Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

MRO-A[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of MRO-A, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.armamentresearch.com/russian-mro-a-rocket-launchers-in-ukraine/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Ages of consent in North America[edit]

Hello, XANTHO GENOS,
I undid my revert of your edit to this article. I should have checked the links first and then I would have seen that the links to federal sites were no longer working. I apologize for my hasty edit but articles about the age of consent have been targeted by blocked users in the past. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 11:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 28[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of active Russian Navy ships, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yury Ivanov. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:56, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.Deb (talk) 11:42, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using bare urls for references[edit]

Please take the time to use reference templates instead of bare URL. For example

<ref>http://armamentresearch.com/russian-forces-deploy-kab-500s-pgm-in-syria/</ref>

This can be more usefully replaced by

<ref>{{cite web |author1=N.R. Jenzen-Jones |author2= Yuri Lyamin |title= Russian forces deploy KAB-500S PGM in Syria |url= http://armamentresearch.com/russian-forces-deploy-kab-500s-pgm-in-syria/ |work= ARES armamentresearch.com |date=October 2015}}</ref>

Which gives the following output instead of a bare url

N.R. Jenzen-Jones; Yuri Lyamin (October 2015). "Russian forces deploy KAB-500S PGM in Syria". ARES armamentresearch.com.

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.
