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. — •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• ^Speak! 10:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Please do not remove referenced content from Wikipedia articles such as what you have done with Batchoy. Please be aware that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should not be a place to advertise products. Such behavior may be interpreted as spamming.

Welcome

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. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
• 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! — •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• ^Speak! 05:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Batchoy

Thank You for re-editing my posts. However, if setting the records straight is considered non-sense and vandalism, how could we give common knowledge facts in our locality, be given a chance to be known? For your information, Federico Guillergan's account of the origins of lapaz batchoy only came up when their name was bought by a big fastfood chain. Is there any sense in the word "bats" and "choy"(from chopsuey)?

If you want to help eliminate non-sense about Iloilo City's most famous dish, you should help eliminate non-sense press releases which humiliates the Lapaz Batchoy community in Lapaz, Iloilo City.

Again, Thank You and more power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pansobilya (talk • contribs) 04:22, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia adheres to a certain set of rules for creating and maintaining articles. One of those rules is WP:Verifiability. This means that sources must be cited and that these sources must be credible, hence, we quote from news organizations, books, magazines and similar entities. Your contributions were not nonsense; that is the reason why it remains in the article. Removing referenced items from an article; now that is WP:Vandalism. There are procedures for handling such matters; hence, the warnings on your user talk page. If you happened to make those edits in good faith, then accept my apologies for interpreting your edits as vandalism; my warnings were in good faith as well. Please remember that my actions were in keeping with the spirit of complying with Wikipedia policy and do not reflect my personal views regarding La Paz, Iloilo City in general, or Batchoy in particular.
