Hello, Sh33pl0re, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Arabrein, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Arabrein

The article Arabrein has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unlikely this word has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (Wikipedia:Notability)

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. Prezbo (talk) 03:29, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Arabrein

I have nominated Arabrein, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arabrein. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Prezbo (talk) 17:04, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

September 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Gaylord, Michigan, 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. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Gaylord, Michigan was changed by Sh33pl0re (u) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2009-09-20T01:05:04+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 01:05, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Gaylord, Michigan. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:06, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Gaylord, Michigan. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:07, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Gaylord, Michigan.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:08, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Nystrom

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Paul Nystrom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Inks.LWC (talk) 05:18, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

May 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Mau Mau Uprising has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Sophie ^(Talk) 21:31, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Revert Volation

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Sophie ^(Talk) 21:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

as stated above, you have violated the 3RR policy, which says here you can not revert a page more than 3 times in 24 hours. I have also noticed that you are attacking scott. Personal Attakcs are NOT allowed on Wikipedia. Sophie ^(Talk) 21:49, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Blocked: Edit warring and incivility on Mau Mau Uprising

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Mau Mau Uprising. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Mau Mau

• There is a discussion you may wish to participate in at Talk:Mau Mau Uprising, cheers Clovis Sangrail (talk) 05:05, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Civility

Regarding this edit from earlier today - I'm absolutely certain that you're more than capable of making the exact same point without resorting to comments like It's obvious to anyone with functioning brain cells that you are about as unbiased as a Holocaust denier... and [another editor] is a lying, POV-addict who should be banned from editing this page.

There are numerous ways of dealing with WP:POV issues. WP:DR lists many of them. Insulting other editors isn't a helpful way of addressing WP:POV issues, however.

I realise it can be difficult when you're in a disagreement with someone, but using this kind of language really isn't acceptable. It'll lead to blocks of increasing duration, blocks which would be all too easy to avoid.

Cheers, TFOWR^propaganda 14:04, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Because I may be regarded as involved with this issue, I've noted my behaviour in this thread at ANI. The thread involves two other editors, the underlying issue is "Kenya in 1952" so I felt it was an appropriate place to raise this. TFOWR^propaganda 14:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
