Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Hi, Donna60! How Mr Mullaney wants the page is irrelevant. What counts are things like whether the material is suitable for an encyclopedia, verifiable, and so on. Sorry, but liking dogs and hating cats isn't the sort of thing that belongs in an encyclopedia. Philip Trueman (talk) 16:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Jim Mullaney and Wikipedia policies
Hi Donna60! Please can we get this straight? Wikipedia aims to be a high-quality encyclopedia, not a blog site or a social networking site - see WP:NOTMYSPACE. If it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, it doesn't belong here. Anything that goes into Wikipedia should be verifiable by reference to independent sources - see WP:V. And no-one owns any articles on Wikipedia even if they are about them or people they know - see WP:OWN. If you want to stay and help us build the world's best encyclopedia, that's great - but please stick to the rules. Thanks. Philip Trueman (talk) 17:04, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree with Philip Trueman. Your edit summary "This is Mr. Mullaney's page, this is how he wants it" and your multiple reversions were improper and contrary to Wikipedia policies, as Trueman links to in the above post. I would add the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
