User talk:Luckynumbers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Welcome
Hi Luckynumbers, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for joining the coolest online encyclopedia I know of. I hope you stick around. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. Check out the simplified ruleset. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.
- Write from a neutral point of view
- Be bold in editing pages
- Use wikiquette.
Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.
Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing 4 tildes like ~~~~. Always sign the talk page, never the articles.
Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! Iswatch20 (talk) 09:12, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Personal attack
Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks, just like what was posted at Talk:Amen. You take my openness in who I am — yes, I am a Christian priest — as cause to claim bias while choosing to remain anonymous. While anonymity may be guaranteed, it should not be so abused. I shall remind you that you made selective reading of my user page, which clearly states that I work at the Oriental Institute of the University of Oxford, researching a Semitic language. I can understand why your omission of this fact, while dwelling on another suited your cause in claiming the world to be against you. Such an outburst — trying to discredit me — weakens your position. You failed to provide any evidence that you are in any way qualified to speak about the issues you do. You have remained a lone voice demanding a point of view amongst many who are sceptical of it. Much patience has been shown you. Clearer evidence has been asked from you, or some external evidence that might suggest you know what you're talking about. If you have any affiliation with a university, museum or library, let's hear about it. Otherwise, it is difficult to take your rambling and repetitive posts seriously. — Gareth Hughes (talk) 11:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Luckynumbers, I suggest you stop personally attacking Gareth Hughes before you get yourself blocked. Have a nice day. --Kagetsu Tohya (talk) 15:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
That is a laugh ... I think you got it the other way around
