Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Pedants Rule Here, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Henry Worsley (explorer) has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed.

Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

You can save your time as I no longer contribute to Wikipedia due to the numerous morons such as yourself. When 'St.' is edited to 'St' it shows how stupid some people are. I can't see any other edit that has been made that would affect myself. All my contributions were from published sources - not that that hasn't stopped retards from editing out my contributions. I have better things to do with my life - so the same!!Pedants Rule Here (talk) 17:46, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Henry Worsley (explorer) has been nominated for Did You Know
[edit]Hello, Pedants Rule Here. Henry Worsley (explorer), an article you either created or significantly contributed to, has been nominated to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page as part of Did you know.

Original research
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to George William Alexander, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. I notice you have been doing this to a number of other articles too, so thought it best to 'nip it in the bud'—though I see you've already been told about it above.

Any idiot can copy from other idiots - those persons are invariably parasites without any form of natural intelligence. It is unfortunate that Wikipedia is frequented by loonies and imbeciles. In future, revert all my contributions to a given page and not just those you want to vandalise.
DYK for Henry Worsley (explorer)
[edit]On 23 February 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Henry Worsley (explorer), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Henry Worsley attempted to complete the first solo and unaided crossing of the Antarctic, but died with only 30 miles to go? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Henry Worsley (explorer). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
