Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Talk:Luna (orca) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; 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 for further information. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 23:22, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Joshua. What Favonian is referring to above is that we generally add comments to the end of Talk pages instead of deleting what's already on the Talk page. Other editors should be able to look at a Talk page and join in the conversation. If you would rather that a previous conversation be made less prominent (e.g. for privacy reasons), you can archive the discussion using the instructions at Help:Archiving a talk page. Or you can leave a comment asking for the page to be archived, and I'll do it. I plan to archive the Talk:Springer (orca) page in the next day or so because it mentions some real names and we don't want to cause unnecessary embarrassment to anyone.

And here is an overdue welcome message for you:

Warning: removing references from articles

I see you have removed references from an article here: [1]and here: [2]. The references were to the Blackfish Sounder, a publication associated with the Vancouver Aquarium. It is clear from your contributions that you have a strong interest in promoting a particular individual who professes to have had conflicts with the Vancouver Aquarium. This to me looks like you have deliberately removed sources from an article for political reasons, and at Wikipedia we call that vandalism. So here is a vandalism warning:

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Joshua, you do actually sound like a nice guy who cares about whales. But for whatever reason you've seem to have gotten yourself into a project that is in some ways at odds with what Wikipedia is about. I hope you'll find some way to redirect your energies to some other way of helping the whales. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 05:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
