Welcome!

Hello, Aquatraveller, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few 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. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

What's with all the junky articles this month? You've previously made good contributions, but your April contributions in Crap town, Disgusta, Shitty, Maude cocktail, and Augusta, Georgia are all rather doubtful, and most have been queued for deletion. --John Nagle 06:03, 21 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Crap town

edit
 
As they say in the movies, "oh be-have". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want (as long as it's not offensive).

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 20:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Photographs

edit

I notice you have contributed some rather nice photographs of Georgia. There is a particular statue there that Wikipedia lacks a free use photograph of: the original Spirit of the American Doughboy is in Nashville, Georgia, facing East on the Northwest corner of Berrien County Courthouse Square – near the intersection of Marion Avenue and Davis Street, and can be seen on this page. A free photograph would be wonderful, if you ever happen to head out that way! TheGrappler 04:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

3RR

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Augusta, Georgia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. – Dreadstar 23:06, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nomination for Speedy Deletion

edit

I've nominated a page you created for speedy deletion Charles Walker (Georgia politician). It is entirely unsourced derogatory information about a living person.David in DC (talk) 04:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
