Hello '''{{PAGENAME}}''' and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. [[Be bold!]], explore, and contribute. If you truly love Wikipedia, you'll figure it all out soon enough. That said, if you still have a burning desire to grok this project |

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the [[Special:Random page|random page]] button in the navigation bar to the left. You can write new articles, add to existing ones, or edit any and all pages that appear. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are [[Wikipedia:Translation into English]] and [[Wikipedia:Cleanup]] for sloppy articles, but they may not interest you. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects projects] that you might enjoy more, but Wikipedia is the most popular by far. |

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be [[Wikipedia:Civility|civil]] with users, strive to maintain a [[Wikipedia:NPOV|neutral]] point of view, and show good [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette|etiquette]] like signing your comments with four tildas like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> |

You misunderstood my edit summary. The quote has been stable in the article for some time. In order to change it you need to establish that there is consensus to change. Per [[WP:BRD]], you made a "bold" change, you were reverted and you now should not revert but take it to the talk page to discuss. I did not say that I was against the change because of consensus. I am against the change because it is an extremely important and highly notable quote: a member of the royal family confirms the existence of corruption. The quote is set against the text discussing corruption. If you try to revert again, it will be edit warring (and remember edit-warring isn't just 3RR).

You misunderstood my edit summary. The quote has been stable in the article for some time. In order to change it you need to establish that there is consensus to change. Per WP:BRD, you made a "bold" change, you were reverted and you now should not revert but take it to the talk page to discuss. I did not say that I was against the change because of consensus. I am against the change because it is an extremely important and highly notable quote: a member of the royal family confirms the existence of corruption. The quote is set against the text discussing corruption. If you try to revert again, it will be edit warring (and remember edit-warring isn't just 3RR). DeCausa (talk) 22:05, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
