A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Eaterjolly. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! JarrahTree 10:11, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Greatly appreciated even if a bit late, if anything it adds a sense of being noticed by others in the community.

This block on the interwebs, is just a bit intimidating, but for such a integral resource I wouldn't have it any other way to be honest.

I like that I've survived this long without a hairpin-trigger greeting, and still my first talk post is this.. ho ho, surprising I haven't gotten the least bit of in-trouble (yet) isn't it ha ha

I hope to stay like this a while more between contributions;

hope you have a good one and you'll be the first one I buzz if I have any concerns!

Village pump: Wikipedia, a quatertiary source

(WP:SNOWBALL)

(edit: previously section-titled "cut it out")

Look, sometimes people advance proposals so out of line with what Wikipedia is and how it works that they aren’t worth discussing. Your proposed change has a 0% chance of being accepted. I am reclosing it, again, and to be clear I am doing this as an administrator in order to stop disruption of the village pump caused by your proposal. If you open it again, expect to be blocked.

Motion to censor

(edit: previously section-titled "September 2018")

(Redacted warning about restoring proposal, because agreed overreaction.)

@Kirbanzo: @Beeblebrox:

One cannot have an edit war in a discussion namespace.

~~Claiming otherwise is an abuse of wikipedia policy.~~

If the idea you want to censor by closing and collapsing, truly up-ends wikipedia, then no one will respond and nothing will happen.

~~Your acts of censorship only show cause to believe some merit exists in my argument.~~

~~I will take this to the arbitration committee if I must because this kind of bold censorship is an abuse of authority.~~

The discussion violates no policy. WP:SNOW explicitly states that it is not a policy.

Please assume I act in WP:GOODFAITH.

I shall assume the same and that you only mistook me for spam.

@Kirbanzo:

I appreciate your apology. : )

Do you mind if I restore the proposal?

I don't intend on trying to canvas some "win".

I just want an earnest response to my criticism, my claims, and my proposal.

Notice service

(edit: added "service" to section-title)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.

The thread is WP:ANI/IncidentArchive993#User:Eaterjolly. Kirbanzo (talk) 22:31, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Motion dismissed: what next?

@Alex Shih: @Beeblebrox:

So I read over WP:PEREN, not finding anywhere in there my proposal to specify how to find wikipedia appropriate information in otherwise unreliable sources (which happens often on wikipedia anyway imo). You even specified 1.6/1.7, but I don't notice any similarities between either proposal and mine, besides 1.7 and 1.6 also vaguely having to do with the sources allowed on wikipedia.

I also read over WP:NOTFORUM and that seems like an absolutely ridiculous policy to cite in a discussion area, and my discussion did have to do with "the task of creating an encyclopedia" so I don't get the problem.

I'd appreciate someone telling me why my proposal doesn't help rather than just throwing policy links at me and trying to shut me up.

Thanks : D
