An extended welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rhein in Flammen

Thank you for your specifics. Please, as much as the Rhine is in flames, keep the flames of what we call "editorializing" a bit lower, - "breathtaking" is no encyclopedic fact. - Happy editing, on the cool factual side, please. - I love the fireworks! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I remember when I joined and bolded things that I wanted to highlight. No-no, bolding should be reserved (almost exclusively) to redirects. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:57, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for explaining how to use bolding and "excitement" words properly. I'm still learning how to write in a more 'encyclopedic' style.Elia-ovelha (talk) 10:32, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch is a good place to start for this.. Nzd (talk) 12:54, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rove.me

Hello, I can't help but notice that almost all of your contributions contain links to rove.me, a commercial travel website. Could I ask if you have any kind of relationship with this website? If you do, you may have a conflict of interest which you would need to disclose. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 09:35, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to be less subjective in selecting the information sources. Elia-ovelha (talk) 10:30, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, can I take that as confirmation that you do not have a relationship with this website? Nzd (talk) 12:56, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. I don't have a relationship with this website. Only as a reader.Elia-ovelha (talk)

Hi. Note that you cannot use rove.me as a reference because it is not a reliable source. I'm removing the ones you've added. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. --regentspark (comment) 17:23, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Ok. But the information regarding the tickets to the Full Moon Party is kind of important, so we could keep it without the source.Elia-ovelha (talk)

You can add material without a source so that's ok. But, if someone challenges it, then it will have to go. The ticket information stuff is really more about travel than of encyclopedic value (perhaps it could go in wikivoyage?) but I won't delete it if you add it back without a source. --regentspark (comment) 15:29, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
