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 possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring and 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 your account or IP being blocked from editing.

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!

WARNINGS[edit]

October 2008[edit]

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. --John (talk) 04:46, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been removed.

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to SmartDefrag, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:LeeHsienLoong.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:LeeHsienLoong.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 14:27, 1 March 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 14:27, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

March 2010[edit]

Hey, I removed the chunk of stuff you added to Lim Swee Say. While i agree with some points you make, that's original research and pushing your viewpoint, so against the NPOV and "Wikipedia is not your Soapbox" rules, I'm going to have to remove it. Air your views elsewhere, think of this as an encyclopedia. Ehque (talk) 15:06, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prosperity theology[edit]

Hi Hotblaster,

I wanted to explain that I undid your recent edit listing Kong Hee as a teacher of prosperity theology. There are a couple reasons:

The Kong Hee article doesn't mention prosperity theology at all, as far as I can tell. A rule of thumb I use is people don't go into the list unless their main article says something about prosperity theology. It would be best to take your claim there, to Kong Hee (and be careful to cite it!)
We already have too many people listed in that grouping; it is intended for prominent teachers of prosperity theology. Is Kong Hee prominent enough to be listed in the main article on prosperity theology? I've never heard of the guy (but then I'm not really into the movement either) If he is not, an all-inclusive category would be a better place for a prosperity teacher who's not prominent in the movement.

Thank you, -- Joren

August 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Vivienne, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

September 2010[edit]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did to Kwa Geok Choo, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You reported that Kwa "remains in a coma requiring mechanical ventilation as of June 2010" without citing a source, and marked it as a "minor edit". There was no evidence for this claim, which has since been disproven. Virtuaoski (talk) 16:06, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Sirolimus has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Source of copyrighted material: "Immunology" (2006) by Male, Brostoff and Roitt. Virtuaoski (talk) 00:59, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Vivienne. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. BLP violation.

October 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Kwa Geok Choo, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 10:57, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to upload media files lacking copyright information, as you did at File:LeeHsienLoong.jpg, you may be blocked from editing. If you are unsure of the correct copyright template, please refer to the list of image copyright tags or ask at the copyright question page. Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 11:12, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.

The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Kwa Geok Choo, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 09:51, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BLOCKED[edit]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

November 2010[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Singapore_Civil_Service, you may be blocked from editing. Virtuaoski (talk) 16:46, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As it has become apparent that your account will be used solely for unconstructive editing, you have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest it by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} to this page. Kuru (talk) 17:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
