Hi Joe - on your user talk page, there's a great introduction to Wikipedia that includes things like "how to edit a page", etc. I'd start by reading those. Admins are normal users who have access to a few extra tools (the rights to block a user from editing, to delete pages, etc.) - I wouldn't worry about whether you need to be an admin for a while. The standards right now require that you have several thousand edits before you have a realistic chance of being an admin, and frankly, most users don't need those tools. We're kind of the "janitors" of Wikipedia - we clean up some messes, but don't have any extra say in content disputes or editing. I'll copy this message to your talk page as well. (PS - I'm French Canadian, living in the midwest). - Philippe | Talk 02:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to James J. Bulger, 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 take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to James J. Bulger. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Neranei (talk) 04:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
