Welcome edit
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! -- Luke (Talk) 19:29, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Georgia Republican Party edit
Hi Mitchell -- sorry about the removal of the material but I believe it was too close to the original. I'll have another look, and I'll be happy to work with you on it -- I'm at work at the moment but will try to post something on the talk page tonight; perhaps I can do some rephrasing as an example. Thanks for contacting me -- not every student does when I leave messages and it's much harder to be helpful to someone who doesn't talk to me.

- Hi -- just to let you know that I'll be posting at GRP talk page; I am leaving a note here so you get the little orange bar -- not sure if you're in the habit of checking your watchlist, or the talk pages of the articles you work on to see what's happened, so I hope you don't mind the reminder.

- In response to the note you left on my talk page, it seems (from the edit summary and from a quick glance at the content that was removed) that Ground Zero's objection to the removed material had less to do with the appropriateness of addressing where the GA GOP stands on the issues per se than on relying on the party's own words for that information. That's problematic because, as we discussed in class, the party's website is obviously not a neutral source and because it risks plagiarism and copyright violation. For this last reason especially, the material should be deleted. See Mike Christie's comments on the Kansas Republican Party talk page for some suggestions for writing about state parties' issue stances more appropriately.

- Perhaps it would be a good idea to take a look at this in person. Can you make my office hours tomorrow or Thursday? Sgelbman (talk) 18:21, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification edit
Hi. In Georgia Republican Party, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Jeff Davis and Reconstruction (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
