Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Griffy013! I am Call me Bubba and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Your recent edits

Hi there. 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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:24, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Loonymonkey (talk) 20:01, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Southern Poverty Law Center. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

These are abiding by the policies that you cite above. They are extensive, on topic links.

Fyi

Please accept this invite to join the Conservatism WikiProject, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to conservatism broadly construed. Lionel (talk) 08:49, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Jose Antonio Vargas‎ 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. See BRD for how this is done. 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. Bbb23 (talk) 03:11, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

• I realize that there is a lot of material that was added to the article and has now been removed by RedPen and by me, but this is a WP:BLP and a sensitive one at that. The material is replete with problems, and it's not incumbent upon us to pinpoint any small amounts of material that may be salvageable. If you want to discuss the material, fine, take it to the article talk page, but your reversions are going to get you in trouble.--Bbb23 (talk) 03:15, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

This is your only warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Jose Antonio Vargas. Eyesnore (pending changes) 03:22, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

the issue is not specifically with any bit of language, it is with WP:UNDUE focus on inappropriate content. Stop your edit warring now. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:26, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

You just gave zero specific information. Basically: you don't like it. That doesn't cut it. If you have a proper argument make it. -- Griff013 10:26, 13 February 2013 (EST)
