[edit] Original research
I see that you have been making contributions recently. Thank you for those, but please be aware that adding original research is not allowed on Wikipedia. Everything that you add to an article needs to be found in verifiable secondary sources. Chances are good that someone will revert your additions if they are not attributed to a reliable source. -Phoenixrod (talk) 01:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] March 2008
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions, such as the edit you made to The Fog of War. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. If you believe your edit(s) did contribute positively to the article, please start a discussion on the article's talk page and notify me so I can improve my anti-vandal efforts by learning from my mistakes in order to make less in future.
