Happy editing!--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi I put back the backlog notice on Category:Articles lacking sources. There are around 10 thousand pages in the category. It'd be nice if you could help by sourcing articles, however! Let me know if you need some help. Kevin_b_er 22:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Freddie Scott. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

[edit]Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to AdventureQuest. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Mark Chung (talk) 09:47, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Response: I never made any edit or even visited the page you are referencing! When was this? - Mr. Motown.

[edit]Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 02:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Abraham. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. You also need to start using edit summaries and stop marking content changes as minor. NeilN talk to me 20:42, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Will you be continuing to edit against Wikipedia guidelines? --NeilN talk to me 21:15, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Abraham, you may be blocked from editing. Your changes -- which are definitely not minor -- have been reverted (twice). Please use article's talk page for discussion, per WP:BRD. Please stop marking all your edits minor.

You've got to start talking to other editors
[edit]Wikipedia is a collaborative exercise and it's a basis requirement that you show yourself willing to work with other editors and communicate with them. I see you've used edit summaries a couple of times, which is good, but you have never communicated via a talk page. You really have to start doing this if you want to continue to edit. I'm not sure if you are aware that you can be blocked from editing, which I am considering doing if you don't start to communicate. I don't want to do this, but avoiding it is simple, you just have to start communicating. And if you see your edits being reverted, ask why before restoring them, try to get agreement. Thanks.

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.
