Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so on Wikipedia:Sandbox rather than in articles.
If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Van, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Help the youth???

The article Pre Shield Volcano has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No evident usage of the term. "Flammable lava"?!
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Acroterion (talk) 03:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Research[edit]
Hi Evan. I was looking over Post shield stage and did some copyediting to get it a little closer to Wikipedia standards. Unfortunately, a lot of your own interpretations have crept into the article, and some of those are not necessarily correct. When you write content, you need to keep the tone encyclopedic, meaning that it must avoid simile and informal language in favor of the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. You must also be certain that you understand every part of the subject - some of your writing was contradictory. I'm not certain that the subject has much currency in volcanology; I'll do some checking when I have more time. I am certain that there is no such thing as a pre-shield volcano (such a thing would be a simple volcanic fissure). Just because one thing exists doesn't necessarily mean that an opposite exists, nor does it mean that you can insert your own interpretation for a pleasing symmetry of concepts.
I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have, and appreciate your interest in contributing to the encyclopedia. Acroterion (talk) 04:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
- I've redirected Pre Shield Volcano to Evolution of Hawaiian volcanoes, as the term appears to be confined to Hawaiian volcanoes and is covered in the parent article. Post shield stage should probably become Post shield volcano, and could stand as a separate article if it is appropriately and accurately expanded, and referenced. The Galapagos Islands contain some examples, for instance. Acroterion (talk) 12:09, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
November 2010[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Microwave, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.
- Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
- ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
- The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Microwave was changed by Evan1111 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.968581 on 2010-11-29T17:30:56+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 17:30, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
