Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Dino Rossi, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please be aware that referencing is particularly important in a BLP article. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 08:20, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Dino Rossi. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted.

Also...

You shouldn't leave messages inside the text of an article. Use the article's talk page instead, please. — e. ripley\^talk 22:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One more note...

You are coming dangerously close to violating the rule against reverting an article more than three times in a 24 hour period, if you haven't already, for which you can be blocked from editing. I think it would be wise if you would take a minute to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies before you continue to edit. — e. ripley\^talk 22:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have reported you for edit warring here. — e. ripley\^talk 22:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

If you're still reading this, you should really take a minute to read through these policies, especially policies for editing biographies of living people, the three-revert rule, what constitutes a reliable source, and the verifiability policy, as well as our rules requiring articles present information from a neutral point of view. It's a lot of reading, but you'll find your time here much more productive if you take a moment to look them over. — e. ripley\^talk 23:04, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
