Welcome

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello to wikipedia users.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

January 2012

Your recent editing history at EUCLID (university) shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. 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. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Talk:EUCLID (university). Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please don't accuse other editors of Islamaphobia Dougweller (talk) 14:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Warning about an attempt to identify an editor

You have tried to name an IP. You may not be aware of WP:OUTING so I am informing you that you must not do this again. This is always a blockable offense. Dougweller (talk) 22:03, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Warning - Personal Attacks

This [1] is a personal attack on other editors in violation of WP:NPA. Ascribing Islamophobic motives to those who disagree with you on sourcing issues about a California-based diploma mill apparently run by a Greek Orthodox clergyman is as untoward as it is absurd. If you persist you will almost assuredly find yourself blocked. Fladrif (talk) 14:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Notice: Discussion at ANI

Since multiple warnings have done no good, your conduct has been brought to the attention of ANI.[2] Respond there, not here. Fladrif (talk) 18:31, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to Preston University. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The reference citations you deleted are citations to published sources and are still valid references, even if you could not access them online. Deleting a valid citation and labeling the content as "unsourced" is disingenous. Orlady (talk) 04:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Yawn! Satinmaster (talk) 00:00, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Orlady (talk) 05:40, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks Satinmaster (talk) 00:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for agreeing not to mark all of your edits a "minor." I see that your recent substantial edit to The Higher Learning Commission was incorrectly labeled as "minor". In the future, if you accidentally mark an edit as "minor", please go back to the page and make an additional edit (for example, add a space somewhere), make sure the edit is not labeled as "minor", and indicate in the edit summary that your prior edit was accidentally mislabeled as minor.

In addition, that recent edit to The Higher Learning Commission -- an article that is a short stub -- was defamatory in its effect. No published source that I have seen has implicated the HLC with respect to the problems at Dickinson State University. Unless and until a reliable source states that the HLC deserves some blame for ineffective oversight, Wikipedia should not imply that the agency was at fault. I also suggest that you read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. --Orlady (talk) 17:54, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Final warning

This is your last warning. The next time you add defamatory content, as you did at Higher Learning Commission, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Continuation of your campaign to use Wikipedia to create a positive reputation for EUCLID (university) will have the same result. You have been disrupting Wikipedia. --Orlady (talk) 04:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Satinmaster, I forgot to give you a similar warning last night. See WP:POINT as well. Dougweller (talk) 06:03, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Higher Learning Commission DOES accredit Dickinson State University

The truth is not defamatory. It is a FACT that HLC accredits Dickinson University. You cannot deny that.

About euclid. You guys talk about POV a lot, although the Accredibase "report" is actually POV by someone not trained in international law. If you want the accredibase "report" in the euclid article, then the fact that euclid has responded in detail must appear there also. Right? Satinmaster (talk) 12:18, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Notice: new discussion at ANI

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talk • contribs) 13:27, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing, including POV-pushing, distortion of sources, and edit warring.. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
