December 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Rehabilitation Project Force. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 22:13, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- You are right! Proximodiz (talk) 22:32, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
- What would be my primary reading material should I want to become a regular Wikipedia editor? Proximodiz (talk) 02:57, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
- At the top, I have dropped the default welcome message, with a lot of reading material for you, especially Wikipedia:Conflict of interest since you say that you are from the Church of Scientology. If you have any queries, come and chat to me about them.
- Also, I am administrator on Wikisource, where we currently have a very one-sided collection (see s:Category:Scientology) and I would like to encourage you to come over and help us balance it out.
- If the CoS would like to release any published documents into the public domain, I can help with the paperwork on our side of things.
- Cheers, John Vandenberg (chat) 01:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
