Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Your edit re Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi[edit]

You may not have seen my reason for making the change. It is in italics under the article's "View history" tab, where I said I thought the wording in the source you quoted was unreliable information; I also said that if you wished to dispute this, you could record your objection on the article's Talk page, so that someone else could judge the matter and perhaps agree with you. It must have been an unpleasant shock to see the change without any explanation, and I hope you can resolve the matter on the Talk page! --P123ct1 (talk) 11:55, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

PS . I mistakenly posted this message on your User page instead of your Talk page, but I have removed it now. Apologies. -- P123ct1 (talk) 11:58, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you very much!

Editing advice[edit]

Comments such as Don't edit my stuff again or I'm gonna be unfriendly are not acceptable. I suggest you have a look at WP:CIVIL and WP:OWN. PhilKnight (talk) 20:25, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi[edit]

I am inclined to agree with you about his PhD. English will be spoken at Baghdad University, or American-English at least, so why not have a go? :) . I'd trust them more than a jihadist website! :D . --P123ct1 (talk) 11:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have written an email to the University. --KingOneBozz (talk) 16:15, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good for you ! Will be v interesting to hear what they say. --P123ct1 (talk) 19:22, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Guardian came to the rescue today, did you see? (Footnote 11) :D --P123ct1 (talk) 10:43, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have read the article. So I guess the "battle" is over his education is over? Until now I have not received an answer from the university.

Of course it is! I was never bothered by your edit half as much as I was by the jihadist website reference in the CNN report! It just sounded a bit dodgy to me. At least The Guardian is a reputable source of information, but would be interesting to know where they got their information from. :D

We wouldn't accept the email as a source in any case. See WP:RS - sources need to be reliable published. Dougweller (talk) 14:45, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
