Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Barawa, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

editHello, you added text to Barawa that had been moved from the article to a new article, Bravanese people. The consensus on Talk:Barawa was to split it into separate articles about Bravanese people and Bravanese language. We really don't need the same text in Barawa. Thank you, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 01:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edit(s) to Bravanese people, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 01:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Blocked
editAfter seeing that another user reported you for suspected vandalism, I have reviewed your contributions to the project. While the report was for falsifying statistics, I also found that you have repeatedly uploaded copyrighted images to Wikipedia while claiming they are free. In doing this, you have compromised the integrity of the project. You are blocked indefinitely. Blueboy96 13:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
