Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to England and Wales, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 23:28, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to England and Wales. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. --Jza84 | Talk 13:40, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is problematic when an edit is marked as a minor edit to correct spelling, and instead inserts a large amount of material, as your edit here to England and Wales. Please stop. Further edits of this type will be considered disruptive, and disruptive editing will result in your being blocked from editing. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on England and Wales. 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. --Snowded (talk) 13:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to add content to wikipedia about "Britain" then please add it to an article about Britain. The content you are adding is not relevant to the article England and Wales. In addition content needs to be from a neutral point of view. See WP:NPOV. Just to expand, your edit starts talking about "Britain" (There are many changes taking place in Britain) but in the same sentence you then start referring to England (where at present many people migrating to England) before again changing back to Britain again further on (In British schools at present). They are not the same. You need to focus on either England or "Britain", but whichever you choose the content is still not relevant to that article. Also the source you give on ntlworld is not a valid reliable source to verify content.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 20:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to England and Wales. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Nick Cooper (talk) 22:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at England and Wales. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. MastCell ^Talk 23:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
