I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

editPlease do not create hoaxes, such as you did in the article Nicholas R. Beek. Cease and desist from introducing misinformation into Wikipedia if you are attempting to test our ability to detect and remove it. This has been done before, with universally negative results. Hoaxes are marked for deletion shortly after they are created. Kindly — do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia, and then to check to see how long they have been in place and, if possible, correct them. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia policy to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Thanks, --Eastmain (talk) 05:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC) Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Suleiman the Magnificent. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Eastmain (talk) 05:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC) Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to Talk:Penis. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Eastmain (talk) 05:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
