March 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Watson School. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Watson School, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cind.amuse 19:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Crabtree Hot Springs, California has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. You have stated in your edit summary that material added to this article was "word for word" from an unnamed "history book". Wikipedia cannot accept material of this nature, unless appropriately licensed. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:42, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Crabtree Hot Springs, California. Thank you. Accusing others of vandalism (or, as you wrote it, "VANDALISM") for attempting to rectify perceived problems with the article, is not acceptable. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and working together with other editors is an important part of that. Please discuss the issues on the talk page for the article; or here, if you prefer. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:45, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Crabtree Hot Springs, California. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:00, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
