Welcome[edit]

Hello, Papineau13, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Sprague, Connecticut have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that do not violate the undue weight policy and have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

November 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. A8 UDI 15:16, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Baltic, Connecticut and Sprague, Connecticut. 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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Orlady (talk) 13:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Baltic, Connecticut. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. If you believe that you have some useful encyclopedic content to contribute (and this would not include listing yourself as having won a race), please explain yourself to other Wikipedians by way of edit summaries or talk page comments -- and please cite sources if you can. Continually reverting the changes of other Wikipedians (as you have done on the Baltic and Sprague articles) is not productive -- in fact, it is disruptive and is considered vandalism.

Your creation of User:Baltic13 to evade sanctions for vandalism is sockpuppetry, which is at least as serious an offense at Wikipedia as is vandalism. You can continue to contribute using this account if you do so responsibly, but continued vandalism or additional evidence of sockpuppetry will lead to this account also being blocked. --Orlady (talk) 16:57, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
