Hi Pastaforeveryone! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Hello, Pastaforeveryone. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 99.12.243.171 ( talk) 20:26, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
WP:SOAP etc.
Wikipedia is not the place to post an editorial opposing the moving of a high school. Please refrain from doing so again. Please read WP:SOAP, WP:NPOV, WP:COI, WP:V, WP:OR, and WP:RS. Thank you. Qworty ( talk) 22:50, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello again. Did you read the policies I referenced above? I notice that you tried to WP:EDITWAR on the article. Instead of doing that--which is a policy violation--please discuss your proposed changes on the article's talk page. Please also read WP:CONSENSUS--a very important policy that describes how Wikipedia decisions are made. Thank you! Qworty ( talk) 20:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
