Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Engrish. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Newton2 18:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] South Africa

Concerning [1] this change. In South Africa (and I should know since I'm South African) "coloured" refers to people of mixed race whether or not they descend from the Koi or not. So, if a black person has a child with a white person, that child is considered "coloured". Mikker (...) 12:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits made during August 17, 2006 (UTC) to Subwoofer

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits. MER-C 08:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Afrikaans

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --Adriaan90 (Talk|Contribs) 10:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

You added the sentence "It is however more likely that the withdrawal was done for business reasons and not in support of Afrikaans" on the Afrikaans page on why Johann Rupert possibly decided to withdraw a number of advertisements. I have not heard of or read anything about this in the media. Could you please provide a citation, else I will have to remove that sentence. Thank you. SumDude 09:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to MXit

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! --Adriaan90 (Talk|Contribs) 16:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] February 2007

The recent edit you made to Tsunami constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages. If you wish to make useful contributions, read the introduction to editing. Thanks – Qxz 18:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South African language names

Hey, I don't think your edit war with Zyxoas over South African language names in various articles is very productive. Please try to make helpful edits. At least make sure that there are redirects from the new names to the articles, because the red links are misleading. But better yet, back out for a moment to avoid fanning the flames. — mark ✎ 07:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reagan and SDI

Thanks for your assessment about SDI on Reagan's talk page. Could you please provide a page number citation for the quote in Gaddis' book, and then we can start working with bits and pieces of the text to make the SDI statement true? I'll be glad to work with you. Happyme22 23:46, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Now that I look at Reagan's history page, the words "...There is no evidence to support this view. The Soviets knew as well as everyone else that SDI was an idea that was ahead of its time: the technology simply did not exist to implement such a scheme." WAS VANDALISM THAT WAS NOT REVERTED. It was a mistake, and I reverted it. Sorry if it caused any problems, or confusion. Happyme22 23:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] June 2007

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to MXit. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Oxymoron83 13:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
