Hello, I'm North Shoreman. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to United States presidential election, 1800 have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

First. Welcome to Wikipedia editing. My name is Buster7. I've taken it upon myself to wander around Wikipedia article talk pages in search of disagreements between editors. My objective is to retain editors whenever I can. What I have noticed over the years is new editors (with the best of intentions) are prone to mistakes. Let me explain (in the spirit of teaching). The above thread points to an edit you made to the article United States presidential election, 1800. If you click on [this (called a diff)] it will take you to the historic record of your edit. If you then scroll down to see what the article looked like with your change, you will see the following notation in bright red: '''Cite error: There are tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). ==Bibliography=='''

What did was undo your edit (the next diff shows that) and the article reverted to its previous state. All fixed! The same thing probably happens hundreds of thousands of times a day. No harm done. An innocent beginners mistake repaired. Hope you learn your way around Wikipedia. I'll leave you a Welcome ASAP so you can have a road map. Buster Seven   Talk  02:38, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Welcome!
This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes ( ~ ) or by pressing or  in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Again, welcome! Buster Seven   Talk  02:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
