Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 01:23, 9 January 2009

Welcome!

Hello, Alonzo33, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Misplaced Pages articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. 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 page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Misplaced Pages:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  Deli nk (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Point of View

Please do not introduce remarks into articles that do not conform to Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy. Your recent edits to Forever Living Products seem to show a distinct bias. Peridon (talk) 23:06, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Forever Living Products, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --Orange Mike | Talk 23:49, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

If you wish to introduce additional information into this article, given your clear pro-FLP point of view, I would suggest that you provide the information on the talk page with a solid set of references to reliable sources, not to puff pieces. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:14, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

mike, I am sincereley struggling here lol. I am trying to post the actual magazine article WITH the reference. It merely speaks of the growth in the aloe industry AND mentions many other companies.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Alonzo33 (talk • contribs)

Then it's not a reliable source; we need articles that are about FLP, from reliable sources (I seem to recall that Entrepeneur mostly runs puff pieces). --Orange Mike | Talk 00:27, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Mike what did I dissrupt? All I asked is if you really think that Entrepreneur Magazine runs 'puff pieces' meanwhile Forbes does not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alonzo33 (talk • contribs)

Did you not read Misplaced Pages:Three-revert rule? --Orange Mike | Talk 00:57, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I now seee the threevert rule, thank you. Now about answering the 'puff' question between Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine? Please do explain.Alonzo33 (talk) 01:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I have asked for the Forbes vs. Entrepreneur question 3 times and have gotten no answer. Either you are busy writing a piece that will be highly informative to me OR you have no basis for that claim that Forbes has any more credibility. Please do share the logic. Thanks in advance!Alonzo33 (talk) 01:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

As I figured. At least try to be consistent when wielding the almighty internet sword. I am obviously new here and trying to learn my way. I even expressed that to you mentioning my struggle. You then state your claim(Forbes vs. Entrepreneur) and do nothing to substantiate it. I guess when you have the 'power' you need not explain a thing. I will try to abide better tomorrow and hopefully will have better luck the 2nd time around.
