Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Māori Party appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you.-gadfium 18:10, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Rachel Hunter. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article must include proper sources. Thank you.-gadfium 22:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your email. You must cite sources for additions to Wikipedia, particularly when they concern living people. Your personal knowledge is not sufficient. Please see the links I have provided you with above.-gadfium 08:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

You seem to misunderstand. I'm not saying that the material you added was or was not accurate. I'm saying that material added must include the reliable sources that it comes from. Your personal experience is not a reliable source for the purposes of an encyclopedia. In your email, you say that the material is easily verified, so please include this verification in the article. I think you must not have read the biographical information about living persons and sources links I gave you before.-gadfium 20:40, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

May 2009

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Brian Bennett (musician). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. WebHamster 20:18, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

August 2010

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

Response to above comments

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the comments. Wish I had noticed the older ones at the time they were composed. As it is, I can't even remember the change I made to "Candy" let alone the earlier ones.

Can I suggest that, when someone seeks to correct an insertion, the old and new text are reproduced for completeness?

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Richard Pearse. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bzuk (talk) 16:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Response to above comments

This apparently-common Wikipedia phrase "Your edits appear to constitute vandalism" is offensive and insulting. Whose opinion is to be more-valued when assessing if an edit is "unconstructive"? Where does your authority come from, to over-ride other people's edits? Are you the same snotty-nosed bastard who said similar things about my edits to Rachel Hunter? Who are you guys?

Thank you

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
