Amanda,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you have figured out that you can edit any article that you want. Being able to edit any article that you want is one of the wonderful things about Wikipedia. It is unfortunate that on your first edit (William Lyon Mackenzie King) you have decided to use this power for evil, instead of for good. Vandalism is sufficient cause to have a user banned, but since you are new here, I'd like to ask you to consider what it is that you want to do on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the product of the efforts of thousands of people around the world contributing hundreds of thousands of hours of free labour to share knowledge. We'd like you to help us. Please look around, read the information at Welcome, newcomers, and start contributing.

You must understand, though, that vandalism is not acceptable. There are many people watching these articles, so your vandalism (a) won't last long, and (b) just wastes your time and the time of those of us trying to build this encyclopedia. You can contact me at my user page if you have any questions. Kevintoronto 22:16, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
