Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. --Gurubrahma 09:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

The above links should help you in understanding how to contribute positively to Wikipedia. Even commonsense would dictate that calling some one a crackhead would not be construed as a constructive comment. Please read WP:V, all content added should be verifiable. Also, if you doubt the veracity of an article, the right way is to discuss it on the talkpage of such articles. --Gurubrahma 09:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

addition to crackhead
A student who uses Wikipedia as a valid source for historical research may be considered a crackhead without giving undue offense. When trying to teach teenagers proper historical investigation, why not add a harmless line to an 'official' entry such as under crackhead? The entry reads that the term is often used when talking about someone doing something foolish. I would like to add, "like using Wikipedia as a valid source for historical research." I do not consider that addition to be vandalism (how can you vandalize an open site?) and it is right. What is wrong with it?
