I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.

Some answers

Re: Your questions on my talk page...

• "how did you find me? How did you know I edited something today?" -- Because you edited Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2006-10-31, which I have on my watchlist.
• "Why doesn't the search function find my article?" -- Although nobody owns articles, I assume you mean S.M. Lockridge... Well, I've added a link to Shadrach and Lockridge, both disambiguation pages, so anybody searching on his first or last name will find him that way.

Let me know if you need more help. --Geniac 05:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Preview

I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. --Geniac 05:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.

Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ElKevbo (talk) 21:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Dude. Seriously? It not my fault that you didn't look at the talk page. You're being ridiculous. I'm only trying to get better information into the hands of the people. Moreover, you have tagged me with an edit war because you are actively trying to be a dick. I, in fact, didn't revert that page 3 times, but only twice AND I posted on the talk page, which you didn't read. We are all in this together. Can't we give each other the benefit of the doubt? You were the one that reverted a perfectly good edit, without a talk page comment.Johnandrus (talk) 10:15, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
