A belated welcome
[edit]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. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
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) 23:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, but you have no right to state that "No modification made previously by me is authorized in this page."
[edit]Please don't assume that you do. Your editing is becoming disruptive and I suggest you try using the talk page. Doug Weller talk 19:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

[edit]
Your recent editing history at Cydonia (Mars) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Mars face
[edit]I noticed your complaint about only critical information being allowed. If that is the case, it's probably because the relevant sources that are considered reliable for Wikipedia are critical of the belief that it could represent evidence of an ancient civilisation. So the first discussion at Talk:Cydonia (Mars) should be to propose and discuss sources, because those are what the article must then summarize. WP:NPOV is about that, rather than balancing the article between proponents/dissidents (WP:FALSEBALANCE). If other editors at that talk page have difficulty evaluating if a source is reliable (WP:RS), then Wikipedia also has a special noticeboard to discuss sources, WP:RSN. —PaleoNeonate – 20:09, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

- You have already been warned by Doug Weller, yet your persist. You can be blocked without further warning. -- BullRangifer (talk) 05:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of topics characterized as pseudoscience. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. —PaleoNeonate – 10:32, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
You really need to stop attacking editors
[edit]Please read WP:NPA and WP:AGF. Your comments can have a chilling effect on collegial discussion. Doug Weller talk 20:18, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to User talk:BullRangifer while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting inappropriately and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 20:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --ApLundell (talk) 06:59, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
