Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Ben Affleck, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * Hi, Achmard, and welcome to Wikipedia. I probably should have used a different template, as what you did probably does not constitute full-blown vandalism. It is, however, a violation of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. In other words, although your contribution was properly sourced, you worded it wrong in that you were stating Mr. Affleck's opinions as fact instead of just quoting what he said. I.e., "the prejudice inherent in McCain's...", etc. Also, the phrase "which implied that an Arab could not be a decent family man and citizen" is probably original research or synthesis, which is against policy, though on second thought I don't believe you vandalised the site. I apologize for the confusion, and hope you'll stick around! :) Evanh2008, Super Genius Who am I? You can talk to me... 21:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
