May 2012

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to History of the National Football League in Los Angeles, 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.

Kemba Walker

What is this all about? Please don't waste other people's time with silliness like this. You seem to do good work elsewhere, so I don't want to see you get blocked. Zagalejo^^^ 18:25, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

Additions to the encyclopedia must be sourced, preferably from multiple, reliable, secondary sources. If you gather or interpret information beyond what the source states, you are synthesizing original research, which isn't allowed, except in a very few situations.

I think you're off to a good start with Wikipedia; I recommend you read WP:NOR, WP:RS and WP:V, which will probably answer any questions on the subject. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 04:03, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nicollet Island and Stone Arch Bridge

You cited a Mahalo.com page on Nicollet Island, but it was clearly copied straight off Wikipedia; can you watch out for such pages? Also, it's perfectly fine to link to red links in text, in fact they're needed: for details see WP:Red link. —innotata 19:02, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not funny

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Clayton Bennett, especially if it involves living persons. If that edit was intended as a joke, it was utterly inappropriate. —C.Fred (talk) 13:29, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Comments

Hey - looks like we have a number of similar MN Sports pages that we watch. however you rarely if ever put in an edit comment to describe the changes that you made. Edit comments help other editors know what you changed and why and greatly facilitates looking through your page watch list. Something to think about.

Owl City

		The Original Barnstar
		Good work converting the proseline at Owl City. I was wondering when someone would be bold and step up to do it! :) Michaelzeng7 (talk) 02:36, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012

Hello, I'm Jim1138. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to MarQueis Gray seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Jim1138 (talk) 06:20, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No warnings. This editor clearly knows better. Hence my message: If you do this again, you are going to be blocked, plain and simple. --MuZemike 06:35, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup notice for Savannah State Tigers football

You added a Cleanup tag on the Savannah State Tigers football but did not indicate which statistics you feel are inaccurate. Could you please provide additional information on the article's talk page because most of the stats that I see all have references. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 17:30, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm GrapedApe. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Joe Philbin because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! [1]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
