Hi C1249256, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopedia and want to stay. As a first step, you may wish to read the Introduction.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my talk page — I'm happy to help. Or, you can ask your question at the New contributors' help page.

Additional tips...

• Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.

• If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• If you'd like to tell us about yourself and meet other new users, be sure to introduce yourself at our new user log.

Good luck, and have fun. --Random ^{Say it here!} 23:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. --Random ^{Say it here!} 23:50, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. WjBscribe 23:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln, you will be blocked from editing. WjBscribe 23:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln, you will be blocked from editing. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Michael Greiner 23:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear C1249256, unfortunately, your latest contributions constitute vandalism of Wikipedia, and it is with regret that you have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours. Please do not take this badly; this is not a punishment, but rather an opportunity to plan your upcoming useful contributions, which you are most welcome to make after the block expires. We'll be there to thank you in person for understanding and helping our project. Have a nice day! Phaedriel - 23:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
