[edit]

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 Australia, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Australia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --VS talk 09:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Use article talk page...

[edit]

Please stick to using article talk pages to discuss article issues. Don't discuss them individually with editors. You are welcome to notify me of any comments u make on an article talk page but I am not going to get involved in private conversations with you about article editing. Also, u should use edit summaries and review WP:3RR. Thanks --Merbabu (talk) 05:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I like the way that you have commenced discussion at Australia. Do not become disheartened by the responses you get. Aussie Legend is a good editor and normally quite helpful so I am hoping that he will engage with you to give you a pointer to the archive discussion he is referring to - and have left him a message under the current thread you started. We were all new editors once and it does take some to get to know this place - and as you can see by the situation at Australia - you can sometimes be wrong even if you are technically right. Stick in there - there's plenty to do around here. Best wishes.--VS talk 11:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
