User talk:IHaveBecauseOfLocks
July 2014
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. Mz7 (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- They are being signed automatically:) But to make this more aesthetic I already sign it myself.IHasBecauseOfLocks (talk) 17:48, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. I see you are a new user. Please be aware that Wikipedia has strict rules on what is called personal attacks; you should be very careful about labelling other users vandals even if you think their edits were misguided. And article talk pages is not the right place for such discussions anyway. I understand you are very engaged in that plane article, but please stay calm and write carefully and take advices from other users. That will help you in the longer run.

- OK, I also think this will probably happen. So what is the right place for such discussions? IHasBecauseOfLocks (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- You may address other users or administrators at their talk pages, like I did to you now. Preferably in a polite way, then. Otherwise, there is something called Administrators Noticeboard/Incidents (ANI) if you want a broader public. However, consider if this is your priority now. It's not always that easy to handle for a new user; I have during my own 2 years at Wikipedia never brought anybody to ANI. At ANI the behaviour of all parties may be examined; some complaints will also be more or less ignored if they aren't considered important by other editors. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 18:25, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- I notice an administrator has brought the article protection to ANI. So you may comment there if you want. Just be careful about calling anyone for vandals. (For your general information We also have a special forum for vandal reports, but that is just for cases where they have been duly warned, and also one forum for reporting edit warring. But all of this takes some time to learn). Regards, Iselilja (talk) 18:44, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. As for now I am quite calm, because informations I saw deleted are back again in the article. By now the general community has never let me down.IHasBecauseOfLocks (talk) 00:23, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
