Adoption

Hey Dank. If you'd like to be adopted by me, just put the tag "{{Adoptee}}" on your user page to flag that you've been adopted by me. And then feel free to ask me all the questions you want, either on my own talk page, or on yours (I'll keep an eye here, to help you with any issues you're having). When we're having any discussions, it's easiest to reply on the same page to keep things easy to understand, so I suggest just asking me your questions right here, and then I can reply here as well.

As far as your problems on Day Break go, yes, I've seen those issues. It looks like the problem that the other editors are having is that you're adding a lot of information that has a non-encyclopedic tone. One of the things that keeps Wikipedia apart from other websites is that everything on here should be written encyclopedically (that means a neutral point of view), and can all be verified to it's original location. Nothing on here should be original research, Wikipedia doesn't report the news, we just write about what's already been reported. So your additions to the article were problematic because they contained speculation about the future, original research (or at least it looked like original research, since you didn't mention any reliable sources that'd already reported that information) and it also contained something that we call "weasel words", statements like "some fans..." or other generic, unsourced claims like that.

Finally, I'd urge you to read about the three revert rule, that says you can't make the same edit more than 3 times in a row, or people would basically go back and forth forever. If there's an edit war going on where people are disagreeing with you about the content of a page, both parties should stop warring about it and start discussing it on that articles talk page instead.

If you have anymore questions about any of these policies, or the edits that you were trying to make, please let me know. --Maelwys 23:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
