Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Seksen (talk) 17:26, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Do not add your own views, words like "terrorists", "heroes" or misinformation to Wikipedia. You may add sourced information, but using a neutral tone of language and without making any judgements. Thanks. --Seksen (talk) 19:24, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. --Seksen (talk) 17:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Seksen (talk) 08:49, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How to address problems in articles on Wikipedia

Hello, Theolimn.

I am here because the contributor who has been leaving you notes above asked for help at the administrator's noticeboard (here). I have no involvement with the article or the subject area.

I gather from the above notes and from your edits to Cypriot intercommunal violence that you are not happy with the article as it stands. You are very welcome to edit and help find solutions for those differences, but there are a few policies you have to follow in doing so.

First, you need to be aware that content on Wikipedia is governed by core policies and guidelines crafted by community agreement. Our purpose is to neutrally summarize what reliable published sources say about notable subjects. To meet this purpose, we can only place information that can be verified to reliable sources, not content that we know or believe to be true but can't prove, and we have to make sure that it is properly "balanced" to avoid bias. See the brief summary of our policies for more information; there's all kinds of links in that page if you want to read more about any specific policy.

Naturally, we will not always agree with one another about the best way to meet our purpose. While we are generally encouraged to be "bold" in editing articles, the situation changes a bit when we have disagreements. Because the project is collaborative, we are required to work it out with one another when we disagree. Every article has a talk page; every user has a talk page. We must work civilly with each other and assume that other editors are trying to make the best neutral, sourced encyclopedia they can.

Since there are disagreements about the content you are adding to the article, please take the time to talk to others and try to reach consensus. If the content you add is not neutral and does not refer to reliable, published sources, it isn't likely to be retained. If you think it meets those policies and another editor does not, after the two of you try to work it out, there are many ways to bring in others who are not involved in the article to help reach consensus. See dispute resolution.

Because this collaboration is required, continuing without discussion is likely to result in your account being blocked from editing. This won't help the article. :) You'll have a much better chance of improving it if you work with others and find policy-sanctioned ways to address any problems or bias you see. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
