Welcome to Wikipedia.

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: Arab was changed by 85.225.105.40 (c) (t) replacing entire content with something else on 2007-11-23T10:23:00+00:00 . Thank you.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Arab, you will be blocked from editing. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 18:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to List of countries by GDP (nominal). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Oxymoron83 00:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images on Wikipedia

You appear to be trying to change the picture on List of countries by GDP (nominal)‎. In order to add an image to an article, it has to be uploaded to Wikipedia's servers in a separate process. You edits have changed the image that is linked, but since there is no image by that name the net effect is to remove the image from the article. You can find more information about images at Wikipedia:Images and Help:Images and other uploaded files. Don't hestitate to ask if you have any questions.

You have apparently figured it out while I was typing this, so feel free to disregard above. Natalie (talk) 19:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

What? I it IS existing on wikipedia allready. Besides, how would i be able to put a picture there that does not allready exist on Wikipedia if i'm not a user? I took it from another article about GDP.

I see that, as you have indeed changed the picture on the article. But you made several edits that changed the name on the article to nonexistent pictures. This often happens when people are attempting to add pictures to articles that they haven't uploaded to Wikipedia. I misunderstood the problem you were having.

[edit] Why do people WP:revert you so much?

It may be because much of the material you add is unsourced or it may just be that, rightly or wrongly, editors seem to have less respect for people who have not signed up for an account.

Unfortunately there is a very high vandalism rate on Wikipedia(WP) and many folks just assume the worst if a suer is not logged on.

Please post a note on my user page when you've got your new Wikipedia name, so I can properly greet you! Alice.S 11:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
