edit
 

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Paul Shirley, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

  • I'm afraid the above automated message was probably not very helpful, so here is a human-written message, which I hope will help to clarify things. First of all, comments about what should or should not be in the article ("Shouldn’t there be some discourse ...") belong not in the article Paul Shirley, but rather on the article's talk page (or discussion page) at Talk:Paul Shirley. Secondly, messages to other people not related to work on building the encyclopaedia ("Dear Haitians...") do not belong anywhere on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a web forum or blog, and posting your own personal ideas, opinions, or suggestions not related to building the encyclopaedia is out of place. There are plenty of places where that sort of thing is fine, but Wikipedia is not one of them. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:33, 25 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I'm quoting the article itself, not editorializing.
Yes, so I see. I just saw your edit, and didn't check its context in the article, which of course I should have done. Sorry, and thanks for the correction. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
