Original research

Keep in mind that if you're adding something to a page, especially something involving the opinion of a group of people, you need a source. If you don't have one, it's original research, which is not accepted at Wikipedia. Also, linking two sourced statements together with a word like "however" is synthesis. --King Öomie 02:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bearian (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a short time to prevent further disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.
