Welcome to Wikipedia , I hope you will like it here and decide to stay.

Also: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your username and the time after your comments. Signing with three tildes ~~~ will just sign your username.
I hope to see you around Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page!Hello! You misspelled Brigitte Bardot, so I have turned your page in to a redirect to the correctly-titled article. Regards, (aeropagitica) 19:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Warnings
editPlease do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Randy 19:18, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You cannot replace translation with parody. It is not NPOV and I've warned you about such changes before. The sources we have identify it as a translation. --Randy 19:24, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Please keep in mind that the article is about "Nuestro Himno", not "The Star-Spangled Banner". --Randy 19:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Umm... look above. You can't say that I haven't warned you to stop adding POV material when I've reverted many of your contributions because they are unconstructive and destroying the work of others. I'm not warning you again. --Randy 19:29, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't see anywhere in the source of that page that identify "Nuestro Himno" as a parody. Sorry. --Randy 19:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Please see WP:NPOV. --Randy 19:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Please sign talk pages correctly and add to them in the acceptable manner. And use edit summaries. We have no sources identifying it as a parody. You need to learn Wikipedia policy and procedures before arguing over it. And last time I checked Francis Scott Key didn't write Nuestro Himno. --Randy 19:46, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Adding "Francis Scott Key Version" as a 2nd level header under "Nuestro Himno" is inappropriate because he doesn't have a version of Nuestro Himno. That does not belong on the article. You didn't format your contributions properly and you added POV content. That's why I reverted it and it will be reverted again if you keep using the same POV attitude and fail to follow Wikipedia policy. --Randy 20:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
First of all, I don't care about some 2001 policy you've copied off archive.org. We're dealing with current issues and current policy. Secondly, you didn't JUST add the Francis Scott Key version. In case you've forgot, here is what you changed: [1] You deliberately added content that was POV in nature that decreased the value of the article. That's it, there's no more arguing. --Randy 20:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 698 article backlog.
