Welcome

Hello Devilfan30 and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to the page Brady Hoke, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' 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 and being a Wikipedian! 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! Dawn Bard (talk) 04:37, 5 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Hillary Clinton has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Even if you undo said edits (which you did), that is completely unacceptable.MelbourneStartalk 05:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Paul Manafort has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. —MelbourneStartalk 06:12, 24 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Melania Trump shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:36, 19 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you add defamatory content to Wikipedia again, as you did at Barack Obama, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. —MelbourneStartalk 13:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy, as you did at Barack Obama. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Fuzheado | Talk 09:55, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ThT (talk) 10:24, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

After this user had received four separate warnings, they added this garbage: [5]. That the user thinks that sort of thing is appropriate right up until they've received more than four warnings is shocking and disgusting. --Yamla (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
