'''Welcome!'''

Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and have been reverted. There's a great article about the [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|NPOV policy]] that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

*[[Help:Contents|Help pages]]

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]! Please [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your name]] on talk pages using four tildes (~&#126;~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out [[Wikipedia:Where to ask a question]] or ask me on my talk page.

Regarding {{article|Negroid}}: Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing Wikipedia under the [[Wikipedia:Three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which states that nobody may [[Wikipedia:revert|revert]] an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the ''effect'' of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.<!-- {{3RR}} --> [[User:Jossi|&asymp; jossi &asymp;]] <small>[[User_talk:Jossi|t]] &bull; [[Special:Emailuser/Jossi|@]]</small> 01:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

== Gay rights ==

I've noticed you've made a small change to the opening line of [[Gay rights]], changing "seeks" to "claims to seeks." Do you have a specific reason for this change? The wording has been carefully chosen, and the article is often changed by persons on either side of the issue that may not be familiar with Wikipedia's policy of a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]]. I don't want to dismiss a change by you as vandalism without hearing your reasoning first. [[User:Deadsalmon|Deadsalmon]] 08:25, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

It is debated as to whether or not what the movement seeks can be described in every respect as “equal rights”. I cannot see how the slight change in the phrasing I edited can be seen as anything other than an effort to support the NPOV policy.
