Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Melbourne, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Bidgee (talk) 06:53, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism?
[edit]I suggest that you refrain from making accusations of vandalism, User:Biatch is a long term editor who has helped out in the past to get this article to the quality it was. Also stop adding photos that may not suit the section or article and do not over add images. "Please dont revert without reason as there is none." Sorry but I gave you a reason in the edit summary. I've also found that your edits have been poorly done and please use the edit summary in which you've rarely done. Bidgee (talk) 07:17, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Melbourne. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Bidgee (talk) 07:21, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
I have protected the article to prevent further edit warring and consequent damage to the stability and content of the article. The article has undergone a massive amount of undiscussed changes in the last 24 hours, a large number of which did not even have edit summaries. At Wikipedia, article content is decided by consensus, a process driven by discussion, and such large changes to a stable article without talk dialog with existing active article editors was bound to cause friction. The changes and reasoning need to be talked though fully on article talk so that when the protection expires, consensual changes to the article can be made without a reversion war. As far as your question on my talk page goes, the state the page is currently locked in is, as explained in the protection message, not a reflection of the final outcome of any disucssion, not does it reflect my opinion of the way the article should be. The sole aim of the protection is to prevent further damage from edit warring to the article content and stability and the image of the encyclopedia as a whole. If there is material that has been removed that you think should be reinstated then that should be part of the discussion on article talk now. Mfield (talk) 08:02, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing Issues
[edit]Greetings and Salutations, DutchSupremacy. My handle here is Edit Centric, and I am a moderator at Wikiquette Alerts. I was doing some patrolling of recent chages, and came across the change that you made at the article on San Francisco. As you probably have already noted, your change has been reverted, due to the fact that the image that you posted was not of the same quality as the one that it replaced (due to the fog over SF in the pic), and that the image was not what the caption described. (I think the image you posted was of the Bay Bridge, not the GG.)
I got to looking at things, and noted that since joining us two days ago, you've gotten off to a bit of a rough start. There are aspects of your past editing that are concerns of etiquette, and that's why I'm corresponding with you at this early stage, so that I can hopefully aid you in your understanding of and inclusion in Wikipedia.
The first thing that I would suggest is taking a small break from actively editing, and looking through the many help sections and guidelines presented at the top of this page. Understanding the environs that you're entering will go a long way towards better edits, and working (somewhat) seamlessly within the Wiki community.
If you have any questions, just ask! The only stupid question is the one that you don't ask. There are plenty of seasoned editors here in Wiki that would be more than happy to answer any query you may have. Edit Centric (talk) 05:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
AfD nomination of List of cities by GDP
[edit]
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of cities by GDP. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cities by GDP. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
