Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, GM11! Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:
I had to revert your edits to the New Jersey Devils page. If you read up on the help pages above, it should help you provide good edits in the future that will not be reverted. If you would like more information on why I reverted your edits, you can contact me on my talk page.
Best of luck, GM11, and most importantly, have fun! --Muéro 04:34, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

You are strongly encouraged to consider following the Wikipedia Manual of Style, since many of your edits are departing from the customary guidelines in ways that other editors report as being very disagreeable. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. -Muéro 01:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia did not provide specific references or sources. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Editors may choose to remove material you have contributed if it is not verifiable. Please provide specific references in your contributions to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content. You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! --Muéro 19:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Montreal Canadiens. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! --Muéro(talk/c) 23:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've perused your edits to various hockey-related articles, and I'm concerned that they frequently introduce non-neutral material, rarely cite sources, and often have an unencylopedic tone. Wikipedia should read like an encyclopedia, not like a local sports report. I have three specific concerns with your recent edits to New York Islanders:
First, many of your changes to the writing are difficult to read or even ungrammatical. You added this passage to a sentence: " although Resch was expended during the season — Smith's strong play despite only once finishing a season with lower goals against average than Resch did such."
Second, your edits sometimes fail to follow the Manual of Style and conventions, such as your changing the accepted "Stanley Cup champion" to "Stanley Cup Champion" and the accepted "first round series" to "first-round series".
Third, you changed the article to say that the number of points that Bryan Trottier scored in his rookie season was 98, not 95, as the citation says. Introducing incorrect information compromises Wikipedia, and you did not provide another citation or submit the question to review by other editors on the article's Talk page.
Consequently, I have some concerns that you are engaging in vandalism. Please take what I'm saying into account before you edit articles. Croctotheface 03:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

You may not have been aware of it, but Wikipedia has its own style guide described in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Please try to follow its advice. Edits that do not follow these guidelines may be changed to match what the WP:MOS recommends. Wikipedia does not require writers to follow all or any of these rules, but their efforts will be more appreciated when they do so. Croctotheface 14:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is an encyclopedia, and the language used should reflect that. While phrases like "stylistic ex-Boston Bruins bench boss Don Cherry" may seem more colorful and are acceptable in sports journalism, here they are considered point-of-view statements. Read WP:NPOV for more info.

Yet again, your edits are not encyclopedic. It would be to everyone's benefit for you to read up on WP:NPOV and WP:MoS, which would greatly improve your edits to Wikipedia and save other editors the need to go in and clean them up after you. Croctotheface 21:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. NeoChaosX (he shoots, he scores!) 20:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Detroit Red Wings. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Croctotheface 01:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's NPOV rule by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did to Martin Brodeur, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Croctotheface 03:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

I see on your talk page that you have been asked many times to change your editing style to be more encyclopedic. Please heed this advice, much of the stuff you have added in the last few days is irrelevant. Thanks. Dbrodbeck (talk) 20:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Please stop. If you continue to use disruptive or hard to read formatting, as you did in Duck, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pekinduck (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have just removed a bunch of links from Bugsy and Mugsy, which I believe you were responsible for. The plot summary was certainly very detailed, but... links should be used sparingly, for concepts or things that people might be unfamiliar with or for related articles with additional information - not for ordinary words like "rabbit", "second", or "14". See the Wikipedia Style pages for more info on this. Brianyoumans (talk) 02:06, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Second request: please do not continue to add links for common words like "rabbit" and "color". Brianyoumans (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Note: when you add a link, please make sure that your link does not go to a redirect (for instance, a link on "colour" gets redirected to "color".) Properly, the link should be done like this: colour. Brianyoumans (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi GM11. When you add content to an article, as you have to the article Moaning Lisa, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources. Thank you. Theleftorium 14:54, 11 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Nebraska, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native American (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Albuquerque Isotopes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Walter White (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

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.
