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) 07:30, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

	::I have seen editors with your attitude before, but I will never understand it. If you joined the Elks, would you expect them to modify their rules to accommodate you? If your answer is no, then why do you think Wikipedia should modify their policies to suit you? The funny thing is, Wikipedia will listen to you about changing policies, unlike the Elks. You just have to start a discussion at the particular rule's page. You seem to have the attitude that just because you want to do something your way, you should be allowed to do so. Life does not work that way, not on Wikipedia or anywhere else. Every activity you will ever engage in has rules that go along with it. So, best of luck to you. If you ever decide that you can work within the framework we have here, come back. I will be happy to help you create any kind of article you may want to create. Just realize that there are rules on how you have to go about that. [[User:Gtwfan52\|Gtwfan52]] ([[User talk:Gtwfan52\|talk]]) 09:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
