10:29, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
