Please do not add images to articles which contain watermarks, distortions, or have any credits in the image itself, unless, of course, the image is intended to demonstrate watermarking, distortion etc. All photo credit should be in a summary on the image description page, not within the image. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 21:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Being “old” in life, but I am definitely young being a
Wikipedian. I have always thought of Wikipedia as a heaven and wonderland of knowledge. Man! Knowledge yes, but Heaven and Wonderland? No! Under the hood, if one view the history of articles, it is hell (sorry, can find a better word to describe it), there is this constant war between the Saints and the devils and I was standing in-between.
I have benefited much being a Wikipedia reader, and I thought I could help to contribute a little, but to my surprise/dismay I was quickly being accused of
vandalizing by
Binksternet (
talk) for
this article. And I realized I have made a mistake after reading
Binksternet (
talk) comments and links posted on
my talk page. And I quickly undo and
rephrased my edit, being new and not knowing by doing that, I have actually undone
Muisak work and not knowing the edit was still againts the
WP:NOR at that point of time. Sorry.
My
wrong undid was very quickly undone within a minute by
Alansohn (
talk) and has
Threatened to be blocked. At that point of time I was really mad, and was tempted to vandalize
Alansohn (
talk) pages, and lucky being old in life, I have learned not to be too quick in judging others. What happened to "respect the
talk page guidelines"?
I wonder, how many young
Wikipedians like me being discouraged (or turned into real Vandalizing
Wikipedians) by experience
Wikipedians like
Alansohn (
talk); without looking into the contributions history of that
Wikipedian and quick to judge and fast in threatening... At least to me.
Wikipedia. Is it heaven or hell? Are we welcome or not? Sigh... ---
