[edit] Welcome to wikipedia and a few suggestions etc.

Hi,

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your recent posts. Although I disagree with your edits to Chris Langham, I can see that you made them in good faith. Therefore I want to warn you of a couple of rules Wikipedia has before you run foul of them.

One is WP:3RR which says that you can only undo other people's changes to any one article three times in a 24 hour period (except vandalism). You are hitting that limit. I see that you have edited the talk page to try to get your view across. That is encouraged by Wikipedia. WP:Consensus says we should talk through editorial disagreements. So it is good that you are making an attempt to do so without prompting.

WP:BLP is another important rule. Which says that Wikipedia editors should be very carteful of what they say about living people and reference controversial claims to reliable sources. (See WP:RS for what those are.) This is why the editors who discussed the matter previously in the Langham talk page have talked about how the press described him.

By the way, if you intend to become a long-term wikipedia editor, I recomment that you create your own user id.

Oh and people are keen about editors signing contributions to talk pages. (I often get told off for forgetting to do so.) You sign by putting four tildes (~s) in a row. This produces your used id (or IP address) and a date and time stamp.) --Peter cohen 10:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
