Welcome!

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! 220 of ^Borg 03:43, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did with this edit summary for your edit to the Fereydoun Farrokhzad page. Please comment on the content and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. 220 of ^Borg 03:44, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Alchemy, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Alchemy was changed by Janus945 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.956428 on 2012-01-14T22:08:53+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 22:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alchemy

Hi there: Please do not delete blocks of referenced content as you did at alchemy. You may wish to open a discussion on the article's talk page about the specific references you find invalid, or NPOV issues. Your recent changes also included markup problems. Thank you. Car Henkel (talk) 00:01, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Car Henkel (talk) 18:45, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

please refrain form making threats. It was outlined on talk page that the edits you have entered are completely baseless and invalid.Janus945 (talk) 01:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I've addressed your comment at File talk:PLATE3DX.jpg -- well, I've addressed the part that was about copyright. As for how appropriate the image may or may not be, I'm not qualified to judge; please note, however, that it's not being used by any articles on the English Wikipedia. It's an image stored on the Wikimedia Commons, and in use on the Wikipedias of several other languages. You can make comments on those articles separately.

copy/paste of content

Note: I've undone your edits to the Darius articles for two reasons. First, by using copy/paste of content, you lose the edit history which is a violation of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License - if the content is to be moved, you must use "move" to relocate the article. Second, after a brief glance over the talk page, it is obvious that there is no consensus to move the article. Please develop consensus for the move before attempting again. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:26, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move wont work in this case, as it causes a conflict. The decision is based on fact and the vote is moot as it wasn't based on sources. I don't know what you did but the article has disappeared!Janus945 (talk)

Consensus is NEVER moot. Attempting to do so is a sure way to be blocked. Using "move" is the only appropriate way to move an article. Attempting to violate the site licenses is vandalism, and repeated attempts to do so will also result in a block. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:31, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why you're making threats here. I was trying to solve an issue which was laying dormant for months. The sources are widely available and the consensus is in favor of "Darius the Great" as the name of the article since the editor that started this never presented any historical facts of any kind, nor is he a historical expert himself (albeit even that would suggest original source knowledge). So let's drop the uncalled-for threats and uncivilized behavior and fix what was broken instead? Janus945 (talk)

You were violating the site license as well as claiming consensus exists on the talk page when it quite clearly and obviously does not. Warning you that such actions can and will result in a block is not uncivil. -- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:48, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I have no idea what you're talking about regarding a 'site license violation'. And yes there is consensus on restoring the name of the article as no one had any argument against the facts the were presented in discussion. The article name should not have been changed in the first place without valid reasons; They have had over 1 year to counter the hundreds of available sources which makes this restoration much overdue.Janus945 (talk)
