[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Artbristol! Thanks for weighing in over on the MMR vaccine article discussion. The Wikisuppression to which you have alluded, which have left enormous craters and otherwise pockmarked a growing number of the Wiki's medical articles, stems in part from evolving double standards that have gained foothold largely as a result of relentless Wikilawyering by certain stakeholders. Your concern is understandable, but perhaps the best that can be done is to start an article on the MMR vaccine controversy, similar to what became of the thimerosal article when the Wiki's medical lobby managed to burying the evidence of that iatrogenic nightmare over at the thimerosal controversy article. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
- Take a look at the New contributors' help page, the Wikipedia Tutorial and the Manual of Style, and If you still need any help, you can always post your question at the Help Desk.
- When you have time, please peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia and Assume good faith, but please keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
- Always be mindful of striving for NPOV, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
- Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!
And some odds and ends: Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~. Best of luck, Artbristol, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 06:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] reply
Well, we can't let him loose on every writer in English history, so maybe we can just politely remind him about the other available resources so that he'll stop. Would you mind doing that? I'm so busy here! Thanks, AdamBiswanger1 00:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disambiguations
I have been putting things on disambiguations like millie disambiguation and tree, and you have gotten rid of what i put, but they are all true why are you getting rid of them? -hotspot
- Sorry dude, I meant to leave you a message about it.
- Unless there's an article about that character, it shouldn't be on the disambiguation page. Characters from a computer game generally aren't notable enough to have their own article anyway, so I got rid of them. - MrArt 13:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
but you got rid of this Millie (Suikoden) on millie disambiguation, and it is its own article.-hotspot
[edit] Edits to Witchcraft
Greetings, MrArt. While some definitions of the word "cult" may be applicable to Wicca, the word has received enough of a negative connotation of late that using the word in a neutral, NPOV context is difficult in the extreme. Thanks. :D Justin Eiler 16:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
