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 abuse of multiple accounts.
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; 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!

January 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Climate change denial are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Discretionary sanctions alert for the topic area of climate change[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in climate change. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Your editing[edit]

Your account was created on January 17, which is 12 days ago. In the meantime, you have contributed nothing to the encyclopedia. The only things you have done is to argue on Talk:Holocaust denial that the article is not neutral, argue on Talk:QAnon that it shouldn't be described as a "far-right" conspiracy theory, and argue on Talk:Climate change denial that the "article is completely garbage".

You appear to me to be a point of view-pushing editor who is not here to improve the encyclopedia, but instead, wants to debate about their pet peeves. Wikipedia is not a social network, it is not Reddit or Discord. It is not a place where you can debate whatever you wish to debate. Wikipedia is a place where an encyclopedia is being built and improved by volunteer editors who are serious about doing that job.

If you do not change your editing behavior, I will have to point out to the community that you are NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia, and suggest that you be indefinitely blocked from editing because of it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:18, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PumpkinGoo. I'd like to add a little to what Beyond My Ken says and give you some advice.

First up, the reason you have not been blocked already is that you have only edited talk pages. That is not as bad as messing up actual article pages but you are running into serious problems under our WP:NOTFORUM policy, as well as the others already mentioned. Your contributions are so far from being constructive as to be disruptive. Even restricted to talk pages there is only so much of this we can put up with.

I think that the key point is this: You need to look at what you wrote here where you said "i dont care one slightest bit about what "reliable sources" AKA political news outlets call them". If you really do believe that then your values are fundamentally incompatible with editing Wikipedia and by far the best thing you can do is step away voluntarily. If you really believe what you wrote, or even if you were just trolling, then you will be leaving Wikipedia one way or another. Stepping back lets you do so with some semblance of dignity intact. I'd strongly recommend that but it is up to you. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:13, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
