Welcome!

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome, and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. Thanks for merging the Steven Avery stuff, and good job, too! -- Dhartung | Talk 03:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photoshopping

There may be a clear consensus to merge but not to simply redirect, and that consensus is not necessarily as clear as you want it to seem. However, I am not going to get into a edit/reverting war with you and let it be. Have a nice a nice day, Poeloq 18:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you'd given it more than a couple of seconds before you reverted and bothered to read the talk page you'd see that it was infact merged and not simply redirected... not that that should really make a difference, but even there your complaint has no merit. Please don't be so quick on the reverts, assume good faith, and take the time to look into what you are doing before doing it and things will go much smoother. And have a nice a nice day yourself. 216.165.158.7 18:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was "merged" one place and redirected another, and the basic content point that "photoshopping" is a common slang word for photo manipulation was purged from a bunch of articles. That's not what the consensus suggested at all, if there was any consensus. Why not post a proposal and see if it gets any agreement? You have been consistent far off from the center of opinion of these articles, and just keep pushing your way, so we are justified in pushing back. Dicklyon 19:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The articles that the name of that page made sense to a redirect for (and which people very clearly named in the consensus-making discussion) have nothing to do with what the content of that page had (which was basically a "look, we iz Photoshopping contest eLEET dooooooods"). The changes as done were exactly in accordance with what the consensus wanted, you and the losers in the consensus are simply refusing to accept the fact that you've lost and continue your edit warring and harrassment. It will not fly. 216.165.158.7 20:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly do you think the consensus was? And if there's a consensus, why are there losers? Dicklyon 20:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look, both of you stop it now and head over to Talk:Photoshopping. The poll seems to establish that a merge is reasonable, but we haven't settled where yet. If each of you can head over and discuss, under the new heading that I created, to where we should move this article, we can reach a consensus and the bickering about immature redirects and mutual reversions can stop with everyone more or less happy. 216.165.158.7, since you claim to want the best for the encyclopedia, I suggest that you try to be more than reasonable with the annoying other users and wait until they're satisfied with consensus to redirect the article wherever it is decided that we do - it'll be reverted until then. Dicklyon, since I know you want to reach a consensus, I'm sure you'll see that we can go with suggestions and find a logical place to which to move everything - don't feed the trolls. (216.165.158.7, you're not a troll, I'm just giving advice that happens to use the word.) Nihiltres 21:29, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, did that. I'm not opposed to redirecting to photo editing as I said before, but I oppose replacing the article by a redirect before the content has been put someplace. So I merged the part that Mr.7 didn't merge to photoshop contest. So I guess we're good now, if you are. Dicklyon 21:35, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We found a place to redirect it, AND the infor WAS put someplace, as already described. It WAS merged and parts that were repetitive (and spammy links) were removed. Dickylon here was just being difficult because he didn;t get his way. 216.165.158.7 05:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

Please stop aggressively edit warring on Photomontage and Photo editing. Discuss your edits on the talk page, not by making aggressive comments in edit summaries. --Tony Sidaway 12:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I blocked you for a month. I didn't see the warning from Tony before doing so. It is pretty clear that you have real problems collaborating with people here and since previous blocks did not deter you I decided yo put you on a pretty long block. Revert warring isn't on. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 13:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, this is just rich... We had consensus, I did what the consensus said, some people violating the the freaking policies blind reverted them and gave reasons for the revert that were invalid (claiming it wasn't merged yet when it had been or that there hadn;t been consensus), and I changed it back full within the 3RR rules, and now we have more admins blocking for simply no reason whatsoever except for continuing on with the false blocks from before. You people are just completely ridiculous. I hope you then banned the editors (including the admins!) who were revert warring to go AGAINST policies and the clear consensus too, or else you have showed clear disregard for the stated reasons for the block and are just pulling whatever nonsense out of of thin air you can come up with.

Blocked for a month, and for "POV-pushing" is what you put... that's just a lie, as nothing involved is POV pushing at all. People who are ACTUAL POV pushers and spammers and etc. don't get blocked that long. This place is really a joke. 216.165.158.7 17:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
