User talk:Donkey 45

August 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Anticom. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 16:34, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That user hasn't edited since 2006, and we don't block people for having political positions, provided they undertake to respect Wikipedia's requirements for neutral editing. Also, your edit here [1] has nothing to do with article improvement. Wikipedia isn't a forum for advocacy. Acroterion (talk) 16:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But it ISN'T ALLOWED to choose usernames referating to your own political position at Wikipedia, Mr. Bush! LOOK IT UP! And also, Anti... in usernames is very little wished, what? --Donkey 45 (talk) 16:38, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed allowed, although that tends to attract scrutiny to the user's contributions. It may not be a well-chosen name, but if we blocked users for that kind of username, we'd run out of editors very quickly. Acroterion (talk) 16:41, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Soviet war in Afghanistan. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 16:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you're interested in the rules at Wikipedia, you should review verifiablity and reliable sources. You must cite sources for edits. Acroterion (talk) 16:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you.
