Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Tsutomu Shimomura, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so on Wikipedia:Sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Toddst1 (talk) 23:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Tsutomu Shimomura. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Metric units

edit

Please do not remove metric units from articles.--Curtis Clark (talk) 04:51, 23 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please read WP:UNITS, a section within WP:MOS: "In scientific articles, use the units employed in the current scientific literature on that topic. This will usually be SI". Changing to US units of measure violates Wikipedia guidelines for scientific articles, as does switching the sequence so US measures come first: "Wikipedia generally prefers international systems of measurement, such as the SI, over U.S. customary units or the imperial system. Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, write "He was 1.83 meters (6 foot) tall", not the reverse." Please do not continue making edits of this "reverse" sort. Dyanega (talk) 00:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Please stop changing international units of measure to US units of measure. It is NOT appropriate to do so in an international resource such as Wikipedia. Dyanega (talk) 23:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
 

You have now been asked three times, politely, to refrain from making such changes. If you persist, the matter will be directed to an administrator. Dyanega (talk) 23:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

 

Please note that you are also in violation of Wikipedia's "Three-revert" rule. DO NOT CONTINUE TO REVERT PAGES. Please leave Yellowjacket and Hornet alone; if you continue, it WILL be reported. Dyanega (talk) 23:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Xbox 360, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Halo Fanfiction

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Halo Fanfiction, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Erechtheus (talk) 00:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to American and British English spelling differences‎, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

July 2008

edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to List of Japanese cars. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Closedmouth (talk) 02:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to User:Closedmouth. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Bongwarrior (talk) 04:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

No personal attacks, please

edit

  Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: User:Coaster1983‎. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bob talk 17:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Labrador Retriever

edit

Hi, I understand that sometimes it becomes quite tedious to keep our cool, but can you two have some kind of working arrangement in the article without having to revert each other? That would be beneficial for the article as a whole. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 18:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

"I hate British English" is not a valid reason for reverting an article. If you continue this behaviour, you may find yourself blocked from editing. My advice would be to sort it out rationally in the talk page of the article. Thanks. Shovon (talk) 19:18, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your constant vandalism

edit

I have reported your constant vandalism to the Labrador Retriever page. It should be dealt with in the next day or so, hopefully. --PlasmaTwa2 19:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Tan ǀ 39 19:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I actually AM an admin, but that's not relevant to the issue at hand; when I edit articles, I'm just a user, just like you. I reverted, you posted to talk, I responded, you didn't respond back. The onus is on you to justify its inclusion, not for me to justify excluding it. hbdragon88 (talk) 21:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've just seen this discussion now. You don't seem to understand sources CPO, I suggest you read WP:V and maybe WP:RS (though RS is an essay, not a guideline). Photobucket is most certainly not a reliable source. Thanks! Fin© 15:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Call of Duty: World at War

edit

Hello there. Please stop changing the order of platforms. It's alphabetical and Xbox 360 is after Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Wii alphabetically, therefore it goes last. Thanks! Fin© 15:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please stop changing the order of platforms on video game articles, including Call of Duty: World at War and Spider-Man 3 (video game). They are meant to be in alphabetical order, not in the order that you prefer. If you keep changing the platform order, you could violate WP:3RR and be blocked for your edits. Thank you. -- Comandante {Talk} 19:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
