Hello, Duerring, and welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your recent edit to My Super Sweet 16 and reverted it due to the fact that it does not fall in line with Wikipedia's policy regarding neutral point of view. I understand your frustration with My Super Sweet 16 and its portrayal of young people and respect your opinion, but Wikipedia isn't a soap box from which to vent one's frustrations or opinions of this kind. I hope you understand. If you have further questions, feel free to leave a post on my talk page, or if you need help, add {{hangon}} to this page and someone will be along shortly to assist you. Again, welcome. bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 19:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. Happy to help, and thanks for the good wishes! bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 19:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Duerring. I noticed that you changed a large portion of the Hacker article into l33t speak, in order to provide authenticity. Your edits, however, made it difficulty for people who aren't familiar with l33t (and even those like me who are) to read the article, so I reverted your edit. Please don't make further edits like this, as they could be seen as vandalism. Thanks, bwowen talk•contribs•review me please! 20:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand that editing Wikipedia can be fun when you first start, but please put a little more thought into the edits that you are making if you wish to contribute postively. The edits that you have made to ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol are not constructive. If you have no intention of contributing postively, you may end up being blocked from editing if you continue. --Ed (Edgar181) 20:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I have removed the vandalism message that I had left. Here is a standard welcome message that has a few useful links which may help you...

Welcome!
