User talk:BMcG26

Welcome!
Hello, BMcG26, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The Introduction page contains a lot of helpful material for new users - please check it out. If you need help, visit Questions, or place   on this page and someone knowledgable will show up shortly to answer your questions. You can also leave a message on my talk page, but be aware I haven't been here too long myself, and may not know the answer to complex questions. At the very least, I can always help point you in the right direction.

I occasionally review changes to articles of interest to me, and I noticed you recently experimented with the page Waltham, Massachusetts. It looks to me like you weren't trying to vandalize the page, but just experiment. However, many people might misinterpret this, even if you subsequently remove your test edits.

To prevent any potential problems in the future, please use the Sandbox if you would like to experiment. You can essentially do anything you like there (within reason).

Again, welcome. --barneca (talk) 16:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Brian McGonigle
A tag has been placed on Brian McGonigle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 04:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

please stop
brian, making nonsense edits using an anonymous IP address when your username has been warned is considered bad form. if you want to experiment with wiki software, either use the sandbox or edit on your user page to your heart's content. but please stop editing articles like Waltham, Massachusetts unless you want to seriously contribute. you end up causing other editors needless maintenance work, and at worst you could end up having this IP address (which i assume you share with a school) blocked so no one can edit from it.

feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you'd like some advice on how to edit constructively. --barneca (talk) 21:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
