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 Yakub, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. 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. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Yakub was changed by Critical Mind (u) (t) deleting 12315 characters on 2009-08-25T00:31:51+00:00 . Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Yakub has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bwordpress\.com (links: http://eccentricscientist.wordpress.com/2007/03/02/do-brown-eyes-see-better-than-blue/).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:31, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Yakub has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Yakub, you will be blocked from editing. You have already recieved similar cautions today. Singularity42 (talk) 18:23, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Yakub. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Singularity42 (talk) 19:05, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Yakub (Elijah Muhammad)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Yakub (Elijah Muhammad), to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy Deletion Templates

Please review Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion before adding a speedy deletion template to an article. Your use of it on Yakub (Nation of Islam) was inappropriate. Singularity42 (talk) 19:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Yakub (Elijah Muhammad)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you created, as you did with Yakub (Elijah Muhammad). If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 19:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

your behaviour

If you do not take the time to read the basic policy pages I have pointed out to you, you will just end up blocked for your disruptive behaviour. Please try to figure out what Wikipedia is trying to do first, and then decide if you want to participate, or if you would rather just leave it alone. I am giving you a three hours' cool down block. Use the time to read the policy pages. In particular, familiarize yourself with WP:3RR. If you should continue revert-warring after your block expires, further blocks will escalate in length, on the assumption that you are familiar with policy. --dab (𒁳) 19:48, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Report of Edit Warring

I have refered the matter to the Administrators' noticeboard for edit warring. You can find the report listed here. Singularity42 (talk) 19:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:20, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages Talk:Melanin theory are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - 2/0 (cont.) 15:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
