User talk:Bedom

Welcome, Bedom!

---

I'm Riana, and I noticed that you haven't been welcomed yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,829,574 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-

• Be Bold!
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off
• Policies, guidelines, and rules
• How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
• A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial

• Writing well
• Learn from others
• Play nicely with others
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
• Tell us about yourself
• Be inspired by our finest!

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, ~ Riana ⁂ 06:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Tough Choices, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Tough Choices was changed by Bedom (u) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2009-11-06T06:48:03+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 06:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Tough Choices. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Nezzadar ^[SPEAK] 07:13, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Tough Choices. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Nezzadar ^[SPEAK] 07:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

What's the deal with all the templated warnings for this user's "own" article? S/he isn't vandalising, s/he is adding things to it. Please check the changes being made - perhaps Bedom isn't adding them in a way compliant with MOS but it isn't vandalism. ~ Riana ⁂ 07:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
