Dear AnnieTigerChucky
Although it is traditional to leave new talk messages at the bottom of a page, I'm leaving this at the top, in hopes you will read it. You may be confused by the revert on all your linking on Naked Brothers Band. Wikipedia manual of style suggests only linking unusual terms, and terms directly related to the article's subject, not every word that has a wikipedia article. This lets readers focus on the subject matter. For example, an article about Automobiles would link to Combustion Engine, but not to door. I hope this example helps you see what's good to link and what is not. Please reply on your talk page soon so we know you are reading our messages.ThuranX 23:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

The origanal inventors of the light switch
Morris Goldberg and William J. Newton invented the light switch in the year 1916. Goldberg and Newton lived in Brooklyn, New York. Though, Goldberg didnt take the money for his invention, because he didnt care about the money he just loved inventing. The company RCA offered him to be a member, but he didnt take the job.


 * This is an interesting fact. WOuld you consider finding a source, a book or a website that also states he wasn't interested in the money, and then add that fact to the light switch article, in it's history section? that sort of editing would be what wikipedia actually needs. You can add the following to the beginning of the source after the title, or web address, to make a citation. In the end, what you'd add would look like this:

My fact about light switches.


 * By doing that, you would add useful information to Wikipedia, and not see it reverted, but built upon by other editors. Thank you, and I hope this helps. ThuranX 20:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi again, AnnieTigerChucky. (I hope you don't mind, but I'll use the abbreviation ATC for you from now on, unless you object.) Looks like you're having trouble adding this information to the page, but I, and many other editors, are glad to see you reading your talk page. I would suggest that you Upload, to wikipedia, the image you are trying to show on the light switch page. I will add a "Welcome" template to your talk page as well as this note. In that template are many links to 'how-to' articles for improving Wikipedia, I think the 'uploading' is one of them, and if not, you can find it easily by reading those articles. We do welcome you here, ATC, and are glad to have you listening to some of our suggestions. In case you didn't know, you can reply here on your talk page to any messages left for you, or, you can go to that user's talk page, and reply there. Just don't make the common mistake of doing it to their user page, which is different than their user talk. For example, if you need more help, leave a message on [MY talk page]. Best regards, and good luck. ThuranX 04:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Images-13.jpeg
Thank you for uploading Image:Images-13.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 15:51, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie edits
Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, 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.

Your changes to autism
Hi, Annie. I've noticed all your work on the Wolff brothers lately. I've removed your changes to the WP:LEAD of autism and wanted to review those with you. As you may have noticed by reading its talk page, autism recently went through a rigorous peer review and is one of Wiki's best articles. The lead was carefully put together by consensus among many editors, and it would be good to discuss major changes on the article page before significantly altering the lead. For example, your additions to the lead included text that was already covered elsewhere in the article, introduced violations of WP:MOSBOLD, and introduced uncited text into an article that is otherwise scrupulously cited. If you'd like to make more contributions to the article, it would be helpful if you'd bring them up at Talk:Autism; hope to see you there! Sandy Georgia (Talk) 20:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I see you're continuing there. This edit, for example, is a violation of WP:MSH.  Would you mind removing it?  Thanks, Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 20:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, please don't remove citations from an article. Thanks again, Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 20:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

While your efforts to contribute to Wikipedia are appreciated, perhaps it would be best for you to discuss your proposed changes to Autism on its Talk page (Talk:Autism). I am concerned that the edits you have been making aren't really in the Wikipedia style, and you have inadvertently removed references on a few occasions now. Please also try to make use of edit summaries so that other Wikipedia editors can have a clearer idea of the changes that you're making. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi AnnieTigerChucky. Your edits today to autism removed sourced text and introduced new text on a topic that was already covered in the article.  TenOfAllTrades left you a link to the talk page of the autism article.  Please discuss your edits there.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 05:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid your recent changes to Autism caused the article's outline to change in what appear to be unintended ways, due to changing "===" to "==" in some places, and also introduced some unsourced text into the lead, as well as removing citations from the lead, and some grammar problems have surfaced. I have reverted the changes for now. Could you please discuss proposed changes like this on Talk:Autism before making them? Thanks. Eubulides 06:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Your continued addition of material to Autism of uncited material that other editors object to is disruptive. Please discuss your changes on the talk page before making them. Tim Vickers 00:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Edits to List of The Naked Brothers Band episodes
Before making any more edits to List of The Naked Brothers Band episodes, I suggest you read Help:Table and Help:Template so you can fully understand how they work. As for seperating season 2 into it's own article, this does not need to be done, per Wikipedia guidelines. Also, please remember to use the preview button and provide an edit summary. Thanks. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 00:23, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Episode list for The Naked Brothers Band (TV series)
Please stop adding a list of the episodes on the main article. They are already listed on the List of Naked Brothers Band episodes, word for word. If you do not stop adding this, I will have to report it as vandalism. --Pilotboi / talk / contribs 15:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

September 2007
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on The Naked Brothers Band (TV series). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute 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 which gains a consensus among editors. AngelOfSadness talk  16:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey there!
Hey there, Annie! Some editors would like to talk to you about your recent edits. If you are reading this, could you click the "[edit]" button that is to the right of the text that says, "Hey there!", and indicate that you are reading this? Thanks, Iamunknown 17:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Autism. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Tim Vickers 00:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Autism talk comment
Thanks for your contribution to the autism talk page. I responded to you at Talk:Autism. Eubulides 01:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I followed up with another comment in Talk:Autism . Eubulides 16:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)



has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Before proposing a change like this to the Autism article, can you please discuss it on the talk page? To do this, visit Talk:Autism and follow the tab labeled "+". Or you can follow this link. Thanks. Eubulides 21:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Real Life Story
Please stop making test edits to the naked brothers band page. Please use the sandbox or make useful contributions. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 22:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Allie DiMeco. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Leuko 23:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Allie DiMeco
I thought this was a very good edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Allie_DiMeco&diff=156371833&oldid=156287421

