GEAT BEOWULF
Welcome!
editWelcome to Wikipedia, GEAT BEOWULF! I am Tom Morris and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. Thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions, or feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or type {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. Again, welcome!
Redirects
editYou don't need to make redirects from every conceivable spelling and capitalization. For example, if the article is named SVTB and the user types SvTb in the Search box, it will take them to the article even if there is no redirect. The only reason you need a redirect from SvTb is if that is a proper alternate name for the entity (which I don't believe it is). --B (talk) 04:21, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- What B said. Please stop creating these redirects as they are unnecessary and all now need to be deleted. See WP:REDIRECT. Continuing creation of these will be considered as disruptive editing. Moondyne (talk) 09:07, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
SPI
editYou are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ENGLISH WHELPS. Thank you. Rangoon11 (talk) 11:13, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
May 2011
editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Template:Television in England with this edit, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Kmg90 (talk) 15:23, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Template:BBC, you may be blocked from editing. [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 18:40, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Your contributed article, BBC Two England
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, BBC Two England. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - BBC Two. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at BBC Two - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 18:44, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits
editHello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 12:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Edit Warring is STRICTLY prohibited
edit You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:Television in England. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -=- Adam Walker -=- 12:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 11:15, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article English Australian, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -=- Adam Walker -=- 16:16, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

You have already been blocked once for edit warring. I strongly suggest that, rather than continue to make disputed edits in the articles, you discuss the changes on the related talk pages. If the changes have merit, you can then build consensus for the changes, which will lead to other editors helping to implement them. If you continue to edit war without discussing the changes, however, you may lose your editing privileges indefinitely. —C.Fred (talk) 14:29, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of BBC Two England for deletion
editA discussion is taking place as to whether the article BBC Two England is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BBC Two England until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Mrmatiko (talk) 18:34, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
