Welcome!

Hello, Barbmattel, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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

October 2013

My edits are constructive. Your site is not constructive.

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Gary, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:47, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Barbmattel, Gary and Janice are 'disambiguation pages', and you need to follow a strict set of rules (WP:D) for those. The edits you made would be more appropriate on the topic pages, for example on Gary (given name). Make sure that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Take a look at WP:V for more information. Have fun editing!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Gary. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.
You should also take care with Janice and Klatt, two more articles where you seem to be engaged in similar behavior. Cnilep (talk) 00:43, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Living people

Hello, I'm Jytdog. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Michael Bloomberg, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message below. Thank you! Jytdog (talk) 15:27, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

January 2018

Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. I noticed that you recently removed content from Talk:Sonman Mine explosion without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
