Please stop creating random pages about Guatemala's history. Work on History of Guatemala where your work can easily be reviewed and worked on by others. I don't want to see any more new and redundant articles on this subject. Thanks. Harro5 00:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Hello Joanne, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- JoanneB 01:06, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello joanne

[edit]

We're sorrym but we cannot accept your article about History of Guatemala, since it's made of pieces copied from other webpages. At wikipedia we cannot use text taken from other pages due to the license we use. Those pages are copyrighted and we need to license articles under GFDL. So it has been removed. Sorry for the inconveniences. -- ( drini's page ) 01:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, we already have an article about History of Guatemala -- ( drini's page ) 01:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Enough articles for now, please

[edit]

Hi Joanne, please stop creating new articles for now. It's not clear where you got the information from, and you're creating articles that are (partly) redundant to what we already have, or they are not what Wikipedia is for. --JoanneB 01:16, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

It looks like you either haven't seen these messages, or you choose to ignore them. I don't know exactly what is going on, but what you're doing is not really helpful at the moment. I've blocked you for 3 hours, so we can sort out what has been going on, but please read the messages above before you go on. Thanks! --JoanneB 01:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conditions of unblocking

[edit]

Please read the response I gave to your Professor before you resume editing Wikipedia. We are serious about creating a quality encyclopedia, but want this done while Wikipedia's principles are followed. These include assuming good faith by replying to messages from Wikipedia administrators, allowing editing to your content, following Wikiquette in replying to messages and discussions on relevant pages, and looking to build consensus before making drastic changes as you have done previously.

With that, I will unblock you for now under the following conditions:

  1. That you read Wikipedia:Introduction and Wikipedia:How to edit a page before starting to edit.
  2. That for the time being you add content regarding your research to History of Guatemala only - note this does not mean adding wholesale unformatted sections of your research essays.
  3. That you reply to messages on this page either here, or on relevant talk pages - either those of the article, or of the user.
  4. That you do not post any new articles until you have proposed to do so on either my talk page or here. After being supported by the community, please read Wikipedia:Your first article before posting.

Thank you, and please follow these really simple but very important guidelines to allow you to learn how we operate on Wikipedia before you make large-scale changes. I'll keep a close eye on your progress. Harro5 22:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
