July 2015[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Historicity of Jesus, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Scr★pIron^IV 14:34, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did? I may have done so by accident - I'm still new here - but I didn't mean to delete nor change in any way any message of another user. If that was the case I apologize.

I understand; I restored the other users' comments, as well as re-inserting your own. These things happen. Scr★pIron^IV 18:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ANE[edit]

Hello, I'm Hexafluoride. I wanted to let you know that I removed the "seeking adoption" userbox from your user page, because you haven't been active for at least a month. When you come back to Wikipedia, feel free to add the userbox back with the code {{Adopt me}}. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

No problem. I use wikipedia daily and try to improve it when I see there is room for improvement. But I often have trouble due to sheer lack of knowledge of how things get done in the wikipedia community. Since no one seems to want to adopt me I guess I'll learn on my own in time. Thank you for the heads up. Apeximius
