User talk:Owain Glyndwr

Welcome!

Hello, Owain Glyndwr, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at Naming Conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.

Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:

If you made any edits before you got an account, you might be interested in assigning those to your username.
If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language

Happy editing!

One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Brendan Behan appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. BigDunc 10:52, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BigDunc, thanks for the info. I disagree, however, that the use of the current word "volunteer" is a neutral point of view. Or do you dispute that he was convicted of terrorism for trying to blow up Liverpool docks? Only IRA apologists use the word "volunteer".

Terrorist is loaded word which makes a judgment on Behan, he certainly didn't consider himself a terrorist. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, this is why we avoid using terms like terrorist or freedom fighter to remain neutral. BigDunc 19:47, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
