editPlease do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Kill Haole Day. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Bite me. Thank you. Makana Chai (talk) 08:35, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Welcome
edit- Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring and sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello
editI've reverted edit to Sandra Lee (cook) as an inappropriate addition. It is unencyclopedic personal commentary and used an unreliable source. Looking at your edits, I see that you have made several edits of this type, sometimes using of blogs, personal websites etc as sources. [1][2][3] This is particularly inappropriate in articles about living people. I notice that you haven't been welcomed and given information about the policies and guidelines, so I am doing here and above. I strongly suggest that you read them, because to be honest and quite blunt, I suspect that if you continue making these kinds of edits and using these kinds of sources, you may end up being blocked from editing. --Slp1 (talk) 14:52, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Sean Duffy
editThanks for working to improve the Sean Duffy article with your edit. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Material lacking these sources is not permitted.
In addition, single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words, and the material in sections, and usually in the articles as a whole, is presented in chronological order from top to bottom, so adding mention of a 2011 event before a 2010 election is not appropriate.
If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 23:59, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, 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. I've reverted a series of identical, unsourced edits you made to several BLPs. Even with citations, I'm not convinced the vote was notable enough to merit inclusion.
