October 2013[edit]
Hello, I'm Binksternet. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Ica stones because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

- Hi Binksternet, I apologize for the inconvenience. Is the way I reply through an edit? LOL. I'm sorry I am a bit confused about the guidelines. I was attempting to include points of reference. I can redue my last edit to not include these if necessary, but I thought I saw reference points added to many articles in the past. Thank you for your help. Let me know if you get this. LOL.

- Yes, this is a good way to discuss the matter. I reverted your changes because you made the Ica Stones appear to be somewhat more plausible, even though scientific consensus is that they are fake. In your two edits to the article you brought two different creationist website URLs as citations (Genesis Park and Creation Liberty Evangelism), but these websites do not meet the requirement for WP:Reliable sources. They are self-published websites. I thought you were promoting the websites, so I removed your changes. Binksternet (talk) 04:12, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- No original research – Wikipedia articles must not contain original research
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia.Paul H. (talk) 13:00, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
