Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits 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 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 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! —C.Fred (talk) 16:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Ramblin' Wreck. Your edits have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in you being blocked from editing. —C.Fred (talk) 16:01, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

- Please stop edit-warring over the spelling. You do have a point on the Reck/Wreck spelling, but sources vary, and the omission of the W is more of an internal tradition among students and alumni than an official policy: the Alumni Association clearly ignores it, for example. It would be helpful if you, presumably with access to archives, can produce clippings or some form of authoritative references concerning the spelling. I remember being warned as a rat to spell it "Reck", and did so, but it's obviously far from universal practice. I do think the alternate spelling should be mentioned, but I a unwilling to allow the presence or absence of a W become the subject of a lame edit-war within one of WPs featured articles, an article which does Tech credit. Please participate on the aricle's talkpage instead of reverting. Acroterion (talk) 18:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
