 Welcome to my talk page! 

If you have come here because I have reverted an edit of yours: No, I'm not part of a conspiriracy to hide "the truth." I reverted because it didn't meet a policy that Wikipedia includes. The most common policies aredisruptive editing,vandalism,policies on the biographies of living persons andverifiabillity and sourcing. No, I'm not biased against you, and I could be wrong. If you (hopefully respectfully) disagree with me, come and leave a message on my talk page, described below (click SHOW) Sometimes, I can make mistakes. That happens, and given one civil message, I can redact the warning, restore your content, and everything should be okay. However, to do so, please comply with some ground rules: Don't insult me. Not only does that make me dislike you more, it's contrary toWikipedia's policiy on personal attacks, and can get you another warning. Definitely don't make any threats, likethreats of murder, suicide or harm,legal threats, andouting my personal information (or at least what you think is my personal information). This could get you an instant block or a referral tothe Arbitration Commitee in severe cases. Discuss, in a calm manner, why you disagree with my revert. If you, in hindsight, actually think I was right, then all is well, and things should be okay. I'm willing to apologise for my actions, but in turn, you should be too. Like me, you're not always right, and please don't insist you are, especially even if I've provided substational evidence to the contrary. Lastly, after the revert is discussed and done, I may be willing to guide you on your Wikipedia career, or at leastrefer youto somewhere you can get help.

You can leave a message here. I should respond within my next time I'm active.

Please keep the following in mind:

• My preferred method for replies to threads I've made is using the: wikitext to indent the reply and using{{ping|TheDragonFire300}} or{{reply to|TheDragonFire300}}
• Please make sure messages comply withWP:CIVIL,WP:HARASS andWP:NPA. Failure to comply will result in your messages being ignored/removed, and in the case ofWP:HARASS andWP:NPA, a warning being issued.
• If I did something stupid, trout me. Even I make mistakes sometimes. (Counter-vandalism is hard).
• SHOUTING AT ME RARELY MAKES THE SITUATION BETTER.
• There is rarely any need to reply to discussions with a resolved box on it or a discussion in the archives.
