This originated from a British Adult "comic" called Viz - it was used in an episode of "Sid the Sexist", when he was talking to Baz about dealing with blondes. However, I feel it fits Wikipedia in the sense of Not biting the newcomers and Assuming good faith - always assume the person you are dealing with may need things explaining, politely. Personal warnings are much friendlier, since if they're kept civil, they can encourage conversation and discussion. In short, don't assume you're talking with someone who knows everything, it's highly unlikely. BarkingFish Talk to me | My contributions 23:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

This originated from a British Adult "comic" called Viz - it was used in an episode of "Sid the Sexist", when he was talking to Baz about dealing with blondes. However, I feel it fits Wikipedia in the sense of Not biting the newcomers and Assuming good faith - always assume the person you are dealing with may need things explaining, politely. Personal warnings are much friendlier, since if they're kept civil, they can encourage conversation and discussion. In short, don't assume you're talking with someone who knows everything, it's highly unlikely. BarkingFish Talk to me | My contributions 23:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if the links here make much sense (or if the agnostics and atheists will like the mentioning of God here), but it's worth a try. For the record, I'm not trying to make any statement outside that which Schumann already has - that of encouragement. By the by, should I link to Robert Schumann or to Album für die Jugend, where he writes that? — La Pianista ♫ ♪ 04:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
