User:Dbiel/Vandalism Worksheet/Sample Warnings/Use Sandbox

Welcome for IP address users

==Welcome==

Hello, and [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]] to [[Wikipedia]]. Currently, you are [[Wikipedia:How to edit a page|editing]] without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your [[IP address]] (yours is {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>PAGENAME}}). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|benefits for logging in]].

When you edit pages:

* Please [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|respect others' copyrights]]; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.

* Please use a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.

* If you are testing, please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&action=edit do so].

* Do not add unreasonable contents into any [[Wikipedia:What is an article|articles]], such as [[copyright]]ed text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]].

* When adding new content, please remember to [[Wikipedia:Citing sources |cite your source]] as [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not |Wikipedia is not]] the place for original research. See [[Wikipedia:No original research]] for more information.

The [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|Wikipedia Tutorial]] is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the ''edit this page'' tab above, type '''<tt><big><nowiki>{{helpme}}</nowiki></big></tt>''' in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page, to do so, simply click on ([[User talk:Dbiel|Talk]]) following my signature. I am not always around, but I will attempt to answer your questions as time permits and as far as I am able! Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. ~~~~

Failure to citing a reliable source

Welcome!

Hello, Dbiel/Vandalism Worksheet/Sample Warnings, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to name of article , is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Unfortunately I had to revert your recent edit

(copy of edit)

As well as the reasons indicated above the lack of notability is also a factor. I hope that this will not deter you interest in Wikipedia and that you will continue to find ways to improve existing articles or contribute new one. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia.
