Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No Sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Banana republic
I have again removed the section you added about Iceland. It may be your opinion that the example of the banking crisis in Iceland is an example of a banana republic, but this is original research, and Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. We rely on what it written in reliable sources to build this encyclopedia. The tone of the writing was also not appropriate, see Writing better articles. When someone reverts your editing as I did, the correct response is to discuss the edit with them, either on their talk page or on the talk page of the article, i.e. Talk:Banana republic. This is explained as WP:BRD. Sure, a protester in Reykjavik called Iceland a banana republic, but USA Today explicitly says "This is no banana republic going bust." Your use of the New Yorker to back up the connection was odd, as it did not mention bananas. p.s. Banana production in Iceland. Fences &amp;  Windows  04:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
