Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Welcome to the Wikipedia, Freshmutt! And thanks for Wikifying Spanish-American War on the Guantanamo Bay page. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are some perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
When you have time, take a look at The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your unique perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

Some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Freshmutt, and have fun! Ombudsman 19:08, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

sources, WP:BURDEN

Per WP:BURDEN, when another editor challenges your addition because of lack of sourcing, it is the editor inserting the material that is responsible for finding a source and adding the source to the article. Do not restore unsourced material to articles after it has been challenged. In this case, I'll dredge the damn source up myself to avoid edit warring, but do not repeat this behaviour in the future: when another editor removes material you had added, don't just put it back because you don't think it's your job to provide sources. It is always the inserting editor's job to locate and provide the source.—Kww(talk) 03:07, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I've just searched, and I can't find a reliable source that describes them as "blue-eyed soul". CDUniverse.com provides user reviews that describe them that way, but they don't pass WP:RS. Amazon provides user reviews that describe them that way, but we can't use user reviews on Amazon as sources. There are a lot of Wikipedia mirrors that describe them that way, but we can't use Wikipedia or Wikipedia mirrors as sources. There are a lot of blogs that describe them that way, but we can't use blogs as sources. There are a lot of fan-sites that describe them that way, but we can't use fan-sites as sources. I'll remove them from the list Monday morning if you haven't located a reliable source by then.—Kww(talk) 03:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
