User talk:AndyTheGrump

Welcome!

Hello AndyTheGrump, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

At Wikipedia, new Users do not automatically receive a welcome; not even a machine-generated welcome. Welcome messages come from other Users. They are personal and genuine. They contain an offer of assistance if such assistance is ever desired.

I suggest to everyone I welcome that they may find some of the following helpful — there’s nothing personal in my suggestion and you may not need any of them:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! 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! Dolphin (t) 22:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 Communist terrorism, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

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 produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please 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: Communist terrorism was changed by AndyTheGrump (u) (t) deleting 11449 characters on 2010-09-24T01:44:02+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 01:44, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Communist terrorism. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Access Denied ^{[FATAL ERROR]} 01:54, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop, take a deep breath, and just ignore him. Please work on other areas of the wiki instead. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 02:29, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any point in trying to contribute to a project where good-faith reverts are treated as vandalism?

I'm new to Wikipedia editing. I'd like to help. If I'm to be labelled as a 'vandal' by someone who thinks that 'Access Denied' is a valid user name (and doesn't appear to have looked into the past history of the article in question), I don't see why I should bother...
