Your edits to Phuck
Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want.

 * If that was a serious entry then I'm sorry for deleting it. But it needs to be referenced; is there a news article or university press release somewhere to show that it's really happening? See WP:REF for an explanation. I couldn't find anything about Phuck-a-thons in Sproul Plaza thru Google. Moyabrit 08:39, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't really edit or categorise your article cause I have no idea what Phuck-a-thons or Sprouling are. What you wrote there doesn't explain what happens, or say why the events are important. If you write all the facts into the article, and mention the documents you have to back them up, then other editors might be able to help. Can I suggest creating a new article titled Phuck-a-thon and writing there - that title is still free and you won't get reverted all the time. See WP:FIRST for some guidelines.

The person who suggested creating that article was incorrect. I'm sorry that you proceeded based on that bad advice, but the content is not acceptable for Wikipedia. See Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Wikipedia is not the place for you to write about yourself, your life, or things that are not notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Take a look at some of the policies and guidelines linked at WP:WELCOME and I think that will help. This is not censorship - there are lots of websites that are free webhosting where you can say anything you want, but Wikipedia is not one of them. -- B 16:29, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
