Hello, OutnumberedArmy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction and Getting started
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article
- Simplified Manual of Style
You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Hello, thanks for your thoughts. I believe that Mr. Cegłowski is notable, but we can discuss that in the AfD. (Just to clarify, I have no connection to him; I have never met or contacted him.)
I'll just explain how proposing an article for deletion works (that's the link to the formal guide) - it's only for deletions that nobody objects to. It can be cancelled out by anyone, any time, for any reason or for no reason. It can only be done once per article. In this case, the article had been prodded by user Piotrus (which I removed on adding extra sources and I believe he decided to accept this), so it wasn't eligible to be "prodded". So AfD is the right place to hold this discussion, but please don't propose articles for deletion twice again. Blythwood ( talk) 18:01, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
There is a discussion on the Ed Catmull talk page. Edit warring and edit summaries that don't actually answer things isn't the way to do this. Is there a reason you refuse to discuss the matter? Niteshift36 ( talk) 19:43, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Edwin Catmull shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- MelanieN ( talk) 03:29, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
