Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk pages]] and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should [[Wikipedia:Signatures|sign your posts]] by typing four [[tilde]]s ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button [[Image:Signature_icon.png]] located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!<!-- Template:Tilde --> --[[User:SineBot|SineBot]] ([[User talk:SineBot|talk]]) 04:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC) |

Please do not edit your own company page any longer. This will never produce the result you seek. Instead, use the talk page to discuss things with other editors. If that fails, select an option from the [[WP:DR|dispute resolution]] process. Please understand that Wikipedia is different from the [[blogosphere]]. Battling with those you disagree with will get neutral parties upset and lead to counter-productive results. I hope this advice helps.

Revision as of 15:23, 10 May 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia, Andrew. You can read the Wikipedia policies on editing and such; and I suggest you take a look at Talk:Kristen Bell-- her dad is apparently a contributor. There's nothing unethical about being connected to the article you work on, so long as you are not creating self-promoting spam and you provide citations that can be independently verified. Others should treat your contributions with good faith, unless evidence shows that you are ignoring the ground rules that Wikipedia has set.
Borderline dubious assertions within an article may be tagged with a [citation needed] tag, while the most libelous remarks and vandalism may be removed from the article as long as you mention libel or vandalism as your reasons. Speculation and opinion are other things that may be removed. Please remember to sign your comments made on talk pages with a series of four tildes ~ . That way, everyone knows who said what and when.
I have seen some ridiculous comments removed from the KFC talk page, but otherwise, talk pages are where we give more leeway for free discussion and debate among contributors. That may be safest route for contributions that might result in an edit war between two opposing parties, just like you did in Talk:Amanda Congdon. If you feel that you are entering into an edit war within an article, do not attempt to violate the three revert rule-- WP:3RR. Let the other guy fall on that sword. When your concerns are valid, there is always gonna be someone who can support you as the community tries to resolve the matter. Any changes that anybody makes is permanently archived, so don't be rash, but also, do not be afraid that your contributions will be made in vain. Rocketboom covers so many subjects in its blog-- I hope you can contribute just as much to Wikipedia. MMetro (talk) 01:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
