User talk:172.165.136.245

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Newcomers help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I noticed you are known only as an IP address; that means you are not signed up. To sign up, you only need to click Create account and choose a username and password. You don't need to provide any personal information. If you sign up, you'll have a username that others can use to recognize you and leave you messages on the wiki. You'll be able to sign your name just by typing four tildes (~~~~) when you leave someone else a message. Plus, you (and others) will easily be able to see a list of all your contributions to Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask at the Village pump, or feel free to ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Addhoc 18:18, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism label

Could I suggest you don't use the term vandal to describe other editors in a content dispute? Addhoc 18:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Seconded. Wikipedia guidelines make a clear distinction between vandalism and content dispute, which you are failing to observe. Guy Hatton 07:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Warning

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

This is in reference to your recent comments on the Jack the Ripper talk page.[1] EVula 19:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
