Welcome![edit]

Hello, Philipbrochard, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Cultural conservatism did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome!  Schrödinger's jellyfish  01:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Eastern European cuisine, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Although we are grateful for the addition of the image into the article, please read Help:Pictures before adding any more images to articles. Your edit adding the image of kefir ended up just sitting bare in the article, as a massive image. Schrödinger's jellyfish  01:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify:
  • [[File:Kefir in a glass.JPG|Kefir_in_a_glass]] creates a giant image in the middle of the article with no placement or size information, as seen here.
  • [[File:Kefir in a glass.JPG|Kefir_in_a_glass|thumb|[[Kefir]], a fermented milk drink originating in the [[North Caucasus]] region.]] creates a smaller, thumbnail sized image with a caption, as seen Special:Diff/1212304094 and in the other images in the article.
I hope this helps! Schrödinger's jellyfish  01:51, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see a number of edits that are copied from other sources[edit]

If text is copied from our articles, you must note this in the edit summary with a link to that article. If it's copied from a source with a compatible licence, add the url to the edit summary. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should say I did this when I was new also. Doug Weller talk 11:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the ((Ctopics/aware)) template.

i understand. i am new to wikipedia but i have re read the rules and will consider them in the future. thankyou for alerting me, this is all beneficial. Philipbrochard (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, it's important to know this. Useful to look at the top of talk pages in the subject. No reason for a new user to know this either - see my new post above. Doug Weller talk 11:40, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accusing my edit as being "in bad faith" in edit summary[edit]

Methinks you violated "Assuming good faith (AGF)"; please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith : "Assuming good faith (AGF) means assuming that people are not deliberately trying to hurt Wikipedia".

In your edit summary reverting my edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marriage_in_the_Eastern_Orthodox_Church&oldid=1217704379 you made a valid point, but labeling it "in bad faith" I found to be both untrue and a personal insult.

I shall endeavor to find a better and more accurate wording than either those before and after the reversion. "Officiates" is misleading since in the Catholic Church a priest officiates with the sacrament being conferred on each other by the couple being married. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, however, a priest performs the sacrament; the couple being married say nothing (except by local custom where, before the crowning commences, the priest asks two questions about consent and not being promised to another). The sacrament of matrimony is performed by the priest in a manner analogous to a priest absolving sins at the sacrament of confession.

Also, I shall rename-subsections to conform to the wording in the Euchologion (Trebnik) and when my time permits, I will comb through the liturgical texts and reputable writings to amend this. Vincent J. Lipsio (talk) 02:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 2024[edit]

Information icon Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Marriage in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm CanonNi. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Signs of the coming of Judgement Day, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 07:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The content you added to Signs of the coming of Judgement Day was copied from another website, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. Regardless of the copyright issue, the material appears to have been copied from Reddit, which is not a reliable source for any topic on Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 14:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
