Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Beeftardlick! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule example\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Girl Guide and Girl Scout, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. —Ian Spackman 15:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add unhelpful and unconstructive content to Wikipedia, as you did to World Organization of the Scout Movement. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —Ian Spackman 15:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to List of cheeses, you will be blocked from editing. —Ian Spackman 15:20, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

It has been suggested to me that I was over-harsh in characterising these three edits as vandalism. Having reviewed them, I think that perhaps I was a little severe and have struck out my comments above. Nevertheless, your two edits to the cheese article appeared to be pure vandalism of the sort which makes no pretence whatsoever to improve the encyclopdia. This is an activity which Wikipedia editors discourage very forcibly indeed. (We do not enjoy spending our time scraping graffiti off the walls. And obviously you should read the word graffiti as a euphemism for something smellier.) Your scouting edits seem to me not to have been exactly vandalism, however, even though weren’t really appropriate and have been properly removed. If you would like to contribute to Wikipedia—and we always welcome new people with things to offer—I would strongly suggest that you do two things: open a new account in a new name (nobody will know that, say, User:Muttonprontosuck] is the same person as User:Beeftardlick); spend some time making edits in the sandbox to make yourself at home with how to edit pages (you can do what you want there without anybody ever complaining). Hoping you will come back and make good contributions to the most widely consulted encyclopedia on the planet. Cheers! —Ian Spackman 21:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
