Pyramids

If you would just post a link to the text you want editors to look at, that would be fine and would avoid issues of copyright violation that posting the entire text on a free-content website produces. Acroterion _(talk) 21:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

And I've done that already. Dougweller (talk) 21:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome

Welcome!

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

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Misplaced Pages policy.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page to follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring and 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.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. 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!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Please be aware of Misplaced Pages's policy that biographical information about living persons must not include unsupported or inaccurate statements. Whenever you add possibly controversial statements about a living person to an article or any other Misplaced Pages page, you must include proper sources. If you don't know how to cite a source, you may want to read Misplaced Pages:Referencing for beginners for guidelines. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 23:01, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

edit warring

Please don't WP:edit war as you are at Bosnian pyramids. If you cannot resolve your concerns on the talk page, please see WP:dispute resolution for how to handle this. If you continue to edit war, you can be WP:blocked for disruption. — kwami (talk) 09:53, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Bosnian pyramids. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 11:42, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Direct personal attacks of this kind are not acceptable . Please reconsider your interactions with other editors, and please remember that the article is not a forum for your personal views. The article owes its existence to the human-constructed hypothesis, producing an interesting article about the debate over their origins which the article summarizes. It is not a soapbox for an exclusive attribution to human construction. Acroterion (talk) 11:47, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

edit warring

You are re-inserting amterial that cannoty be verified. there is no search tool in the left had window of the page so where do you enter the date? you have failed to explain this. If you re-insert this I will have no choice but to take this matrer to ani.Slatersteven (talk) 15:15, 13 April 2011 (UTC) Please do that. Then someebody will finally figure out what is happening.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bosnian pyramids. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Acroterion (talk) 12:49, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
