This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!

Your recent edits edit

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button   or   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:43, 9 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

April 2012 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Virgin birth of Jesus, please cite a reliable source for your addition. 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.

Your recent editing history at Virgin birth of Jesus shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Agnosticism. When removing content, 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 content 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.

You are also adding the wrong sidebar to the entry. Can you please look at what is contained in both. The Atheism sidebar you're adding is not appropriate for agnosticism. The general irreligion one is.Griswaldo (talk) 20:12, 12 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

WP:BRD edit

Lee I appreciate the fact that you are a new user here but I think you should consider following some of the links posted above about how we edit here. I think you also ought to see WP:BRD and WP:3RR. When you make a change to a page and someone disputes your change, the thing to do is to use the talk page to make your case and not to edit war over the change. Cheers.Griswaldo (talk) 22:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Please stop edit

Please stop. You've quite clearly created a second account (User:James Dover 2009) for the sole purpose of making it seem like someone agrees with your edit to the Atheism sidebar. That is also against the rules. See Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. Please use the talk pages to discuss your changes. If you cannot abide by our policies here you will soon see yourself blocked.Griswaldo (talk) 11:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've reported you to WP:ANI. Please follow this link to see the report and to discuss the issue - Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User_talk:LeeMcLoughlin1975. Cheers.Griswaldo (talk) 11:28, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
