Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
- Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.
The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. Again, welcome! —Kf4bdy talk contribs
[edit] Preview button
I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again.

- Please heed this advice. The history of the 10 Downing Street article has been spammed into oblivion with your strings of minor edits. 86.136.4.119 16:22, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 10 Downing Street
I'm sure you are doing it with the best of intentions but the thing is, changes have been ham-fisted and americanized ("westminster palace"??? : saying the "British legislature" and not Parliament : you even inserted american spellings!), and is now written in a dreadful tourist brochure style. I half-agree with the anonymous IP on the talk page who thinks we should revert it back to June's version. The place for information about the constitution of the UK is on those pages: we don't want to go into any more details about that here. I retained a sentence saying that it's handy for Parliament and the Queen : that suffices. Morwen - Talk 06:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
