User talk:Midnightcrow
Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]Dear Midnightcrow: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:
Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.
One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! --mms (talk) 02:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit]
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gnu distribution, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Do not delete {{prod}} headers from an article that you have created. ~~ [Jam][talk] 12:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Sockpuppetry case
[edit]

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Bald Eeagle (2nd nomination) for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. ~~ [Jam][talk] 08:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
To my fellow GNU user
[edit]Dear GNU user, you seem to engage in converting Wikipedia—the Wikipedians—to the standpoint of the GNU project. This is not wrong per se but you are doing it in a way which infringes the Wikiquette. If you think you see an error or even a systematically bias in Wikipedia, you are welcomed to correct it. Of course there can be oppositions. The GNU/Linux naming controversy is older than Wikipedia and was continued here from day one. Sadly the Linux fan boys won in the first instance. After there is a "consensus" one editor isn't allowed to make changes adverse to the consensus. First one must develop a new "consensus". This must be done on the talk pages of the articles or of project pages.
I want to allude that Wikipedia is not completely outside the real world. In fact it is all too close to the cruel reality. If you do diligent but mindless work on articles, you get a barnstar. But if you question the status quo—say move an article or delete a category—you will be attacked with all virtual means and maybe even threatened with legal means. I experienced it myself when I joined a discussion if Nazi symbols and flags of Nazi Germany should be censored in the German-speaking Wikipedia (despite I opposed the proposal). There are many cases of unjustly banned users. But if you don't comply with the policies you will be blocked for sure every time with any new account.
If you really can't stick to the terms you should not edit Wikipedia. Remember there is more in life. You could still try converting the people outside Wikipedia. There is no WP:3RR and WP:NOR. Good luck! --mms (talk) 00:53, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on gNewSense. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --mms (talk) 11:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