You used the edit summary and successfully explained to others exactly why you wished to make that particular edit. If you use the edit summary field every time, I believe other editors will stop mistaking your edits for vandalism. Cheers, --The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 23:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * ATC, I'm wondering if you are also and if you've forgotten to sign in?  If it's not you, I'm sorry for the intrustion. If it is, your latest edit to autism was a copyright violation, so I removed it. I thought it might be you because of the edits to the Wolff brothers, autism, and light switch.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 02:37, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Michael Wolff
ATC, I cannot decipher what these edits mean; the structure you've set up is unclear, and the addition is unsourced. I also wanted to make sure you're aware that, in the event you are also you should take care with WP:3RR. Regards, Sandy Georgia (Talk) 22:24, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

More Allie DiMeco edits
I've reverted a number of edits you've made to the Allie DiMeco article. If you continue to make unexplained, unconstructive edits such as these, I fear you will be blocked. Please use edit summaries and don't delete any templates without good reason.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 22:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Blocked
AnnieTigerChucky,

I have had to block you from editing Wikipedia. Numerous editors and administrators have been trying to communicate with you for several weeks now but you have ignored all their messages and unfortunately your editing style is causing too much disruption, so your account is now blocked from editing for 24 hours. I think it would be good if you used this opportunity to read over some of the help pages.

Please understand on Wikipedia, blocks apply per person. This means that you are not allowed to edit using any account or IP address until the block on your account has expired. If you try to edit with other accounts or anonymously, the block may be extended. The only thing that you are allowed to edit for the next 24 hours is this page. I would really like it if you would read through the messages that other people have been leaving you. I moved them to this page: messages for AnnieTigerChucky and please think about responding to some of the concerns raised there.

There are some important things that you need to understand before you start editing again.


 * Wikipedia is a collaborative project. This means that we work together on articles and must be willing to communicate with each other about what we are doing to articles. Communications is a very important part of Wikipedia and if an editor is unwilling to communicate they will most likely end up being banned. It is important that when somebody leaves you a message you answer them. If you don't understand what they are talking, that is fine, just write that you don't understand and they will explain themselves. Ignoring all the messages as you have been is not a good way to edit and if you continue ignoring people who leave messages here, you will end with much longer blocks. This is because it is very disruptive to ignore people's warnings, comments and questions and then continue doing what they told you is not allowed.


 * Wikipedia is very strict about copyright. You are not allowed to copy things from other websites, books, or articles. You must write the text that you want to add to an article in your own words. And you must not upload to Wikipedia images that you have not taken yourself. If you want to upload an image taken or created by someone else, they must tell Wikipedia that they agree to license their image as a free license. I have deleted the images you uploaded because they were not yours to donate to Wikipedia. The person who created the images must donate them to Wikipedia themselves if they want to allow us to use their pictures in our articles. Please understand that this is the law, not a crazy rule that Wikipedia made up. Do not upload pictures unless you created them  yourself. This is really important. You have been warned about this several times by several different people, if you continue uploading pictures that you did not create yourself, I will block you from editing Wikipedia for one week.


 * Please do not delete deletion discussion notices from articles, like you did here: This is disruptive and if you do this again, I will block you for a day.


 * If you think the block is unfair and would like to appeal it, please leave a message here on your talk page explaining why you think it is unfair. If you would rather discuss it privately, you can send me an email by clicking on this link: email.

Thank you, Sarah 07:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Tic Code
A tag has been placed on The Tic Code, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD g12.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. ~Matticus TC 21:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Michael Wolff
Hi, ATC; I removed your additions to Michael Wolff; Wiki cannot just take a large chunk of information from the Tourette Syndrome Association, replaying an interview about his Tourette's is unencylopedic and not appropriate to a bio about a musician whose life is more than TS, and you also removed a lot of cited text along with their references. I hope you've had a chance to read through some of the instructions and Wiki policies in the links above. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 21:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank You for all your help. Are you going to put a summary box and picture for the movie The Tic Code. Thanx! Maybe I'll ask for your help for another artical one day! Thanx again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnieTigerChucky (talk • contribs) 22:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like other editors got to that before I did. I don't upload pictures anyway because I'm concerned about copyright.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 23:25, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Please help!
Hi there AnnieTigerChucky. A number of users have had concerns with some of the changes you've been making. We love having people contribute to the Wikipedia project, and we'd love to have your contributions too. We need to make sure that your contributions are the best ones possible, which means that we sometimes have to ask you questions, and we need to get your input. If we understand wy you make the changes you do, it's much easier to make sure that the outcome is the best for the whole project. Please, when someone asks you a question, or makes a comment, we'd really appreciate it if you would reply, so that we can understand your position. I look forward to seeing your reply here, to let us know that you've read and understood my request. Thank you very much. &mdash; Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 22:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

More copyright problems
When I blocked you a few days ago, I warned you: "Wikipedia is very strict about copyright. You are not allowed to copy things from other websites, books, or articles. You must write the text that you want to add to an article in your own words." Yet a couple of days after your last block expired, you again repeatedly copied and pasted material from IMDb. I don't like blocking people who don't appear to be intentionally malicious, however, it is my job to protect Wikipedia from legal risks like people posting material they have essentially stolen from other sources like websites. I also need to think about the other editors who are being disrupted and are having to clean up all this stuff. So I have blocked you for one week, as I warned you I would if you kept violating copyright. Many editors have been trying to help you, but the fact that you are so unresponsive makes it impossible. Please reconsider your behaviour on Wikipedia because I really don't want to have to block you again. Sarah 03:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
