Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page World Jewish Congress worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please copy the article to your sandbox (User:Thaidigsmann/sandbox) and perfect your edits there before adding them to the article. The photos you are adding are inappropriately big, and may violate copyright. Harry the Dog WOOF 13:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on World Jewish Congress. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Harry the Dog WOOF 13:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I acknowledged that you were making good faith edits. The vandalism was because of the potential 3RR violation. It is very unusual for someone brand new to Wikipedia to begin making wholesale changes to an article. It suggests a vested interest, so the first thing you need to do is declare such an interest if you have one. (See the policy on conflicts of interest.) If you don't, you should, as I suggested, copy the article to your sandbox and make any revisions you feel are needed there. That will save multiple small edits, and other editors can then more easily see what changes you have made. You should also acquaint yourself with various Wikipedia policies before you undertake to make wholesale changes to an article. These include WP:OR, WP:SOURCE, WP:NPOV as well as the style manuals (WP:MOS). I hope this helps, and welcome again to Wikipedia. Harry the Dog WOOF 16:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
