edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Lauren Booth with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ─═KlilidiplomusTalk═─ 17:30, 27 January 2012 (UTC)Reply


  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lauren Booth, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Articles are written from neutral point of view and present all sides of the issue. That includes criticisms of the subject by scholars, her peers, and the like. You appear to be removing the criticisms of Booth wholesale. Please discuss this on the talk page and proceed only after determining that there is consensus for the removal. —C.Fred (talk) 03:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the "sandbox" rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Doc Tropics 14:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
It looks like all of your initial edits have been reverted by more experienced editors which is bound to be frustrating. Reading "the five pillars" (linked above) should help you to understand why this happened by explaining the fundamental policies and philosophy of Wikipedia. Another useful link in this particular case is to BRD which explains the "BRD cycle". In short, you made Bold edits, they were Reverted, and the next step is to Discuss the issue on the article's talkpage. I hope these links and explanations will help you get started here. Good luck and happy editing, Doc Tropics 14:14, 29 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
