How to check history; how to use watchlist
Hello, Fellowmelad, and welcome to Wikipedia!

In response to your email, I wanted to leave you the big "welcome mat" above, which was incredibly helpful to me when I was a newcomer, and also a few specific tips.

Sometimes people forget that newcomers may not know how to check the page's history to see why somebody has removed the content they've placed, or changed it. It's frequently a good idea with newcomers to also leave a note on their talk page, but not everyone thinks of that. :/ Each article has a "view history" tab near the top - pressing on this will show you a log of all changes that have been made. When people are editing properly, they will leave edit summaries (as I see that you often do) explaining their actions. You can see the article of concern to you here: "Gulf War" history. As of this writing, your addition has been removed by two different editors, who are concerned that the addition does not conform to neutral point of view policy. You should review that policy to see if you agree with their concerns and, if so, can fix the addition so that it doesn't concern them anymore. If you don't agree, you should talk to them about it at the article's talk page. See Help:Talk page for more on how to do that. Dispute resolution and Consensus would also be good reading here.

Wikipedia encourages boldness in editing, but when people disagree with you, it's important to slow down and work through the dispute resolution process. The community has decided that having pages go excessively back and forth as people disagree about content is not good for our readers - for that reason, we ask that contentious content be discussed on talk pages. It's important enough to enforce this that there is a policy against edit warring that may lead to at least the temporary shutdown of pages or blocking of accounts.

In terms of the watchlist, placing a page on your watchlist does not automatically mean you will receive an active notice when it is changed. To learn how watchlists are used - and how to request email notifications - see Help:Watching pages.

If you need general information about working on Wikipedia, you can frequently receive it quickly at the Teahouse, which is designed to be a friendly environment for newcomers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:08, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Stop spamming the same (frnge) content repeatedly
