The information you removed from the article is not "libelous". It is both factual and referenced. If you want to argue a case otherwise then you must do so on the talk page. You will not achieve anything by edit warring. Afterwriting (talk) 17:01, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss these matters on the article's talk page and not on mine. Thank you. Afterwriting (talk) 18:50, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Is this considered the Talk Page? I am new to all of this so I have no clue.

The Little River Band article's talk page. Afterwriting (talk) 19:14, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove material from Little River Band, which is verified, as you did here, without discussion on the article's talk page.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 19:24, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You've already been asked to stop this unconstructive editing numerous times. Either stop or discuss your concerns on the talk page. You will not achieve anything by attempting to remove information without discussion and consensus. You will only highlight the fact that some people want the article to be whitewashed of negative information and potentially causing media attention to the fact. You should have a good look at WP:COI. Afterwriting (talk) 21:44, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Little River Band again

[edit]

Hi there; as several previous editors have already mentioned, you really shouldn't remove large amounts of sourced material without consensus, so I reverted your removals. I'm currently going through all the references, and have removed some unsupported material; if you think there is more, please bring it up on the talkpage. It's better if you bring up specific items and wording, as opposed to just blanket claims of libel. And please do not put, or reinsert copyrighted photos into Wikipedia articles (its obviously copyrighted; the band are using it on their website and its been used in promotional material for some time), because it will end up getting your account blocked. See WP:IUP for the image use policy Curdle (talk) 03:45, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I go for help on all of this? I joined Wikipedia a few years ago but I am not very good at it. Is there a Tutorial?

A belated welcome!

[edit]
The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Paige Marie Turner. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Curdle (talk) 09:17, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just putting a standard "welcome template" down for you, as there are a few links that you might find useful. Another place which is set up for newbies to ask questions is The Teahouse. Everyone, even fairly longstanding editors tend to use that if they're looking for a quick answer to questions. There is also the Wikipedia Adventure. I think its aimed at younger editors, but some people find it useful. If you go to the search box on the upper right and type in WP: then what ever it is you're looking for, sometimes you can manage to find the policy page you're looking for as well.
Every editor has a talkpage, and so does every article. This one, of course, is yours; mine you can get to by clicking on the "talk" after my name in my signature. If the discussion is about a particular article, it should go on that article's talkpage, so any interested editor can see what is going on. When discussing, its better to be specific about what you think should be changed, and offer an alternative wording. Steer clear of terms like "libel"; its a specifically legal term, and we are all volunteer editors, not lawyers.
When editing, we use whats known as BRD - Bold, Revert, Discuss. Someone makes a Bold edit, then if another editor disagrees and Reverts, you should both go to the talkpage of the article to Discuss it. Reverting each other back and forth is known as Edit warring, and not looked on kindly. If you go over 3 reverts in 24 hours, you can end up with a temporary block. Constantly reverting the same chunk of text over several days can result in the same thing, even if you dont go over the "brightline" of 3 reverts. If you can't come to agreement with the other editor (consensus), or they wont talk, there are several other methods of dispute resolution editors can follow.
There is also The Manual of Style which is how to lay things out, what should be italicised, etc. Curdle (talk) 09:17, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
