Welcome
editHello Faxstraight, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope that you have enjoyed contributing and want to stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:
- Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
- Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) to automatically insert your username and the date.
- Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
- Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
- Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
- When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
- Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
- Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
- If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
- If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.

editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Adam Walters. When removing text, 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 text 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. Bidgee (talk) 12:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Adam Walters, 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. Bidgee (talk) 09:42, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Adam Walters. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Bidgee (talk) 09:42, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hello 'Faxstraight'. You should make yourself acquainted with the '3RR' rule, mentioned above. If you undo / revert / delete others' text more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, it can lead to you getting blocked from Wikipedia for a period of time. Just a friendly message, as you have reverted text on the Adam Walters article, and I can see you are headed towards that 3RR limit. Thanks, Pigmypossum (talk) 21:25, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
