[edit] An actual welcome...

Welcome!

Hello 71.96.143.242, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a great page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! → \\/\//esleyPinkha//\/\\ • 03:04, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but no exceptions can be made. This is an encyclopedia, and we have standards for each and every page, no matter how minor. I have already left your factual edits (such as the Astroturf one), and if you want to make constructive edits like that, feel free. If you want to make jokes and such online, there are plenty of sites on which you can do that, including personal blogs and sites like Uncyclopedia. Thanks for your message, and let me know if you have any further questions. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 03:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
