Welcome and introduction

Hi, Kopfel301. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person by golly! And this real person (that would be me), wants to say welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've made an account! Thanks for joining; you're on your way to making some great contributions.

Because I've noticed you've just joined, I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. Any questions are fine, nothing is too silly (we've heard them all). Now, the tips below - hop on them - they should help you begin editing. Best of luck! JoeSmack ^Talk 03:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Yessss! You made an account! Totally sweet! Anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Besides that, you shouldn't feel nervous or anything about a good-willed contribution. If you're concerned, talk to us. Play in your user area. For example, create User:Kopfel301/test. If you feel nervous, feel free to talk to us. When you're ready, start your first article using the Article Wizard. You don't HAVE to use it, but for your first article it really helps. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. If you'd like more guidance, you guessed it, talk to us. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. (You'll want to sign your name with these four tildes ~~~~ when you leave something on a talk page to help know who you are!) Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia! --JoeSmack Talk 03:37, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

P.S. If you just feel like poking around, Wikipedia:Help is a good place to start. :)

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to David Huebner has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:06, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to David Huebner constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content from articles without explanation. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to David Huebner. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:24, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to David Huebner.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:41, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on David Huebner. 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. Stifle (talk) 08:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kopfel301 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 12:12, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

There is a policy of no ownership of pages here on Wikipedia. You can edit pages if you wish (although you may wish to read WP:COI and WP:AUTO if you are connected to the subjects you edit), but you do not have a right of veto over content. Stifle (talk) 17:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I got your email too. So, if you are David Huebner then you are a very very smart man, obviously. I'm sure you can see why we prefer people do not edit their own article. First off it can be biased, like I could give myself super-awesome info and downplay bad. Secondly, there is no way we can prove people are who they say, so taking their word for it that they were born in 1890 and are the oldest person in the world is going to make problems. Third, Wikipedia is based completely off reliable sources, and thus we use those to establish verifiability. So, what i'd do is go to my article's talk page and in a polite manner explain what is wrong and where a good reliable source would be to confirm that info.

As for your talk page, you can remove the warnings if you want, it is your talk page. Putting them there is simply to make sure they are seen and read by you, they don't have to stay.

I hope this help answer any questions, and I'm sorry you felt roughed up in your first wiki-experiences. If you have anything else please feel free to ask on my talk page and I'll try and help as best I can. :) JoeSmack ^Talk 20:36, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
