Welcome!

Hello, Gobbleygook, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Viriditas (talk) 08:12, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Project Censored

I've once again reverted your changes to Project Censored. You have duplicated already existing criticisms and you've given them undue weight. Please see Talk:Project_Censored#Confusing_edits for more information. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 21:02, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Young Turks ‎

I've reverted your changes to The Young Turks. iTunes is not a reliable source for an encyclopedia nor is CurrentTV. Please stop trying to characterize people and things as having a specific political affiliation. Viriditas (talk) 21:39, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New York City Police Department corruption and misconduct

I've reverted your changes to the New York City Police Department corruption and misconduct article. Please stop trying to characterize people and things as having a specific political affiliation as a pejorative. That's not how we write articles. Viriditas (talk) 21:41, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peace and Freedom Party

I've reverted your changes to the Peace and Freedom Party party. Please do not use partisan sources to write about our subjects or to tag them with "left-wing" as a pejorative. Please have a look at WP:RS and WP:NPOV. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 21:43, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy Scahill

I've reverted your changes to Jeremy Scahill. Your edits disrupted the lead section which properly summarized the article and reverted to a 2004-era type lead section, leading me to believe you are a returning user. You've also attempted to throw around the "left-wing" and "progressive" labels as if they were pejoratives, which does not fit in with our normal writing style.

Cindy Sheehan ‎

I've reverted your changes to Cindy Sheehan, most of which I do not understand. Please take your concerns to the open thread on the talk page. Viriditas (talk) 21:50, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Second Battle of Fallujah

I've reverted your changes to Second Battle of Fallujah. You appear to misunderstand what the concept of "independent" means in relation to Dahr Jamail. He's an unembedded journalist which makes him independent. This is not even up for discussion. Finally, you are engaging in the use of the term "politically leftist" as a pejorative again, so I've removed it. I think you need to slow down and learn how to edit Wikipedia before doing this again. Wikipedia isn't Fox News or Conservapedia. Viriditas (talk) 21:55, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
